PreInterviewEmergencyChecklist

This guide is critical to your success in an interview. Simple as that.

It will take you by the hand and guide you in preparing for yourinterview, step-by-step.

Print it out and use it before any interview you attend.

It will separate you from every other applicant you're competing with.

Every job-seeker needs this before they attend an interview. But you willbe only one of a handful of people that has it.

Think of it like an emergency procedure. When trouble strikes, you lookfor your emergency procedures. Well, in this environment, big troublehas struck the job market.

But you can rest easy, because you know exactly what to do in suchtroubling times with your Pre-Interview Emergency Checklist. You canremain cool, calm and collected under pressure.

It's a way of ensuring that you've completed all of the critical stepsneeded to succeed. And based on my 20 years or so of experienceinterviewing people, Ive come up with 21 of them.

Sure, it contains some fundamental steps that some may take for grantedas part of their preparation for an interview.

But what you will find are 21criticalactions that MUST be doneBEFORE an interview. I can virtually guarantee every interviewee wouldnot even think of doing many of these.

And I'd say that you're most likely overlooking at least SIXof thesecritical actions as well in YOUR preparation.

And that could mean the difference between you being the title holder orhitting the canvas in the first round.

Read it and then work through it step by step. Don't miss or overlook astep, and please, no shortcuts. And you'll be perfectly primed for themain event with your Pre-Interview Emergency Checklist.
