Excerpts

Because the recruiter instinctively knows if you are the right candidate during the first 7 minutes...the name of the game is NOT about learning good answers or practicing some tips. It's about Empowering Yourself.

My simple 3 step-system boosts your ENERGY, your WISDOM and your LOVE with one Intention: to attract the right Job to you.

The system transforms yourself. It gives you CLARITY and PASSION, and shows you how to COMMUNICATE that to the recruiter.

Be nice to yourself if you want to make a positive impact to the interviewer.

When you learn how to be Real, you shine and then you attract the right opportunities to you (you don't need to chase them anymore).

If you have a good relationship with your mother, you will then have a good relationship with other people, (that includes your interviewer and your boss).

I have always thought that a good interview is measured by the quality of your answers. But it is not. It is measured by the quality of your listening and your questions.

All questions are trying to answer one simple doubt: "Are you the person we want to meet face-to-face?" And it is usually not a question to be answered with words (even in the phone). Let me show you how to use your tone of voice.

Ask yourself "what do you fear the most to be asked"? and prepare for that question.

Be honest in your answers. You don't need to be "perfect" in your answers. You need to convey a sense of trust. So...relax.
