Random House Business Books Winning at Interview: A New Way to Succeed
We have all been called for an interview at some point in our lives. We have all come away either elated or disappointed at our performance, and afterwards we have all been dumbfounded when that polite rejection letter drops through the letterbox. <I>What did I do wrong?</I> is that familiar question that haunts us at the dead of night. <p> Having told us <I>How to Write a Winning CV</I> in his previous book, and thus helped us get our foot in the door, Alan Jones now tells us in <I>Winning at Interview</I> that the first thing we require is a change of attitude. He argues that if we treated job hunting like a game, we would notice that the eventual winner is not necessarily the best person for the job. Indeed, Jones says, the best person for the job is often eliminated in the first half ... [T]he winner of the game will always be <I>the player who has played the game the best</I>. Knowing how to play the game is the secret of success. <p> In 13 short chapters, Jones takes us through the interview process, from preparation to post-interview. Jones illustrates, among other things, how an ill-thought-out reply to a seemingly innocuous question like How was your journey? can destroy your chances of getting that much sought-after job. <p> <I>Winning at Interview</I> is a concise, easy-to-read, well-structured book, which shows us that, at the end of the day, all we need is the ability to persuade others to buy what we have to sell. This book and its predecessor succeed in showing us how. --<I>Aruna Vasudevan</I>

Random House Business Books How to Write a Winning CV: A New Way to Succeed
Alan Jones' <I>How to Write a Winning CV</I> is one of hundreds of books providing advice on this subject. What makes it different, you may ask? Well... the difference lies in its perspective. This book is not just about constructing the perfect tool with which to promote your skills and expertise, but also and more importantly perhaps, it's about attitude. You are the product, says Jones, your CV is the packaging and the employer is the consumer. A winning CV must be s<I>stimulating</I> ; enough to generate the interest of the reader.<p> Getting that interview is hard enough with all the current pressures of the job market. Your CV is your marketing tool. It's that little bit of paper on which you can sell your strengths and hide or defend your weaknesses. Jones very competently takes us through the structure of the perfect CV, and uses several examples to show how rewording a sentence, or using a dictionary can make all the difference between being a winner and a loser. He also provides a series of sample covering letters to make sure that you maximize your chances of getting that interview. <p> Your CV is a means to an end. However, once you've got that vital foot in the door, it's up to you to prove that you can actually do the job and being able to do this competently is less about being the right person for the job and more about knowing how to play the interview game. But just in case you slip up, Jones has also written another handy little book called <I>Winning at Interview</I>. With this combination of information, how can you possibly fail? --<I>Aruna Vasudevan</I>
