candidate. It will be of use and relevance whether you are going for a senior
director role or are a first time job seeker.
The thing I particularly liked about “10 key steps to Ace that interview “ is that it focuses on
what I consider the most important aspects of the interview process – planning
and preparation. Whilst it may seem obvious, in my 15+ years of experience it is
the most common area where applicants fail. Rather than “winging-it” there are a
number of valuable strategies Annemarie has shared.

Apologies for not replying sooner, things have
been hectic!
Since we last spoke, I’ve had a total of 3 interviews after submitting
to four different job positions in the ACT. Of the 3 interviews one is
now in the advanced stages (Solutions Architect with [name omitted for
privacy]), I have the third and final interview tomorrow.
The resume looks
absolutely fantastic, it exceeds my expectations. However what I
found of significant value was the
interview
coaching and your book - 10 key steps to Ace that Interview!.
I have read this carefully and used various of you questions at the
appropriate points including the do’s and don’ts. I have learned a lot
from this in a very short period. Again, I personally found this of
great value!

10 key steps to Ace that Interview
 |
ATTENTION:
graduate,
professional, return-to-work, mature age, migrant and senior level job
seekers
Do you ever
"trip over your
own tongue", become "tongue-tied", or feel you're just not
delivering your best performance during a job interview?
Imagine...if you could
instantly:
 |
conquer the top 10
mistakes that 9 out of 10 job seekers unknowingly stumble
on; |
|
 |
answer each question
easily and effortlessly; and |
|
 |
maintain a high standard of professionalism throughout
the interview to secure that edge over your
competitors; |
|
| |
|
|
|
What would that mean to
you? |
|
|
|
Here's a quick quiz that could make a dramatic impact on how successful your next interview will be.
From the desk of
Annemarie Cross
Dear Job Seeker,
I am continually surprised as to why countless highly skilled and well
qualified candidates still experience interview setback and elimination
even when they are the most qualified and best suited person for the role.
Are you one of the thousands who experience interview knock backs
and struggle with 'why' you fail to reach second interview stage,
and eventual job offer?
Hi, my name is Annemarie Cross,
and as a Certified Employment Interview Professional & Career Coach I have worked with
hundreds of clients over the last 17 years supporting them in overcoming
the 10 common pitfalls that cause so many candidates to fail during the
interview process.
The
complex dynamics of employment interviewing are ever-changing with each
position we apply for; each company we approach; and with each interviewer,
who bring their own communication styles, mannerisms, and beliefs to the
meeting.
All of these situations can affect the rapport-building process,
relevant material to discuss, and the flow and understanding of information
between you and the interviewer.
Imagine
if you could strengthen and enhance, or revolutionise your interview
techniques, enabling you to deliver a dynamic and unforgettable performance.

I just wanted to write to you and let you know how great I found the
book "10 key steps to Ace the Interview" and the workbook that was
included.
On Friday, I had an interview and I used your strategies and for the
first time, I went extremely well. I do not know yet if I have been
successful, but I said and did all the right things.
It has been about 14 months (have been temping in the meantime), going
to endless interviews and I have had some bad dealings with agencies
except for this last role - everything seemed to flow in perfect
harmony!!
I especially took notice of your hint about what to do at the end of the
interview. It was more or less like closing a deal in sales
terms and I think the interviewers were impressed by that.
Thank you once again for your fantastic advice and
interview strategies. I wish I had a
copy 14 months ago.

I have read many similar books over my career to date, some good and some
not to good, and I would have to say that Annemarie’s book - 10 key
steps to Ace that Interview is one of the better ones!
Annemarie successfully covers a range of relevant topics which gives
the reader an understanding of the process, what the interviewer is seeking,
how to respond to the different interview types, build confidence and
effectively communicate.
From my experience, if those attending interviews were to implement only
a few of her suggestions they would increase their chances of doing well at
the interview stage.
I would certainly recommend her book to any of my career coaching clients
or those recruitment candidates who seek feedback / assistance with
their interview techniques.

"A clear and useful guide to interviewing for that perfect
job...without the fluff and hype of many of these guides."
As a former career coach, I would highly recommend this book to my
clients who are searching for a clear and useful guide to interviewing
for that perfect job.
Annemarie is able to condense years of knowledge into a crystal clear
manual for the job-seeker. She gets to the point without the fluff
and hype of many of these guides, and is able to steer the
reader through the process of the most intimidating aspect of the job
search--interviewing. This guide will help both the recent
graduate and the more experienced job seeker, by clarifying how to
prepare and what to expect.
