The book is for job seekers to help them succeed in their very next interview. It is called The Empowered Candidate: The Power You Have to Land the Job You Deserve. The Empowered Candidate taps into my first-hand experience with thousands of candidates, the cognitive sciences and even persuasion tactics used by Greek philosophers. It provides tactical interview advice such as top things every employer wants to know, questions a candidate should never ask, and the hidden power of resumes. Job seekers will also learn to structure answers that build credibility, effectively use logic and storytelling, overcome self-doubt, improve body language, find the best time of day to interview, and much more. While getting a foot in the door has shifted from traditional resume drops toward social media and networking strategies, actually landing a job and getting a seat at the table (or at least in a cubicle) still hinges on one critical piece of the hiring process-the interview. This book empowers candidates with the knowledge and practices they need to land the job they deserve.
