Introduction

Congratulations ... you’ve made a wise investment in your future! The skills and knowledge you’ll gain with this state-of-the-art interview guide will:

Insure that you are more prepared and confident in an interview
Help you determine decisively whether a career opportunity is right for you
Position you as the candidate they can’t turn away!

My Gorilla Guide covers a broad range of potential interview situations, and the chapters in the guide are organized to follow the natural progress of an interview. It is recommended that you review My Gorilla Guide in its entirety before you go to even one more interview, and that you keep it as a useful and to-the-point reference tool for ongoing interview preparation.

Inside each chapter of My Gorilla Guide, there are a number of quick-reference tools that can help refresh your skills prior to any interview:

Universal Misconceptions

... are the most common fallacies people have about interviewing. Reviewing these will help you quickly identify potential pitfalls in your own interview process. Understanding these misconceptions can prevent you from losing out on great opportunities, especially early in the interview process.

Universal Truths

... are aspects of interviews that you can count on, time after time. Learning these truths will improve not only your understanding of the interview process, but will also improve your confidence. You will also get ahead of your competition by knowing in advance where the interview is going and how to react to each new topic.

Case Studies ... are actual interview and situations in which candidates succeeded or failed based on their level of understanding of the interview process. Similar situations arise thousands of times daily in offices, and one or more of these will absolutely, positively arise in your upcoming interviews. Your understanding of these case studies will help you see ways your own interviewing skills determine success or failure.

Critical Thought Critical Thought Critical Thought Critical Thought

... indicates interview knowledge you must have because of its critical importance in any interview situation.

Chapter Summaries: ... provide a “cliff notes” version of each chapter, and can be used to jog your memory during a review of the entire guide.

These five quick-reference tools within MyGorilla Guide will provide you with information you can use when you’re on the run, or as a refresher before a big interview. My Gorilla Guide readers appreciate the ease-of-use and distinctive features of the guide, and are especially impressed with how quickly they can find the precise information they need, when they need it.

Perhaps the best idea for use of MyGorilla Guide is as a tool to help you be introspective and honest about your own interviewing skills and knowledge. As you read, ask yourself, “Does that sound like me? Do I do that in interviews? How can I do that better?” Have a healthy dose of humility along with your self-diagnosis, and you will be on your way to becoming the candidate they can’t turn away!

Just as My Gorilla Guide follows the natural progression of an interview, it also progresses from basic interview information to more complex information. For some people, the first few chapters may seem elementary. If you are one of those people, please fight the urge to skip ahead to what may be more compelling information, as you will undoubtedly miss something in the early chapters that could cause you to lose out on an opportunity.

Are you ready to move ahead in your career and your life? Let’s go!
