Acknowledgments
The Essential Series books wouldn’t have been possible without the support of my friends and family. Many hands helped with proofreading, editing and beta reading to make this book happen. I had a vision and without all these special people, I couldn’t have made it come to pass.
I thank you all.
Introduction
The Essential Series is about getting back to the basics. Each book contains information on this subject and only this subject. Why? Because our lives are complicated and full. We don’t have time to sort through multiple chapters and hundreds of pages to find the necessary information. Our world has become one of instant gratification. In a few clicks, we expect to have the information at our fingertips.
For that reason, this book has been written in an easily accessible style so it’s fast to read and easy to follow.
Career Essentials: The Interview will teach you everything you need to know to interview successfully. It’s designed to help you understand the different kinds and styles of interviews and the techniques interviewers might use. The early chapters cover essential preparation for your interview and the science of first impressions before moving into the main section: interview questions.
Interview questions can be broken down into five types: general, focused, difficult, illegal, and open ended. It’s important to understand what can be asked, what can’t be, and how to have answers for all of them. We often feel helpless in an interview, afraid that the interviewer is in charge of our future. That’s not true. You are there to be assessed for a position and to assess the company as a viable option for your own future.
People who succeed at interviews have taken the time to prepare their answers to the many potential questions listed in this book. Having the questions available to ponder is valuable. Having effective answers and learning to deliver them in a confident manner is…priceless.
Being able to interview confidently will not only help you give the professional impression you’re hoping to achieve, but will also allow you to relax, settle into the interview naturally, and allow you to develop that all important rapport with the interviewer.
Preparation is key. A successful interview depends on your ability to organize a vast amount of information about you and your life prior to that meeting. I can’t guarantee that you will get the job, but if you follow along in this book and prepare for the interview beforehand, you’ll be a viable candidate for the position.
The skills and techniques you will learn here will stay with you throughout your life. They will improve your chances as future opportunities present themselves, helping you to enjoy a rewarding career.
Good Luck!

Types of Interviews
Going through a job interview is not at the top of anyone’s wish list. It can be nerve wracking to the point of being downright unpleasant.
There are two perspectives to a job interview. The first is from the interviewer’s point of view. Are you the right person for the job? Do you have the skills, qualifications, and personality to fit in with the other employees? Do you have the proof to back up what you say you can do?
The second perspective in the interview is your point of view as the job candidate. This is your opportunity to see if you would like to do this job every day. Does the company feel like a good personal fit? Is the company culture comfortable? Is the company heading in a direction you agree with? Can you see your future unfolding with them? Will you be properly compensated for what you can bring to the job?
Interviews are stressful and time consuming for everyone. However, they offer flexibility in assessing and selecting candidates for many types of positions. Interviews will generate data that can be analyzed afterward to see which candidate is best for the job. Even though there are many tools available in today’s market to discern the most—qualified candidates, interviews are still required to find the ‘best’ fit.
