The face-to-face interview -- the impression you make, what you say and how you say it -- is the most critical part of the job search process. In addition, people who interview successfully are hired and/or promoted faster. They also enjoy greater self-esteem.
While interview success is often left to chance, the good news is that interviewing is a learnable skill. In just one or two meetings, you can gain a quick and comprehensive understanding of the basic principles necessary to succeed.
