In this short manual Benjamin Francesco will teach you how to confidently tackle your dream job. Much of the social conventions of job interviews are NOT of common knowledge. If you have experience and skills in a given field, but you know nothing about the particularities of the hiring process, unfortunately, the odds are you won’t be employed. Many competent, hardworking individuals spend years questioning what happened to their promising careers, asking why nobody gave them a real chance of showing their potential. Meanwhile, they see less prepared colleagues moving forward on the path to success. Luck is hardly the one to blame: they were equipped to properly assess what the companies needed, and they knew appearances and social interactions training are the most important prerequisites to make a strong first impression.Benjamin Francesco knows this, and he doesn’t hold any tricks back: the interviewers are trained to measure the job applicants to their apparent and deeper capabilities, and it is your job to influence their decisions. It is not about tricking them into hiring you to do something you are not capable of doing, and this manual does well at advising you to follow a career path that matches your skills.Overall, if you are committed to the tips available in this book, you are halfway to achieving your goals.
