I'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.

Fail 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.

A 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.

The right frame of mind. Didn’t have time to read the book, but the quick guides alone helped me prepare for possible interview questions that could arise. I am interviewing with 5 companies right now, and every phone interview has lead to an in person interview. I haven’t taken advantage of all the resources yet, but just skimming through the materials really helped me get in the right mindset.

In my 40's I'm in my 40's, the info provided in their document was good, but maybe more useful for a younger person without much experience. I used some of their ideas for two interviews, didn't get either job. The job i ended up getting, was due to none of these strategies, but due to the fact that I had previously worked with the other organization on another project and I was offered the job based on the work I had previously done for them, not so much my resume or interviewing skills. So, I don't know if their strategies really work, it did not work for me. I was better off being myself and not as over eager.
