Advanced Career Technologies Survey: Only 1 in 10 Job Seekers at $50,000+ Interview Effectively

New York, NY — "Too many people take interviewing for granted," contends Robert J. Gerberg, best selling author, in his latest book, The Professional Job Changing System. "They never stop to analyze the process from an employer's viewpoint, and don't fully appreciate that other good candidates are under consideration. Nine of every 10 job seekers need 17 or more telephone or face-to-face interviews to close a single offer."

"Worse yet, many come away with no offers at all. The sad part of it is, it's not very difficult to learn and use some time-tested approaches that would improve their chances dramatically. The advice in this book is based on tens of thousands of real-world searches over several years, and the basic principles for success in interviewing haven't changed. I share with readers six proven rules, and they are easy to implement. Two of the basics are learning how to tell memorable stories, and how to surface and handle an interviewer's concerns diplomatically, building rapport in the process."

"The book also lists almost 60 questions people need to be ready for, and gives examples of how to smoothly handle a number of them. Readers will also learn how to adjust their delivery and behavior to the interviewer's personality style. Perhaps most important of all, they'll learn them six simple methods for building positive personal chemistry."

"There are also about 20 other basic tips job seekers will find helpful. The book, which people can get now in hard cover at bookstores nationwide, enables them to prepare thoroughly in a short time, and this really builds people's confidence. But it's not just about interviewing. It covers everything from how to write superior resumes and letters and how to access both the published and unpublished markets, to how you can get exposure to 85% of the jobs right for you, not the standard 3%. It has insights and advice you won't find anywhere else. You don't want to be in today's job market without it."
