GBFail proof formula! Do the work and you will succeed Although I’ve been in the corporate world and on the hiring side of the table I haven’t actively interviewing in over 8 years. If you follow the formula you can not fail! The guide took alll the guess work and anxiety out of the process for me. I was prepared for every type of question and felt confident like never before.

GBI'm so disappointed with what I… I'm so disappointed with what I received! I ordered the Interview Master Guide to prepare for an upcoming interview and the content is so common sense (show up 15 minutes early, dress up more than you usually would, don't drink alcohol beforehand, etc). Total waste of money as a person who has been through a challenging interview process before.

GBHighly Recommended When I was moving across the country, I applied to many jobs and interviewed at 4 companies in two days. The Interview Guys helped me prepare for my interviews which all popped up in a short amount of time. I was offered a job for two out of the four, and a second interview for one. Upon accepting my job, I was told that they loved that I was calm under the pressure and I believe that was due to being so prepared for anything they could throw at me in the interview process.

AUA bit too casual for a working professional The Master Guide is 239 pages and could probably be condensed to 50 pages if they cut out all the casual nonsense writing, e.g. having conversations within the guide assuming what the reader is thinking and responding to those assumed thoughts, none of which are a serious conversation. For example - they suggest treating an interview like a date and then continue for three paragraphs about how and why you don't need to take flowers and chocolates with you.... as if there was someone who would legitimately jump to that conclusion. Suggesting role play and talking for half a page about how it's not Dungeons and Dragons. There's a lot of fluff in there, and a lot of common sense or unnecessary things like what to eat in the weeks leading to your interview, go get a haircut, iron your shirt, don't be drunk etc. I'm unsure if it is worth the money but it can't hurt your chances I guess. If you're strapped for cash though I wouldn't bother. There were a handful of notes I made from the 239 pages that were useful tips. The rest is just white noise, and is written like a Young Adult novel, feels like the audience is kids in their early teens, not professional people trying to secure a job. Sure they provide detailed examples of questions and answers but it's nothing more than what I've researched and found online elsewhere for free. I'm all for making it an engaging read, but maybe tone it down several notches.

GBSuccess twice!! Excellent guide to interviews. I purchased the guides 4 years ago. I had one interview and was offered the job. I have used the updated guide again, interviewed today and offered the job this evening. It really helped me, especially the mantra I had in my head ‘it’s not about you it’s about them’! I would highly recommend The Interview Guys if like me you struggle at interviews.
