Get that job!

The job interview questions you must ask
Do you worry about being interviewed?
If so you are not alone. Most people dread interviews. As the big day approaches, so does an overwhelming feeling of anxiety.
Job candidates who are calm and confident are either foolish or know beforehand they will be offered the job. Because these days any kind of certainty about landing a good, openly advertised job is misplaced, except in highly qualified and specialized fields.
The fact is, most job candidates are simply trying to advance their career and pay. All interviewers know that and will only put you on the job shortlist if you display a special extra ability, over and above the rest of the field. A talent that will put you into the tiny category of top performers:
The ability to ask intelligent job interview questions.
For your next job interview, stack the odds in your favour with this groundbreaking book:
The Questions You Must Ask to Get That Job!
Good opportunities are not available every day. The prospect of success, together with the fear of failure is what makes people nervous. No-one likes to be humiliated; but most people are just not natural job interviewers. They don’t look or sound their best under examination. There is a simply reason for this:
The job interview candidates are walking into a false situation and everyone knows it.
This book, costing just GB £9.99 is ready for downloading now – and shows you how to turn the job interview process around in your favour.
As you read it, ask yourself a simple question:
“Can I improve the odds on my success?”
Yes you can!
But change is required. There are dangers in following the same old course when going to a job interview:
No matter how much you research on how to conduct a job interview, the odds will be against you. And I believe you are right to worry because it stands to reason most applicants will not be included on the short list for the position – and only one person will get that job.
What is needed is a change in mind-set — to take a realistic attitude to your next job interview. Here’s why:
No matter how well you think you can do the job advertised, it’s unlikely the interviewer will recognize how good you would be in that role.
How could he see how great you are when he hasn‘t seen how well you perform?
Here are some hard facts:
1. You are up against unknown competitors
2. You are being interviewed for an unknown job
3. Your job interview will be conducted by an unknown manager
4. You will be applying for a job in an unknown company
Yes, the odds against you are worse than lousy. They are overwhelming.
Bad though it can be, you can win. All it takes is knowing the right job interview questions.
Yes, going through a punishing job interview is a fact of life. We all have to do it. But you can improve those odds. You can make the forthcoming meeting with that challenging and inquisitive job interviewer a more even-handed encounter!
Have you ever wondered how some people get almost every job they go for?
(This is a true story)
Why is it that some people (and we all know at least one) are offered almost every job in the interviews they go for, while others are stuck in poorly paid jobs?
The key is simple: it’s the interview questions you ask that will get you your next big job. Intelligent questions are what distinguishes the intelligent job applicant.
Why? I can tell you now your competitors for that job won’t have prepared in the right way. Having interviewed hundreds of job applicants for jobs from secretary to company director, I can tell you only one or two prepare the questions they need to vault onto the shortlist.
The candidates with good interview questions stand out from the rest of the crowd. They are the ones that are always invited back and placed on the shortlist.
Successful job interviews
Qualifications, age and education have nothing to do with this kind of career success. My nephew Nathan, for example, didn’t even attend college or university, but has landed high-paying job after job. He currently works for a blue-chip finance company. He is just 24, owns a big house, a great car and sits in an impressively large corner office with his name on the door.
Another friend, Jon, was fired for misconduct (he played a joke by circumventing a slapdash computer security system). Did he worry? No – he took a couple of weeks off to see the sights and go to the gym. He was completely un-phased by his need to find a replacement job to pay his rent.
Jon was hired by the second person who interviewed him and now runs his own department in one of the largest news services in the world.
Do job qualification matter that much?
Was Jon highly qualified? No. Did he know the job interviewer or the company? No. Neither Nathan nor Jon posses a university education. This means they find it difficult if not impossible to get past the Human Resources department, because in most companies Human Resources advertised these jobs for graduates only.
Nathan and Jon realize the only way to get the interview is to by-pass Human Resources and talk directly to the boss who was recruiting.

To explain how we will significantly improve the odds in your favor, I will explain the common errors most people make when they approach job interviews. It is these errors that cause such nervousness and almost certain failure.
A fear of failure occurs no matter how well prepared a job candidate is. You’ll find thousands of pages of job interview advice on the Internet and in your local bookshop, but as I will demonstrate, they are all pointing you in the wrong direction!
A job interview is like being asked to act without a script
Taking a couple of hours to read a best-selling
’How to pass that tough interview’ book is rather like asking an up-and-coming actor to act a part by handing him a book on ‘How to act‘. That’s how crazy the job interview situation is!
What that budding actor needs is a script and a few rehearsals!
No matter how much he reads on how to improve his acting skills, he will never know how to act that particular part. The more he reads, the more he will realize that when that curtain opens he will be completely unprepared and the audience will know it.
Stage fright is similar to the fear of failing a job interview. The more books and web pages you read on job interview skills the more you are likely to forget. How can you possibly know the answer to all the questions you are likely to be asked when only the interviewer, not you, knows the full extent of the job on offer?
What happens when you forget your lines?
Have you seen what happens when an actor forgets his lines? If he is on TV or in a movie, he consults his script and the scene is shot again. No problem. It happens all the time.
But on a live stage, a ‘prompt’ whispers the lines and embarrassment ensues.
A live stage is unforgiving. But a job interview is far worse!
You have no script, no prompt and your audience is the interviewer who, unlike a theatre audience will not stay quiet if you get something wrong!
Do you remember what it’s like to be silently stared down in a job interview? It’s scary! You are in a much tougher situation. There are no second chances. You are not trained, like an actor and are unlikely to be able to memorize hundreds of sheets of script so mistakes are inevitable. On top of those disadvantages, an error means you probably won’t be invited back.
The more you examine the two situations the clearer it is that the acting and interview process are alike. Both are artificial, both are stressful and both will decide your future success.
But interviewing is far worse. You need something more than just a resume and a nice smile to swing the process in your favour!
The actor has only himself to blame if he forgets his lines. He has a script to practice with and he is expected to be able to remember it. But in a job interview you are being asked to act a part without a script, to improvise in front of a highly critical audience that holds your future in his or her hands.
This is unfortunate because a job interview can make or break your career progress in just a few short minutes. So it’s important to examine this artificial situation and ask:
How can I break out of this false job interview scenario and turn things to my benefit?
