Worried about your job?
Is your career in transition?
Even though the economy is beginning to stabilize, we're in for a protracted period of sluggish growth...a jobless recovery. Expect the national unemployment rate to remain high throughout 2010 - the "new normal." Are you going to ride through unscathed?
Whether you're looking for work right now or worried you might be soon...whether you're thinking about making a change or change has been thrust upon you...wouldn't you like to know what you can do to give yourself a professional advantage?
Don't let uncertainty paralyze you; there are many things over which you have control. Here's your opportunity to learn what you can do to make sure you're as marketable as possible.
The Interview Edge is a comprehensive guide that shows you how to separate yourself from the competition
Some of the best professional advice you'll ever receive can come from a good executive recruiter...someone who knows what candidates need to do to succeed. What works, what doesn't, potential pitfalls and how to handle them, mistakes to avoid - imagine having access to hundreds of tips and strategies and being able to apply them to your situation. Now you can.
"Rebecca is an exceptional recruiter. Her years of experience are captured on these pages. Any job seeker will literally profit from taking the time to learn its contents."

Why You Should Read This Book
Three reasons:
- You want to take charge of your career.
- You're serious about making sure you're the best possible candidate you can be...and you know it's up to you to make it happen.
- You've got nothing to lose. Your purchase comes with a money-back guarantee.
Change is constant. The roller coaster we've been riding the past two years has been a rude reminder of that fact. Are you ready for what's coming next?
For roughly the cost of a few lunches at the local deli, you'll have access to tools that can translate to literally hundreds of thousands of dollars in salary and benefits over the years. You won't have to wait to get it, either, because it'll be delivered to you instantly in downloadable format. Of course, you must be serious enough about your career to implement these strategies…but if you do, you will see results.
Don't you owe that to yourself?
A Business Investment that will Pay Dividends
Improving your performance as a candidate can pay off handsomely. You'll increase your odds of winning the job offer, and you'll create more opportunities for yourself. More options = more freedom.
You're still going to have to roll up your sleeves and commit to putting these strategies into action. But think how much more effective the fruits of your labor will be when you're holding the blueprint for success in your hands.
Will These Strategies Work?
The candidates I've placed over the years are the proof you need; bet on my track record. This book contains the same tips and strategies that helped scores of people land great jobs. My clients have ranged from startups to Fortune 500 corporations - including Time Warner, Bloomberg Media, Ericsson Innovations, and Starz Entertainment.
The Interview Edge is the tool kit you need to give yourself a crucial professional advantage. The implementation is up to you. If you're willing to invest the time to properly manage your career, though, you'll reap rewards. Count on it. (You'll be receiving the latest version, updated in January 2010 to reflect the current employment situation.)

- If you don't really want the job, write a lousy one - or skip this step altogether. Otherwise, you'd better make it good. Learn how to crate a compelling summary.

What people are saying...
The process of recruiting isn't necessarily a difficult one. Take a job order from the client, find a candidate, introduce the two. But the differences between being a recruiter and being a good recruiter are worlds apart. A recruiter may fill a position for a client. A good recruiter will educate a client on how to fill a role, and educate a candidate on how to land that job. Rebecca is an exceptional recruiter. She knows how to manage her clients and her candidates - and how to bring the two together to make a hire. In order to do this, you must have an intimate knowledge of the interview process. Rebecca has just that; her years of experience are captured on these pages. If you're looking to navigate the waters of the interview process, this is the soundest ship in the water. Rebecca's experience assisting candidates through this very intricate process is illustrated in this book in such a way that any job seeker will literally profit from taking the time to learn its contents.

You could find a lot of this type of information elsewhere – if you’re willing to devote the time and effort to sift through dozens of websites (or more) and masses of books. And still you’d have to wonder how credible the sources are. Just one example: a site where the writer suggests the fact that he is habitually looking for work somehow qualifies him as an “expert” on the subject. No thanks. The Interview Edge is solid material coming straight from a recruiter, and it’s all there in one book.

Great advice - and it couldn't have come at a better time. I was laid off and am interviewing tomorrow so will be able to put some of these strategies into action right away. Thanks!

I'm not quite finished reading yet but wanted to write and let you know how much I appreciate this. Honestly, I didn't expect so much useful information. I'm not working with a recruiter on my search, but feel now as though I have some great coaching behind me that's going to help me find a new job more quickly. I didn't expect to be pounding the pavement again so soon but my company ran into financial trouble and was sold. I'm seeing that there are lots of things I can do to improve my chances, starting with changes to my resume. I feel like the odds are going to be much more in my favor.

This should be required reading for anyone who is serious about their career. Not only does it suggest ways to improve how you're marketing yourself during the job search, getting you "inside the head" of the hiring company, and helping you to prepare for all sorts of interview situations, but it steps back and looks at the big picture of how to make sure to keep yourself marketable on an ongoing basis.

The Interview Edge provides a very practical guide to the career search. It presents specific, actionable recommendations for each step in a search. The book also covers areas that most people do not consider, but should, when engaged in a career search.

I have always hated the whole process of searching for a job. Now that I've read this, I'm realizing maybe the reason it's been so uncomfortable for me has been because I've never really had a solid grasp of what I needed to do to be a strong candidate. It's great to know that there are many, many things within my control that can contribute to a positive outcome.

Not filled with non-specific advice like "act confident" - instead, there are a huge number of easily implemented tips that, added together, make a big difference. It's sort of like playing "small ball" to win the championship.
