There is a high level of complexity in even the “average” job search, let alone a multi-faceted one. This workbook is designed to help you think through and solve for such complexity. From executives to new graduates, this book will save you hours as you identify your personal value proposition and complete your interview preparation.
The Second Edition of Master the Interview reflects how the world and job markets have changed in significant ways since the first publication in 2016. It includes expanded discussions about networking intentionally, overcoming bias and challenges, excelling at video conference interviews, negotiating job offers and other topics. It also includes new chapters such as a list of top action items for interview prep and a deep dive into potential answers for a key interview question, your reason for leaving (RFL) your current or most recent role.
Encompassing Ms. Segal's consistent yet evolving views about how to best prepare for an interview, this book leverages her hundreds of conversations with jobseekers, recruiters, interviewers, clients and others. Whether you seek to truly “master” the interview or simply want to pick up a few tips to up your game for a job search or position yourself for an internal promotion, you will find what you need in this book to create and achieve an effective and accelerated path to land the role you seek next in your journey.
Part 1 focuses on your outer game, from your strategy and interview day game plan to suggestions on how to generate more interviews.
Part 2 focuses on your inner game, from building your confidence and moving past emotional and mental blocks to overcoming bias and other special challenges.
Part 3 takes an in-depth look at interview Q&A, including the capstone question "why do you want to work here?"
Part 4 gives you the tools to differentiate yourself in a crowded market and articulate your personal value proposition.
Part 5 covers the “unwritten rules” of interviewing.
Part 6 guides you to successfully follow up after the interview and “close,” including how to evaluate and negotiate one or more job offers.
Amidst the many revisions and updates of this Second Edition, what has not changed is the book's focus on the key, underlying question of every interview, even if it is not asked directly:
Why should I hire you?
Every topic you discuss and answer you give in an interview should be responsive to that key question. Using it as a lens to frame your talking points will improve the likelihood that you will come across as a compelling, confident and relevant candidate.
There are many facets of a successful job search, from presenting your leadership abilities and subject matter expertise to the elusive analysis of your “fit” for an organization and role. Each of these topics and more are covered in this self-contained workbook.
It’s about time that someone took the time to go DEEP into the mechanics of effective interviewing. You can either study the whole book or identify the parts of MASTER THE INTERVIEW you need. Either way, it’s worth your money and even more, it’s worth your time.
