Are you nervous and jittery when it comes to HR interviews because:

• You haven’t interviewed in awhile and your skills are rusty and out-of-date?

• You are filled with self-doubt, not sure what to expect and feel unprepared?

• You have been on a few HR interviews already and you consistently get no job offers?

• You’ve been laid off, fired, want to change jobs, get promoted or you’re in the job market for the first time…and you struggle with how to sell yourself persuasively in interviews? 

• You’re a busy, overworked HR pro trapped in your current job and you don’t have time to figure out what to do to get ready for interviews fast?`

• You don’t know about the subtle little secrets the best HR candidates use to make themselves  memorable, stand out from the rest of the pack…and land the job offer?

Here’s the deal…even the most experienced and savvy HR professionals get nervous going into interviews.

It doesn’t matter how much recruiting and talent acquisition experience they have interviewing OTHER candidates.  In fact, if you’re like them…

You may have interviewed hundreds of
job candidates in your HR career.
But…there’s a HUGE difference when
YOU are on the other side of the table
as the interviewee.

When someone else is now in control of the interview and when it’s your own career on the line, the challenge, risk and level of difficulty is much greater.

And if you haven’t interviewed in awhile or you’re rusty, it’s easy to overlook the subtle, finer points of positioning yourself as a top HR candidate — and winning the job offer.

This book will help you overcome these challenges and give you a competitive edge.

Interviewing for your dream job? Get this book first!
“Alan Collins is the man behind the best HR books I’ve read.   This book reminds me of an interview I had last year. A sleepless night before the day of the interview thinking on what to wear, how to behave, and most specially how/what to answer. On the day of the interview was the worst part.  It didn’t go well at all.  When i got this book I was laughing at myself comparing that experience to the recommendations provided in this book.  It could have helped me so much.  So I picked it up so that I can use it down the road when going after my dream job.”

Collins’ book will help you prepare for interviews and deliver what today’s employers are really looking for.”
