Boost Your Interview IQ

Boost Your Interview IQ

The smart candidates guide to telling your story and landing a job offer:
'How would your coworkers describe your personality?'
'Why has it taken you so long to find a job?'
'Tell me about a time when you had to handle a stressful situation'.

In this competitive job market, how you answer these hardball questions can make or break your chances on an interview. Without the best possible preparation and response from you, the interviewer may decide on another candidate - or worse, you may get crossed off the list right from the start.

Recognise these challenging queries as opportunities to present yourself, your skills, your confidence and your presence in the best possible light. Boost Your Interview IQ is the book every smart candidate should have. With key insights from a seasoned career coach who is an expert in behavioural interviewing techniques, it provides you with the ability to ace the most difficult questions on an interview.

This book's key asset is in its multiple-choice answers. Do you see the answer you might have given on a previous interview - vs. a stronger answer? Martin offers key insights into why an answer is powerful, the reason behind a mediocre response that doesn't reflect you or your skill sets in the best light - or the weakest answer, which upon utterance may automatically disqualify you as a candidate.

With over 100 questions, designed to position you as the best possible asset to the team at every step of your career, Boost Your Interview IQ should be your go-to-guide in your job search and mandatory reading for every potential candidate.
