Press ReleaseIdeal Interviewing: Executive Search Consultant Shares Secrets to Successful Job Interviews in New BookPRINCETON JUNCTION, N.J., Dec. 20, 2006 -- Author Harry Drum takes the stress out of job interviews with the simple preparation process outlined in his new book, "Interviewing: It's Your Big Deal!" (now available through AuthorHouse)."Most job applicants believe that because they can do the job, they can get it," Drum says. "Having the skills to do a job rarely guarantees the opportunity to 'land it.' One has to get through the interview first!" Traditional methods of preparation suggest that interviewees review company Web sites or prepare answers to a large list of questions. Drum says these methods lead to cliche answers that will bore interviewers and waste their time. With the step-by-step method outlined in this "one-hour read," busy interviewees will learn to make the most of their preparation and develop creative, innovative ways to get the attention of potential employers to not only get the job, but get the higher salary they deserve. "Most people get nervous about the all-important job interview," Drum says. "The process laid out in this book gives the candidate a way to plan and manage the interview process. It is a tested method that has a long history of success." Drum also includes an interactive exercise to aid interviewees' preparation. This fill-in-the-blank worksheet will help readers organize their skills, qualifications and responses before the interview. "After going through the process, candidates feel confident about their capabilities," Drum says. "The feedback I have received is almost always positive. Those who take the trouble to prepare using this method improve their chances of getting hired and usually get a higher starting salary." Drum has honed his expertise in interview coaching for the past eight years as an executive search consultant and recruiter. Before beginning his career in recruiting, he served as president and CEO of three companies, including one of the nation's largest gift companies and two candy companies. He has also worked as a human resources executive, a marketing executive for a Fortune 100 company and director of training for a major retail department store chain. He holds bachelor's degrees in economics and psychology and a master's degree in executive management. He and his wife, Cindy, have three adult children. They live in New Jersey. "Interviewing: It's Your Big Deal!" is his first book. AuthorHouse is the premier publishing house for emerging authors and new voices in literature.
