Publisher's Synopsis
Are you looking for the job of your dreams? For the career that will make you happy and fulfilled for the remainder of your working life? Most people in this position dedicate most of their time and efforts into the job search itself, seeking out positions that may or may not align with their personal goals. The first step in finding happiness in a career is understanding what is most important to you, and that is the beginning of the journey "Seek and Employ" will start you on. But even the most diligent and well thought out job search can fail epically if you are not prepared for the interview stage. This often nerve racking experience is your chance to showcase why you are the right person for the job and win the favor of the hiring manager to your cause above all the other candidates in the running. There are so many little missteps that can be made unconsciously during the course of an interview - with myself as a hiring manager who has conducted countless interviews and witnessed firsthand - that can sink your chances of advancing. My goal is to make sure that my readers are aware of the preparation that should go into this process to help avoid making a mistake that could cost you that dream job. Furthermore, it is important to know that the process is not complete after you walk out of that interview, no matter how well you do. Perseverance and tactful follow-up are two keys that can help differentiate you from all the other names and faces passing through the hiring manager's office. The content herein has been acquired over twenty years of being interviewed and conducting interviews, making mistakes and learning from them. I hope to save you from making many of them yourself and giving you a head start on the future you deserve.
