Competitive Interviewing

Now, you may be wondering why we help with interviewing. Have you ever had a "perfect" interview... and then never heard back? Well, we've had clients who were top sales producers... and we've seen them fall flat on their faces when it came to interviewing and selling themselves.

Basically, interviewing is no different from other skills. How good would you be if you played golf or tennis only once in a while? Besides, for every good job... in most cases 5 to 10 other impressive people -- are also under consideration.

Let me share an analogy. Let's assume a major company invited you for an interview. Now, when you walked in, chances are, you'd only be 10% sold into that position. That means that 90% of the decision to hire you would rest on your ability to interview. This puts you under a lot of pressure.

Through our resumes we try to pre-sell our clients. Our goal is to have clients 40-50% pre-sold.

This contrasts with an individual who might show up at an interview, and who would normally be pre-sold only to a level of 10%. The idea is to have employers really want to see you. The reaction we aim for is: "John, I've been looking forward to seeing you -- I have the feeling you can really be of help to us."

    Now, besides "preselling," we do other things to give you a "major edge" in interviews. We anticipate most questions and come up with thoughtful responses to put you in the best light. We also prepare you for the range of personalities you may encounter, and make sure you are at your best in five key interviewing areas.

    They include "knowing about the employer before you set foot in the door"..."being able to read the interviewer"... "building exceptional chemistry in minutes"... "having your questions ready and being able to overcome any objection or handle any question"... "being able to tell memorable stories about your experiences." and "closing the right financial package."

    We cover all the bases to make sure that you are totally comfortable and at your best.
