Resumen del Editor

Read by the author.

"For anyone wanting to elevate their interview skills, this superb book does the job!” —STEPHEN M. R. COVEY, New York Times bestselling author of The Speed of Trust

Go into your next job interview with confidence, ready to knock any question they throw at you out of the park!

The key to landing that dream job or big promotion often comes down to how you perform in the job interview. After bombing some interviews early in his career, Sam Owens vowed that would never happen to him again and began work on a system to ensure he was ready for even the most oddball questions in future interviews. The system he developed proved so successful, Sam built a career coaching business around teaching it to others and has now coached thousands of people on how to prepare for interviews.

In I Hate Job Interviews, Sam shares his proven methodology and provides simple frameworks and demonstrations on how to answer any type of job interview question. Using this proven system, job candidates will gain confidence in answering introductory, behavioral, hypothetical, opinion, personal, think-on-your-feet, salary, and self-awareness questions. You will learn:

• How to craft “power" examples to show how your skills align perfectly with the job you are applying for.
• To conduct practice interviews so you are ready when the big day arrives.
• To make a big first impression with that first question.
• To tell compelling stories that clearly demonstrate your abilities.
• Simple strategies and frameworks to nail hypothetical and scenario questions.
• Salary negotiation skills to maximize your job offer.

The worksheet and checklist can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Recommend for all want to succeed in job interview

The author truly understands what it is like of job search experience. He went through the same painful journey in the internship job search. I appreciate how Sam Owens makes arguments for dedicating time, specifically ten hours, to prepare for job interviews, and he provides frameworks that simplify the preparation process. I've listened to the audio three to four times, and I wish I had this book earlier!

One hour determines ten years

I had never thought about how a one hour interview can make or break your working life for the next ten or more years. Opportunities of a lifetime or missed opportunities hinge on a few simple questions you need to answer successfully. Sam Owens makes compelling arguments for putting in the time (ten hours) to prepare for job interviews and gives you the frameworks to make preparation simple. I have already recommended this book to my family and friends. Get that job you want!

Fantastic Book!

I an HR professional with 20 years experience and this is one of the best books on Interviewing skills. I will highly recommend this book.

Fresh Ideas, not the ordinary script

Sam brings fresh new ideas and perspectives, avoiding the usual interview tips. His guidance and pace are very interesting.

Help you get hired at Google

I failed my first interview at Google. I was determined to scour the web and talk to all my business mentors to figure out how I could interview better.

But none of this research compared to when I learned of Sam and his principles of interviewing. Sam condenses multiple careers'worth of interviewing expertise into a simple, fun and easy to listen to audio book.

One year later I interviewed and passed, largely due to Sam's principles of interviewing

Practical advice that every job seeker should know

Easy listen, narration is interesting. Good examples. Good balance of humor, solid examples, and meaningful advice. Your chances of landing the job can only improve after this book.

The PDF insert does not accompany this book as it says in the title

The book is good, but I was looking forward to the PDF insert which is not available

The must-have interview prep book!

I wish I had this book 20 years ago! Such a phenomenal book. I can’t say enough about how valuable this book is.

Great frameworks. Interesting stories. And actual examples that allow you to listen to how these principles get applied.

Every college/university student that’s interested in getting a job after graduation should buy this book upon getting accepted. I’m buying this book for my daughter that’s just starting college.

I’d also recommend this book for anyone else going through a job search/upgrade process.
