How do you feel when you get the notification that you have been selected for an interview? Inspired? Terrified? The biggest stumbling block that lets people down at interviews is nerves! And people are usually nervous because they haven't prepared properly. You have been asked to interview because the company or organization wants to meet YOU. They want to know how it's going to feel to work with you, to see you every morning, to find out whether your personality is likely to match the team already there. The problem is as follows: very few people feel comfortable when having to talk about themselves. When you were growing up you were probably taught that you shouldn't show off about your achievements because others would think that you were big-headed or egotistical. Yet that is exactly the issue you must address, and in an age where competency based interviews are all the rage, this is a skill you cannot be without. Your interview preparation should focus on you getting to know who YOU are, and because for most of your life you have been worrying more about what others are doing and what they might think of you, you have forgotten who the real you is. You have been looking outwards, and to be successful at an interview you have to look inwards. This book presents you with an easy to follow process that is going to transform the way you present yourself so that next time you go for interview you stand out way higher than all the other candidates!
