If you have interviewed and not gotten the job, it’s easy to feel bad about yourself. However, in many cases, the problem isn’t you–it’s in how you prepare for the interview. Karen failed in 18 different interviews before she began preparing differently. With the right preparation, she did well in her next two interviews and she got the job offer.
I am happy to report that I have landed a job with the State of [name withheld], administrative support in the International Business Division.
Thank you for all of your support, encouragement, and for providing the tools necessary to put into the full-time search effort. I originally found Peggy’s videos searching on You Tube. A month or so prior, I had blown a second interview on an inside sales position…the deer in the headlights syndrome for some of my behavioral interview answers. …depressed about this for weeks, laying around in my PJ’s, dazed and in a real funk. I finally got out of the pity party and found your videos, ultimately leading me to sign up for Total Access, which has really made a difference, and so worth the investment.
I feel so much more confidence and felt hope, that there would be light at the end of the tunnel. After almost a year of unemployment, the rejection can wear on you. I had 20 interviews over 11 months, but only felt I did a great job on the last 2 of them, thanks to my study of your materials. Attitude is everything! My resume was okay (it was generating interviews), but I did tweak it with more keywords based on your suggestions.
What really helped, was studying my answers to questions and practice. It’s really amazing–you know yourself, but putting it into words when you’re nervous and so much is on the line, is really difficult. It was nice to hear you say that I wasn’t the only one that was having this difficulty.
Thank you again for all you do and sharing your knowledge. I will spread the word and share my good fortune of discovering you.
Best regards,
Karen P.
If you aren’t doing as well as you’d like in your job interviews, I encourage you to do something different:
- watch my YouTube videos
- check out my Behavioral Interview podcast
- practice answers to interview questions
- prepare a 30-60-90-Day Plan
- join us in our Total Access Coaching Club
Best of luck!
