Through all my years of experience in the recruiting industry and leading a global recruitment company, I have yet to find a single source that really teaches candidates how to win interviews. There are countless resources available that teach you how to get an interview or what to do after the interview. However, none of these resources detail what to do during the critical time you spend actually sitting across from the interviewer. There just is not much material out there that addresses this crucial aspect of the hiring process. Therefore, in an effort to assist anyone faced with an upcoming interview, I have decided to impart my years of experience to you with the hopes that you can win interviews and land your dream career.
