This book is intended specifically for those 22-to-42-year-old job seekerswho are either looking for their first job right out of college or are mid-career jobchangers. There are plenty of jobs out there, but there are plenty of job seekers too – soyou have to be at the top of your game!Since you’ll be competing with several dozen – if

not hundreds – of other applicants, your resume and your interview need to stand outand be remembered. Not because you spilled coffee down the front of your shirt, butbecause you were absolutely brilliant in the interview and the employer cannot wait to getyou on board!For the purposes of this book, I’m going to assume that you’ve got a goodresume and a good cover letter, and you’re now receiving calls for Telephone and In-Person Interviews. This book will focus on what to do to really impress that potentialemployer in both your Telephone and In-Person Interviews.Best wishes for a successfuljob search!Chapter 1The Phone Interview RequestIt’s a Tuesday afternoon, and youreceive a phone call from someone who has your resume and would like to schedule agood time for a phone interview. It’s in your best interest not to respond, “How AboutNow?”. You have some research to do before you’re ready for that phone interview, so youneed to buy yourself some time. Try to schedule the phone interview for the followingday.Now hop on the Internet and learn everything you can about the company that’scontacting you. If it’s a headhunter calling, they won’t likely tell you their client’s name,because the headhunter only makes his commission if he successfully places you in thatposition. And the only way he can do that is by not having you contact the hiring employerdirectly. You should, however, ask the headhunter for any information s/he can give youon the employer so you can be prepared for the interview. You should be able to get atleast the type of business it is, how large (revenue and/or employees), general location,etc.Assuming you have the name of the company for whom you’d actually be working, findtheir website and read it – all – especially the About Us page. Studying the websitecarefully will help you understand the employer from the employer’s point of view, whichis important. You need to know about their history, their target clients, and their corebusiness. You need to know what they think of themselves and what they say are theirstrengths.Now look the company up on Indeed and Glassdoor and see what thecompany’s employees are saying about working there. If most of the reviews are negative,I suggest you do the phone interview but let the interviewer know you’ve researched thecompany and you’re concerned that the company’s employees don’t have much positiveto say about it. If nothing else, it’s interesting to see how the employer will spin negativereviews. They may claim it’s just “disgruntled ex-employees”, but some thoughts to keep inmind:How do they know these are “disgruntled employees”, when the reviews areconfidential?If their ex-employees are disgruntled there are likely valid reasons for that.See if you can pick up any themes that seem consistent across most of the negativereviews. For example, if seven former employees wrote negative reviews about thecompany and four or five of those reviews mentioned the company’s dictatorialmanagement style, there’s a good chance the overall management style of the company israther dictatorial. Where there’s smoke, there’s usually fire.If ten former employees tookthe time to write reviews about the company and seven of them were negative, chancesare good that there are three times that number of disgruntled current and formeremployees who didn’t bother to write reviews.Today, we have a limitless ability to writeonline reviews about everything from an interview experience to a handyman’s handiwork

