A 2013 poll indicated that 92% of people get stressed about having a job interview. Your anxiety may be related to your qualifications (or lack thereof), fear that you won’t know what to say, being ill-prepared, or perhaps it is just general nervousness. Regardless of what the root of your apprehensions might be, Get That Job is designed to help you to be prepared, confident and ultimately successful.
The first of four sections details the three different types of interviews; the standard in-person, telephone and video interviews. The second section deals with the actual process of the interview, including how you should prepare for it and what to do afterwards. The third and fourth sections are perhaps the most interesting, as they list common interview questions and common interviewee mistakes. Although short, this book is replete with very practical tips. For example, “If you are given a swivel chair, you may be tempted to or even absentmindedly swing from side to side.” It also explains how to answer some of the simple questions that may stump you, such as when the interviewer asks, “Do you have any questions for me?”
Get That Job is a concise guide that will help you to be prepared for your next job interview. If you follow Christine Reidhead’s suggestions, you’re sure to have a successful interview!
