Proven Resumes Series
(with the Interviewing Booklet)

The interviewing booklet teaches you how to understand and anticipate each phase of the interviewing cycle, how to analyze each employer's needs and position yourself as a top candidate. Many job seekers are not adept at verbally marketing themselves or their skills at the highest level during interviews and this booklet is dynamite in helping you ace each interview!  If you've gotten an interview(s) at the salary level you'd like ... then this booklet MAY BE all you need.  HOWEVER, if the interviews you're landing are not at the salary level you want, you are landing only a few interviews, or you are getting into the 3rd interview but not getting hired  ... then I recommend you STEP BACK AND TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT YOUR RESUME!  

You may need to improve your interviewing skills but more importantly you may be shooting yourself in the foot with your resume and cover letters.  They may be just strong enough to land you interviews but weak enough to cause problems during the interview.  If your resume brings out your weaknesses during an interview it can damage your image  beyond repair and
most job seekers do not have the confidence or verbal marketing skills to bring their interview and image back on track!   If this is happening, and I've dealt with this issue thousands of times, then I really do recommend that you purchase the ENTIRE Proven Resumes series and take a hard look at your resume.  Remember the resume is what guides an interviewer in asking you questions and if it brings up negatives or markets you weakly then your resume may indeed be causing you many problems.

Interviewing Booklet Success Stories
I used your interviewing booklet to the fullest. I had a total of 7 interviews with 3 different companies and received an offer from all three. I had come a long ways considering I was 0 for 5 in interviews before using your booklet. The difference was I knew where the employers were going with their questions and the skills they were looking for as a result of using your interviewing booklet. I wish you could have seen me, I was bursting with enthusiasm and confidence. What a difference being prepared makes. The job I landed is with a company ranked the "11th Best Company in America to Work For" by Fortune Magazine. I and the other people who were hired ended up competing against a total of 2,300 applicants! Wow what odds! Thanks again! Mark Fredericks, Investment Representative

Regina's interviewing booklet is the best there is. It helps job seekers thoroughly prepare for their interviews.

Thoroughly Preparing For Interviews --- Know and Understand the 3 Phases of the Interviewing Cycle
Most people fail at interviews because they do not understand that interviews usually follow a predictable, 3-phase cycle. The heart of this booklet, takes you step by step through each phase so that you can effectively anticipate and prepare for each part of the interview.

Phase I: Introductions & First Impressions
Many people discount this introductory phase of the interview yet employers begin assessing your communication style, confidence level, appearance, poise and demeanor as soon as you step in the door. This section provides tips and pointers on how to make a great first impression which paves the way for interview success.

Phase II: The Core of the Interview
The core of the interview is generally spent with the employer asking you many questions to judge your skills and experience. To ace each interview it's important that you correctly anticipate the questions you'll be asked and to develop answers which sell you in the best light. This section guides you step by step in identifying questions employers will ask when reviewing your resume; additional questions they'll ask to uncover your weaknesses; questions they'll ask to assess your personality, values and coping style; questions they'll ask about your work history in order to uncover problem areas; questions they'll ask about your education and extracurricular activities, references, and your salary history; and questions they'll ask to determine if you can contribute to the employer's bottom line. As employers work through the core of the interview they'll use their questions as a means to gather data and determine if you are worth the salary you want and what they are offering. This portion of the interview is where people get in the most trouble. By not effectively anticipating questions and not understanding where employers are going--many applicants provide information that damages their image and presents them as a high hiring risk. The thrust of this section is to teach you how to analyze the requirements for any job--not just memorize canned interview answers. You'll learn how to create specific, targeted answers that market you best for each particular job. Since most applicants never do this, and aren't this skilled at interviewing, you'll impress employers and move to the top level of job candidates. In addition to employers asking you many questions--you also want to develop a strong list of questions that you can ask which allow you to introduce your top skills and actively market them during interviews. In this way you can exert control over your interviews and keep them on track--particularly when faced with an unskilled interviewer. So you'll also be guided in identifying your top skills and then crafting questions which will allow you to market them!

Phase II: Interview Closure
This section discusses how important it is to close your interviews strongly and probe to find out where you stand, when next interviews will be conducted, and when you should follow-up.

Post Interview: Follow-Up and Thank You Letters
Essential to job search success is following up after an interview. This section provides success stories of job seekers who nailed down the job offer by sending thank you letters and following-up. Many people make the mistake of sending out thank you letters that could have been written by anyone. Here you'll analyze effective thank you letters, learn how to write letters that continue to sell you, remind the employer of your top skills, and potentially introduce additional skills that can help you stand out as the top candidate! You'll continue to learn how to use great design and content to create a thank you letter that gets read and contributes to your being hired!