to a new restaurant you tried to the comfort of the new socks you purchased. We’reconstantly online, giving our opinions on everything – and the subjects of our opinions aremostly either the Greatest Ever or the Worst Ever. How many times do you take to anonline review forum to praise the mediocrity of a product? “Eh, it was so-so, and I mightbuy it again. I give it a 2.5 out of 5.” No, you’re going to take the time to write a review onthe most horrible restaurant experience you had ever – or the most awesome. The sameholds true with online reviews of employers. The people who take the time to write areview either had a nightmare-inducing experience with the employer, or had no choicebut to leave the greatest employer ever only because their spouse got transferred to NewZealand for work.Your goal here is not to challenge the employer on the reviews, and youdefinitely don’t want to alienate your potential employer. But you do need to find outwhether you’ll be walking headfirst into a hornet’s nest if you take a job with them.Personally, I would never accept a job with a company that had Glassdoor or Indeedemployee ratings less than 3 on a scale of 1-5.Now just do a general “Google Search” onthe company and see what results pop up. An article on the Controller going to jail in 2013for embezzling funds and it’s trashed the company’s Credit Rating? An article about thecompany’s extraordinary philanthropic record for the past 10 years? Take all thisinformation into account.Now you’ve got the information you need to have that phoneinterview, if you choose to do so. If you’ve learned a lot more negative than positive aboutthe employer, you may want to reconsider. You’re not going to be able to overcome theinertia of an unhappy employee population or change a company’s overall culture, so whyeven subject yourself to it? If you feel uneasy about what you’ve learned about theemployer, the best advice is to avoid them. Call the recruiter back, thank them for theopportunity to interview for the position, but say you don’t believe it would be a good fitfor you and you want to be respectful of the interviewer’s time. Not wasting 20 to 30minutes of your own time is as important as not wasting 20 to 30 minutes of theinterviewer’s time (but you won’t say that!).Chapter 2The Phone InterviewThe purpose ofthe phone interview is to screen out the obviously poor fits. It’s far better for the employerto spend 20 or 30 minutes on the phone with you than inviting you in for what – mostlikely – will take an hour or more of the interviewer’s time and may involve otherparticipants’ time as well.Frequently, in high-volume hiring situations (auto industry jobs,health care jobs, for instance, where the organization is trying to fill many open positionsquickly) the phone interview will be somewhat more condensed and rudimentary.Thephone interview will go somewhat along these lines:Q: Tell me about yourself and why youapplied for our open position OR What about the position’s ad interested you the most?You might get these questions during the in-person interview as well. The employer istrying to find out whether your resume is pure fluff, or whether you actually have the skillsand competencies you claim. In the second scenario, the interviewer is making sure youactually read the ad and will therefore be able to converse intelligently about theresponsibilities and requirements. Everyone wants to feel special – and even if you’resending your resume for every ad you see that’s remotely similar to your experience, this

employer needs to feel you only have eyes for him.To be properly prepared, you musthave a printed copy of the job ad or description AND a printed copy of your resume onthe table in front of you. You should have a nice one-to-two minute “elevator speech”ready to rattle off. What do I mean by an “elevator speech”? Imagine you get on anelevator with the company’s President and you really want to work there. You’re bothgoing up to the 4th floor – about two minutes’ time. What will you say to that executive inthe two minutes he’s a captive audience that convinces him he really needs to hire you?Most important is not to sound desperate – and you won’t, because you’ve written outyour elevator speech, read it in front of a mirror (with a smile on your face) a dozen times,and had family members listen to it a dozen times and fine-tuned it to be a thing ofbeauty. When you rattle off that elevator speech, though, it should not sound rehearsed.Difficult to do, but not impossible. And above all else, do not just read your elevatorspeech from your written notes. The interviewer will be able to tell you’re reading it. Thenwhen (if) you get to the in-person interview stage, the interviewer will try to trip you up byasking you the same question again. You won’t be able to read your elevator speechduring a live interview.These paragraphs can be rattled off in 120 seconds, but you want tosound sincere (because you are) and unrehearsed (even though it is). So take a deepbreath before you start, then speak slowly and confidently. It should take two minutesmaximum. To pace yourself and make sure you don’t rush through your elevator speech,you should plan on a natural break to exhale and inhale. I’ve indicated a good spot likethis [ * ] .If you’re a recent college graduate, it should sound something like this:I justgraduated with Honors from Vanderbilt University with a degree in BiomedicalEngineering. While in school, I did three different Internships that helped me put theacademics into practical business use and also helped me narrow down the scope of mycareer plan to positions for which I’m especially well-suited.[ * ]The Biomedical Engineerposition at Wilkins Corporation is a perfect match for my skills and interests. I’m so excitedto learn more about the job. Of course, I chose to apply with Wilkins because of your greatreputation in the field, and I’m impressed with the life-saving research Wilkins hasconducted. I really believe my education and internships have given me a solid foundationon which to build a career and I’d love for that career to be with the WilkinsCorporation.For an experienced (or even an inexperienced) candidate, this question couldthrow you – because it’s really two questions in one - very different from one another. Becareful to answer both questions completely. Again – the questions: Tell me about yourselfand why you applied for our open position OR Tell me about yourself and what about theposition’s ad interested you the most?I received my Bachelor’s in Social Work from theUniversity of Michigan. I was awarded a merit-based 4-year scholarship from the SmithFund. My first job upon graduation was with the InnerCity Youth Project, where I workedwith youth ages 12 to 18. I had a caseload of about 100 clients and was successful inhelping 90% of them to graduate from high school, and 70% to complete at least twoyears of college. It was incredibly rewarding work, and I found that this is the age group Ienjoy working with the most.[ * ]I was with the InnerCity Youth Project for four years, until

