New Career Book Unlocks Secrets to Stellar Job Interviewing
Cape Canaveral, FL (PRWEB) April 7, 2008 -- You can still get hired in this recession environment. Job openings are few and the competition stiff, so it's crucial to stand out from the crowd. The recently released career book, "Why Shouldn't We Hire You?" (The Writers' Café Press, December 2007) provides the reader with a thorough understanding of the interview process, from preparation to presentation and all the dynamics in between, in order to compete in today's complicated employment environment. Co-authors David Endress and Ronald Venckus take decades of insider human resources and career consultancy experience and hand readers the keys to stellar interviewing.
"Why Shouldn't We Hire You?" is based upon successes of thousands of clients Endress and Venckus have worked with over the years: their tactics and strategies are tried and true. The first half of the book provides extensive interview preparation strategies and "Coaches Corner" demonstrates how to apply the interviewing steps. Discussion, examples, resources, exercises and techniques show how to distinguish oneself and stand out from other interview candidates, including how to build one's personal likeability factor, the decisive point when applicants have similar job skills. "Venckus and Endress have taken us to the leading edge of today's proven interviewing strategies," states Michael Vandermark, PhD, Founder of International Coaching and Training Institute.
Right out of the gate, the interview preparation and delivery book has been ordered in bulk by the premier career management and placement firm, Stewart, Cooper & Coon, Inc. Recognized by industry professionals for its value to job seekers, copies of "Why Shouldn't We Hire You?" are mailed monthly to new clients. "Anyone can 'interview'," states Fred Coon, Chairman and CEO. "I am providing my clients this book because it clearly demonstrates how to present themselves to the hiring authority from a behavioral standpoint. This not only creates offers, it substantially increases the potential for more meaningful negotiations."
"Why Shouldn't We Hire You?" approaches the interview from unique angles. Unlike many other career books, the focus in this book is on the behavioral side of interviewing; knowing oneself is critical to gaining confidence. "The strongest interviews come from knowledge of personal behaviors and competencies," states Endress. Preparation for a job interview is key and involves more than memorizing stock questions: "We show readers how to anticipate questions and what the interviewer is looking for; it is a time of selling, not telling," adds Venckus.
"Why Shouldn't We Hire You?" ($18.95; ISBN: 978-1-934284-02-5; The Writers' Café Press, 2007) is available for sale online and can be ordered into a book store near you.
