Job Interview: Knowing What to Say, Do, Ask, and Think to Increase Your Chances of Getting Your Dream Job

By Derrick Foresight

The following topics are included in this 2-book combo:



Book 1: This book will lead you in your next job interview. It will help you understand the reasons why interviewers ask specific questions and how to answer them. Being prepared for those questions can increase your chances of getting the job you want.


It will also show you which questions are smart to ask your potential future employer, because, as opposed to what some people may suppose, this is an important part of the interview to show how passionate you may be about your future job.


Last but not least, most people forget to follow up and simply wait for the interviewer to contact them. This is a big mistake. If you want to stand out among the crowd, it is important to follow up after the interview, and show how driven and motivated you are.



Book 2: When it comes to job interviews, it would surprise you how many people don’t have a clue what to do. They think if they just act like themselves (nothing wrong with that), all else will just happen.


That’s not how it works. The people who are most prepared usually stand the highest chance to make a good impression on the interviewer. Aside from questions like “tell me about yourself” or “how would you describe yourself,” they will look for competent employees who know how to sell their skillset with confidence. They want to know about your weaknesses, and if those weaknesses will create any problems in their company.


So, how will you do in your next job interview?


Well, it’s up to you. But the right information, such as the details you can find in this guide, can certainly help.
