"78 proven interview strategies-at your fingertips."

Are you brushing up your resume? Considering your next career move? According to the U.S. Department of Labor, six million other people are as well. So...what will set you apart?

The answer is knowing the truth about what really happens during an interview-and using strategies designed to help you win. Studies show only 50% of job candidates are correctly prepared for their next job interview. The way you craft your resume, how you structure interview answers, the questions you should (and shouldn't) ask, and many other specific practices are the hiring secrets that give top candidates a competitive edge.

This book gives you those secrets and ensures that you beat the odds. From Forbes columnist Chaka Booker comes The Empowered Candidate, a book written specifically to prepare you to land your next job. In it, you'll find more than 70 proven strategies that dramatically shift the odds of success in your favor:

Six things every employer wants in a candidate
Questions you should and shouldn't ask to influence opinions of you
The two most important elements of body language
How to turn pre-interview nervousness into a source of strength

. . . and much more

Booker has spent over a decade identifying talent and interviewing thousands of candidates from every corner of the country. He's seen candidates succeed. He's seen them fail. He's analyzed the differences in what they do and has pinpointed specific practices that set the strongest candidates apart from the rest.

The Empowered Candidate captures Booker's first-hand experience, combines it with scientific research, and distills the lessons learned into practical strategies you can immediately use in your next interview. The book also provides timely insight on interviewing during a time of crisis, the unique needs of employers who are facing uncertainty, and advice for interviewing remotely.

Understanding how interviewers think and how decisions are made will reshape how you approach your next interview. Most importantly, the specific actions driven by that insight will empower you to land the job you deserve.
