Interview Speak is your ultimate guide to interview coaching that helps you ace job interviews by answering the questions behind the questions.

• Recognize and respond to different types of interview questions
Ever felt like you needed a translation guide for a job interview? Interview Speak is that book! From “what are your weaknesses” to “what salary are you looking for,” “why did you leave your last job” to “what questions do you have,” you’ll learn what employers are really looking for when they ask these questions and how to give the best answer for you.
Have you ever left an interview thinking “nailed it!” only to hear back a short rejection? What happened? Didn’t you say all the right things? Here’s the hard truth: probably not! Job recruiters, screeners, and interviewers speak their own language. If you want to know what they’re really asking, you need to learn interview speak!
Interview Speak translates the most common, important, and difficult interview questions into plain English and reveals how to answer them effectively and authentically. Experienced interview coaches and employment consultants Barbara Limmer and Laura Browne decode dozens of interview transcripts—including a few clueless responses that may seem all-too familiar. You’ll learn to appear confident and qualified as you turn your good answers into great ones.
What's inside:
• An insider’s perspective on the job interview
• Dozens of sample answers to common questions
• No canned replies—develop your own authentic responses
