If you’d rather fight off an alien invasion than be grilled in an interview,
take heart — you’ve come to the right guidebook. With the help of dozens
of interviewing authorities, I make your interviewing challenge easy, successful, and even fun (steal a peek at the last chapter).
I share with you lots of new things in this fourth edition of Job Interviews For
Dummies, ranging from the cosmic shift sparked by the rise of social media
that changes what privacy means, to increasingly popular video interviewing
that changes how communication occurs.
What hasn’t changed is the fundamental role in the employment process
played by job interviews — those crucial meetings that seal the deal on who
gets hired and who gets left on the outside looking in.
Job interviews are a slice of performance art.They’re staged theatrical sketches
rather than X-rays of life histories. That’s why theater and drama are the
themes of this book, and I hope you have some enjoyable moments with the
show-biz motif.
So on with the show! With the help of this guidebook, you, too, can be a
ShowStopper.
