Synopsis

People going for interviews for jobs today often fail because they are using yesterday's strategies. They haven't realised that the best employers have changed the way interviews are done and it now takes a different strategy to succeed. "Competency-Based Interviews" shows today's candidates a new, more targeted way to prepare for the tough interviews based on the competencies that the most sophisticated employers are looking for. Most sophisticated international employers are using competency-based systems to recruit, interview and select employees. Corporations such as American Express, BP, Coca-Cola, Energizer, Federal Express, IBM, and Pfizer are all looking for specific competencies. Preparing for a competency-based interview will give you the strategy you need to: be selected for the most competitive positions; win the best job at a new organisation; get a great first job; be chosen for that critical promotion in your current organisation; take control of your career path; increase your salary; and get more interesting assignments and more interesting work.
