17 - How to Answer the Leadership Style Question (Bonus #2)
From our weekly shows, this cast describes how to answer the interviewing question, "Describe Your Leadership Style." This is perhaps the third most important interviewing question, after, "Tell me about yourself," and behavioral questions. It can be a tough one if you haven't done some thinking...

16 - How to Handle the Interview Weakness Question (Bonus #1)
An additional Interviewing show, originally covered on our weekly podcast ... Mark recently blogged about the crazy advice being given - by the Wall Street Journal! - about how to handle the perennial interviewing question, "Tell me about a weakness." He was stunned by how wrong some of the...

15 - Phone Interviews
These days, many employers use phone calls to pre-screen candidates before offering in-person interviews. If you are looking for a job, it is likely that at some point, you will be asked to "chat for a few minutes on the phone". Many recruiters are straight-forward enough to call it a "phone...

14 - How to Handle Offers
Offers are what we set out to get when we interview. Most people would tell you that when you interview you're looking for a job, but that's wrong. Wanting a "job" out of the interviewing process is a subtly bad goal to have. It mixes together the two parts of the search, getting offers and…

13a - How to Follow-up with Multiples (Updated)
This guidance helps you know what to do in two common follow up situations: when there are multiple interviews or multiple interviewers.

13 - How to Follow-up
Follow up is one of the most misunderstood parts of the interviewing PROCESS. Remember Horstman's first law of interviewing, "Until You Got Something, You Got Nothing". Most interviewees make a mistake by believing that the Interview Process is done when the interview is done -- that the contest…

12 - Salary Questions
During this show, we discuss one of the most emotional aspects of the interviewing process -- Salary. We cover this topic because we get so many questions about it. What do I do when salary comes up? How do I handle when they ask for MY salary? What do I say when they ask me what I'm looking for?...

11 - How to Close an Interview
Closing is the single most powerful technique we know of in interviewing. Mark considers it the HOLY GRAIL of interviewing: those who close, all other things being equal, are significantly more likely to be successful. It is essentially the ONLY SURE WAY to OWN the end of the interview.

10 - How to Ask Questions
In this part of the interview, after you've finished the "Answers" portion, it's your turn to ask questions of the interviewer. It's an often overlooked opportunity to do well in interviews, because so many people don't prepare for it. They treat it like the introductions section, and instead…

9 - Examples of Significant Accomplishments
This show covers EXAMPLES of the most important question you'll ever get in an interview: "Give me an example of a significant accomplishment". In the previous show, we walked through the structure or design of the answer, and here we'll review the guidance, and then give two examples, using...

8 - Significant Accomplishments
This show is about the most important question you'll ever get in an interview: "Give me an example of a significant accomplishment". Recruiters more and more these days are using BEHAVIORAL INTERVIEWING, which centers around the theory (well proven) that the best way to predict future behavior…

7 - Tell Me About Yourself
In this cast, you'll learn how to answer the first BIG question you'll get in any professional interview: Tell Me About Yourself. Sometimes it comes in different forms - "Give me a quick rundown", "Walk me through your resume,", etc. But the fundamental premise of this question is to quickly…

6 - Interview Introductions
In this cast, you'll learn how to handle the crucial first five to ten minutes of any interview - Introductions. It is absolutely true that this is a critical part of the interview - first impressions are being formed, and I’d bet 75% of interviewers have a strong indication of how it’s going to…

5 - What to Wear During the Interview
Figuring out what to wear for interviews, according to most people, has gotten a lot harder than it used to be. Given that first impressions can greatly influence a hiring decision, the manner in which you present yourself during an interview can make a big difference in your ability to advance...

4 - How to Write a Cover Letter
Somehow, with the advent of the internet in recruiting, the interest in and the ability to write good cover letters has disappeared. And yet, it's a necessary skill when one thinks of the entire job search as a PROCESS as opposed to just interviewing events. What we're going to do in this podcast...

3 - How Prepare an Effective Resume
Mark and Mike have a very different view of resumes. Your resume is NOT just for interviewing. Your resume, regardless of the baggage associated with it, is probably your most critical career management document. While it's not something you ought to leave laying around on your desk (or on...

2 - The 5 Parts of the Interview
The structure of most interviews is so well known, it only makes sense that we understand that structure and learn how to be effective within it. During this session, we'll discuss each of the 5 parts of an interview, what to expect, and how to be prepared. After which, you'll learn Horstman's…

1 - How to Prepare Yourself for Interviewing
Did you know that during the interview there is a very specific point of view you take? Mark shares with us that point of view and why it makes an incredible difference. I bet you would like to know what THE biggest mistake interviewees make, and what can you do about it, wouldn't you? Well…
