About this book
Discover how to decipher the most important job interview questions so you can tell your interviewer what they really want to know.
Interview Speak shows you how to ace job interviews by answering the questions behind the questions. Written for job seekers in any field, Interview Speak shows you how to draw on your own unique skillset and deliver answers that will make you stand out.
In Interview Speak you’ll learn how to:
• Break down questions from the interviewer’s point of view
• Anticipate potential questions from a job description
• Develop authentic answers that make you stand out
• Navigate different interview stages
• Recognize and respond to different types of interview questions
Ever felt like you needed a translation guide for a job interview? Interview Speak is that book! From “what are your weaknesses” to “what salary are you looking for”, “why did you leave your last job” to “what questions do you have”, you’ll learn what employers are looking for when they ask these questions and how to give the best answer for you.
Have you ever left an interview thinking “nailed it!” and all you heard back was a short rejection? What happened? Didn’t you say all the right things? Here’s the hard truth: probably not! Job recruiters, screeners, and interviewers speak their own language. If you want to know what they’re really asking, you need to learn interview speak!
