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.

CAGreat resource to build your interview skills When I first checked out the information I was a bit skeptical, but I used their techniques in a phone interview I had with a big company. During the interview the interviewer sounded thrown off with my answers to questions like what are your salary expectations and so forth. In the end I was passed to the last stage in the interview process which will take place next week. You can bet your good money that I'll be using their techniques to secure the position!

GBThe 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.

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!!

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.
