“If You Don’t See Yourself As a Winner, Then You Cannot Perform As a Winner.” —Zig Ziglar
Claudia Samuels Newton taught thousands of employees and new graduates how to navigate through the sometimes daunting world of work in her first book: Career Wonders and Blunders: If I Knew Then, What I Know Now. Now she’ll tell employees how to prepare for and ace interviews to achieve the job of their dreams as they map out their career future. In Interview Wonders and Blunders, you will not only learn the dos and don’ts of interviewing, but you will also get into the minds of the people you will be interviewed by. Samuels Newton provides you with the preparation techniques and insider secrets told directly to her by hiring managers and shares their interview styles and approaches. She introduces you to curve-ball questions that you may least expect and tells you how to deal with them as well. Whether you are looking for a job outside of your company or pursuing an internal position, you will want to refer to this book each time you get invited to be interviewed. In the tradition of her first work, she provides real stories of wonders and blunders from both interviewees and hiring manager interviewers that will make you shake your head in amazement. Filled with Samuel Newton’s own experience and advice, and complete with tools, affirmations, and resources, the book covers every aspect of job interviewing that you need to know.
“This book is a vital resource if you are: in the midst of a job search, preparing for a career change, or pursuing a new role in the same organization. Having taught these same principles, I wish I had this book as a parting gift for every one of my students. This book is a great reference guide and preparation tool. The insight from hiring managers and the survival resources provide the reader with an amazing advantage in any competitive interview. Consider this book a challenge to all that you thought you knew about interview preparation and the interview process.” —J.
