Competency-Based
interviews: Master the Tough New Interview Style
and Give Them The Answers That Will Win You A Job
(Paperback)
by Robin Kessler
Competency-Based Interviews offers you a new and
more effective way to handle the tough new interviews so that
you will emphasize the knowledge, skills and abilities that
you have and that employers need. Most sophisticated U.S. and
international employers are using competency-based systems to
recruit, interview and select employees. Corporations such as
American Express, Anheuser Busch, 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 organization.
- Get a great first job or internship.
- Be chosen for that critical promotion in your current
organization.
- Take control of your career path.
- Increase your salary.
- Get more interesting assignments and more interesting
work
Most interviewees don't know how to be successful when they
are being interviewed by an organization looking for key
competencies. Few candidates answer questions so they
demonstrate their own critical competencies. Competency-Based
Interviews will teach you what you need to master this
tough new interview style and give the interviewers the
answers that will win you the job.

You put hours and hours of hard work into your job search

job hunting. Nothing is more discouraging than sending one
resumé after another into the job-hunting void. Eventually,

his career, taking note of the characteristics that have led
to success as well as failure. In The Unwritten Rules of
the Highly Effective Job Search, he supplies key
information on how professional job search consultants
structure the job search project so you can apply the same
winning strategies to your own search. You'll also be privy to
inside information on how decision makers operate, enabling
you to get the inside track on job openings before they are
announced.
This insider's guide covers every phase of the job search,
leading you step by step through the process of creating a
clear-cut plan-essential to every job search. Using the
Pierson Method, you'll learn how to
- Develop a Target List (the key ingredient to every job
search)
- Measure your progress
- Create a “core message” about yourself that decision
makers won't forget
- Present yourself in the best possible light to
prospective employers
Using these strategies, Orville Pierson and LHH have helped
600,000 people land great new jobs. Employ the Pierson Method
in your hunt for employment and you'll soon be doing what you
love in the company that's right for you.
