GBIn 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.

IDThey stole my money They stole my money. I paid for the interview guide but never received the document. I sent email to their support email but received no reply. I never received login information as well. Tried to login using my email using "forgot my password", but didnt work as well, since the forgot my password page is not working. Buyer beware!!

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.

DEGood overall read on how to get a job Good overall read on how to get a job from scratch. I really liked the techniques used in the interview process (3 best stories, good qualities, and multiplier). This helped me to organise myself before an interview, by really showing what is the most important thing to remember for the interview. Thank you!