the Project was absorbed into the YOUth Movement!. At the YOUth Movement!, Icontinued my work for 3 more years with 12-to-18 year olds and had a higher caseload –almost 150 clients. It was a huge responsibility to connect with all these kids and theirfamilies and I was humbled when the kids and their families threw a party for me tocongratulate me on my move to Texas with my new husband.[ * ]My husband’s new jobbegins June 1st and we plan to move to Houston in late May. I’ve enrolled in the Universityof Texas Master’s program in Counseling beginning in June, and all of my classes are eitheronline or on weekends.When I learned of the opportunity with the Wayside YouthProgram, I was certain I could make a solid contribution to the program based on myextensive work with youth in similar circumstances. I’m particularly drawn to theopportunity to develop new counseling programs and projects for youth and that’s anarea in which I hope to be able to focus.It’s possible that the interviewer will at some pointinterrupt your elevator speech with something on which s/he’d like more clarification. Ifthat happens, simply respond to the question, and return to your elevator speech to finishit up. The point here is to help the employer understand your eagerness to learn moreabout the position and the company because you believe the opportunity to be a greatmatch for your talents and you believe you can bring great value to the organization.If thisis your first professional job since college, the interviewer may want to ask a few morequestions about what you did in school and why you did it, maybe some questions aboutspecific coursework. Most likely, though, the interviewer’s next concern will be with yoursalary expectations. This is always tricky, and you don’t want to shut yourself out ofconsideration for a great job because your desired salary range was $5,000 higher thanthe interviewer had in mind.You need to be prepared to answer such a question, becauseit’s going to be asked either during the phone or in-person interview. You must have areasonable response – and that does not include asking the interviewer, “Well, what doesthe job pay?” or “What’s the job’s salary range?”. Don’t get into a game of “I asked youfirst.”Most employers have set salary grades or ranges for their jobs and they try to keepthem competitive in the marketplace by periodically reviewing the external marketplace tofind out what other employers are paying. The best place for you to get this kind ofinformation is from a website like – the National Association of Colleges and Employers.NACE publishes a quarterly salary report that contains information on actual salaries paidto actual new graduates in specific fields of study. The report also contains student-reported salaries for those same fields of study. You should try to target your salaryexpectations somewhere near the lower to middle part of the reported ranges. Forexample, if you’re applying for entry-level Quality Engineer positions in manufacturingoperations, the reported range from employers and the colleges would be something likethis:

BLUE ELEPHANT, “GREAT with the basics, really helpful!. I recently quit my retailmanagement job of 11 years. Although I have given numerous interviews, I haven'tactually prepared for myself to be interviewed in a LONG time.This book is a little thin, butI found most of it pretty helpful. You just have to apply everything to your history/background. The basics are great in here. I'm sure I could have found this informationwith LOTS of google searching, but who has time for that? It's all here in one littlepackage.It must have worked, because I was hired for my dream job in healthcare!”

Katherine, “Definitely A Must Read. It's true. One of the 7 questions was asked during thephone interview... #3. However, I learned at the end of the interview that it was a fishingexpedition. The interviewer started by asking me what employment I had BEFORE my firstentry on my resume and then after covering what was on my resume, double backedagain to what I did before. I was disappointed since it didn't seem that 18+ years

experience in one position was not good enough, but trying to determine how old I was. Iwould recommend this book-- it's quick and gets to the point. I did get a job in anotherinterview-- face to face and I based my responses entirely on the ones recommended inthe book. It set me at ease even though I was nervous! It helped to break the ice when Imentioned I was nervous too... the interviewer quickly became less formal... Thanks muchfor this...”

That One Guy, “THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!. I purchased this to assist me inpreparing to interview for my dream job, which I NAILED! There is a TON of knowledgehere, and the prep questions are a great way to get your mind in the right frame tointerview. I cannot recommend this book enough - it would be a bargain at twice theprice.”

Scribarian, “Sure fure success in gaining the job you deserve!. You were probably the mostqualified. You were probably the smartest. You beat hundreds by winning an interview.You wore a thousand dollar suit and the other guy's cost less than a hundred. Everwondered why YOU didn't get the job?Because the OTHER guy was better at you thanrepresenting himself; he was probably more positive; listened to the questions; thoughtcarefully about his answers - more carefully than you did!
