Brilliant Interview

What employers want to hear and how to say it

 

A job interview is a big deal – a new job can boost your career and affect your whole life. But what are interviewers really looking for? What can you say and do to improve your chances of getting the job? And what should you avoid at all costs?

 

Brilliant Interview is the book that reveals how interviewers decide who they want to hire – and how to make sure that person is you. It’s a clear, down-to-earth guide with tips, examples and advice from the people who know best – the interviewers.

 

New to this edition are suggestions of what to say in those anxious moments as you walk to the interview room, and a whole new section on competency-based interviews, so you’ve nothing to fear, whatever they throw at you.

 

You’ll arrive on the day knowing what it is the interviewer is looking for – and you’ll be ready to deliver it.

 

Don’t be good, be brilliant.
