Ensure success in the first five minutes of your interview This revolutionary approach to interviewing puts you in the driver's seat, enabling you to quickly, confidently gain insight into an employer's needs and objectives, then position yourself as the ideal candidate who best meets those needs-all in just five minutes. Here's how: Minute 1: First impressions-your looks, your dress, your attitude Minute 2: Steering the interview-traditionally it's the employer who establishes the line of inquiry, this time it's you Minute 3: While other candidates are still talking about themselves, you're getting the employer to tell you exactly how this position fits in the company's long- and short-term strategic goals-i.e., exactly what they're looking for Minute 4: Conventional candidates are still talking about their last jobs-you're learning the company's key problems and challenges Minute 5: Instead of fielding questions about your background, you're already positioning yourself as the ideal candidate to resolve those problems and meet all challenges This revised and expanded new edition of career guru Richard Beatty's bestseller-which includes three new chapters, Avoiding Interview Disasters, The Ideal Candidate Strategy, and Key Problems and Challenges Strategy-does more than get the job done ... it gets the job, period.
