"Excellent book with very useful advice"
I loaned my copy to two friends going to interviews for big jobs.
Both of them raved about how this book put them in to a fame of mind that made them very comfortable going into and during their actual interviews. It makes you think about questions and areas of your past work expereinces that you should and should not talk about and how to talk about them. Great buy.


"Effective, simple and to the point"
The author carefully gives you the information to help you prepare for your next interview, even if the employer is not conducting a competency based interview. I have had three interviews in the last two weeks and two of three employers used competency based interviewing techniques. I was fully prepared and unsurprised. The book is also simple to read and provides you with summaries that help bring it all together. Additionally, the book gets to the point. I was examining my competencies in the first chapter. The book is also helpful in that it provides case studies that help improve your responses.

"Senior Career Consultant, Right Management, Milwalukee"
This book is excellent both for job-seekers and recruiters. I have used
it extensively with my executive and professional candidates, and all have
felt much better prepared for interviews because of it. It is an excellent resource, particularly for experienced individuals.

"The new interveiw style."
Competency-Based Interviews, who would have thought that the world of interviewing had changed so much and that no one had told me or the career services counselors at my school. Well for those how don't know, it has. I should know, I had been looking for a job and going to interviews for sometime before I found Ms. Kessler's book and began employing her tactics in my interviews.

Ms. Kessler's book casts a new light on the interviewing process. It provided insights that I had not seen in any of the materials I looked at previously. It provides the tools and the guidance to effectively approach and answer those difficult questions we all face in an interview. Ms. Kessler takes the reader through the entire process from the start of the interview to how you can best maximize your return when you get the offer for the perfect job. This book also provides the reader with those little known tips and nuances that help turn a good interview into a great one.

I would recommend this book to anyone that is preparing for an interview. Whether you are a recent graduate or an experienced professional, the insights to be gleamed are worth your time.

"Invaluable Resource for Interviewees AND Interviewers"
Ms. Kessler's book is so clear and readable that in just two days it prepared me for three critical interviews. Most people interview only every several years, and this book helps knock off the rust quickly and completely! Now I know I can be ready whenever opportunity knocks--a good feeling.

This book may be even more valuable for interviewers than interviewees. Using the techniques Ms. Kessler so clearly explains will yield you much more and much better information about the suitability for the job of every person you interview!

What our customer's say!

"A must for anyone trying to figure out what they're doing wrong at interviews", As a Columbia MBA student, I found Kessler's book really helpful. I've found interviewing at business school very difficult because I'm surrounded by amazingly well-qualified competition! Interviews are one of my weakest points and I've read a bunch of interview guides in the hopes of finding out what I'm doing wrong. Until this book, I found these guides kind of useless and a waste of money (e.g. the Vault Guide to Finance Interviews). But this book was great. It has changed the way I view interviews and has made interviews considerably less scary. While other books talk about what and what not to say, she focuses more on the approach to your answers. I found this more applicable and practical.

Instead of focusing on you, Kessler focuses on the interviewer. She gives the interviewer's perspective and examples of what the interviewer might have in front of him or her during the interview. This gave me a better idea of what interviewers are looking for and how I should structure my answers. Building answers around competencies has made my answers more strong and concise.

Kessler also has a section of interview examples and her critiques of the candidate's answers. I recognized a bunch of mistakes I made when I was interviewing for jobs after college. I wish I had this book back then! I'm sure it would have opened a lot more windows of opportunity (or at least ended the job search sooner).

These kinds of books tend to stress me out. Kessler's writing is clear and the pacing was just right for someone like me. It was easy to absorb the main points and see how I could apply them to myself. I still got a panic-y feel in my stomach, but much less than I usually get. The summary tables at the end of each chapter were great because they helped me make sure I got what I was supposed to get out of each chapter.

I highly recommend this book. It's helped me get a better idea of why I haven't received offers for jobs I know I was well qualified for. Now instead of just being frustrated about it, I have a way to deal with it!

"The only interview book that makes sense", All the other books I tried were nothing like the interviews I was actually having. Instead of having to memorize rote answers, this book helps you to understand what the interviewer is looking for and why. It is not only helping me prepare for interviews; it is helping me understand how I can improve my on-the-job skills so that I am even more appealing in the future for jobs or promotions.

"Competency-Based Interviews", I am out on the job market after a 25 year career at GM. While I interviewed and hired employees, there is nothing quite the same as your own job interview. This book is a must for anyone wanting to brush up on their interviewing skills.

"A Must for Targeted Selection/Compentecy-Based Interviews", This book is a must if you have a targeted selection or competency-based interview in the near future or if you are planning to change jobs in the near future. In fact, even if you don't plan on searching for a new job within a year, I still recommend this book due to the planning advice it gives.

This is by far the best all-in-one book for targeted selection or competency-based interviews. Ms. Kessler is an excellent author and she breaks down the process on how to prepare, how to perform during the interview, and how to follow up after the interview.


"Great for landing interviews", After re-writing my resume using the competency format, the interviews started pouring in! Good examples and guidelines. Have organized all my competencies and interviews are much easier.

Also recommend the full book on writing interviews.
