This is not your typical interview book. You know the books I am talking about. The books with countless tips like, "be 15 minutes early", "smile", blah, blah, blah. I know you could figure those things out on your own! This book will teach you how to extract the job offer! How to inspire the boss into action instead of "having a few more interviews to do." The ability to move them into job offer mode is the key element we'll be discussing. The good news is, It's easier than you think, but most people don't know these simple principles. The new process you'll learn will separate yourself from your competition, guaranteed. I have interviewed hundreds of people, from maintenance men, to district managers. And while doing so, I started to notice the difference maker over and over! The people hired were all their own person,with their individual personalities, but they all did something different than the rest. They all did this without exception and it was so obvious looking back. How could so many not recognize these principles?! Well, I am here to share them with you because I was the one doing the hiring, the one who was in the trenches doing the dirty work. I'll be able to point out the real reasons equally qualified individuals are complete opposites during the interview. The reasons less qualified applicants, sometimes get hired over the more qualified individuals! I would like you to think about the last 9.99 you spent, did it improve your ability to land the job you want? Assume you buy this book, what's the worse case? Now, on the other hand, imagine the best possible outcome? The reward could be life changing, while the risk minimal. You could get the job that completely changes the course of you life or you could lose 9.99. I'll assure you of one thing, we all have spent 9.99 on worse things.

Earlier in the year I changed jobs and got a few "interview" books to get myself ready. I did not find this book to be the most helpful in the bunch, but its key idea is interesting "there are only two things that cause a person to take action: avoiding pain or moving towards pleasure". If you as a candidate can show how you can help avoid pain you will be seen as a person that should be hired.The author included questions one could ask during the interview to learn more about the company and to illustrate how they can decrease the pain. The question are interesting and I have not seen these questions in any other book. They may not work for all industries where the companies are secretive about projects and future plans. "If I took X off your plate, is there something more important you would focus on." "If I implemented my systems to lower your costs, what would you use that extra money on?" "If I increased productivity of your team, what would be your next focus?" Some companies might be reluctant to discuss futures with an external job candidate, however they might work well for internal job transfers.
I enjoyed the chapter called "things a monkey could teach you". Those are the things that are typically covered by interview books: the do's and the do nots. This is a succinct and easy to digest list and presented as a list of bullet items. I also liked the suggestion on how to end the interview in "You have not if you ask not."
There were portions of the book that I did not enjoy. I found the book rather chatty (filler material) with a number of rants (sections labeled so by the author himself). My personal preferences would be to have less of that.
Note that each chapter of the book ends with links advertising services provided by the author, however that web sites was not accessible ("Server not found") when I wanted to check out how much these services cost. The book was originally published in 2014, so perhaps the web site is no longer active.

Hack Your Interview How to Extract The Job Offer Mikel Billstrom 9781500220136 Books Reviews
I am impressed by this book, mainly because I feel I have gained more knowledge from reading it's 40 pages, than I have from reading countless pages of other similar books that are hundreds of pages long. Less is more, and the tools it gives you are practical and can be applied to any position one is trying to obtain, quintessentially in a short amount of time.
I like how it gives you an action plan for each concept, and suggestions on how you can word questions to tailor it to your own interview to help you prepare.
The ideas in this book are fresh concepts you won't find anywhere else, and I believe this book is a building block anyone can use to help them attain their dream career.
It is concise, but not lacking in sound advice, and helps you to get ahead of your competition, by assertively taking control of the career you want, by coming in with an angle that no one else will have, therefore putting you miles ahead of any competition.
I will definitely recommend this book to all of my peers, family, colleagues, and friends that are looking to sharpen their interviewing skills or just looking to expand their personal growth and skill set.
When is the sequel going to be available?! Innovative and extremely informative, and guides you through the entire interview process.
This book started out strong and ended strong. The first interview I went to after reading half way through, I was offered the job. I simply stated that if I'm hired I could free you up to work on more pressing mattered. He said yes then have me an app to fill out, even though I had a resume, and now I'm waiting for my drug test and background check to clear.
I thought I'd wait until I got a job offer. I went through three interviews for my current job. For the first I was not using this technique. For the second and third I did. Find the pain, use it and your skills to connect to a bright future, and ask that final question. It was stunning. I could see them imagining what they could do next if I fixed current issues. The silence after the final question was about 30 seconds, and it was great to basically know that they did not have concerns. I even got a great response. Interview #2 said - I just haven't heard from our other candidate yet. But better, in interview #3 the answer was - we'll be making you an offer! Only thing is, what do you do or say next! It was great to go home knowing I'd gotten the job.
This little book is a hidden gem. For the record, I am an introvert and utterly terrible at interviews. I tend to panic and completely blank out whenever I'm facing the manager answering a series of fast-paced questions. Nothing I found on the internet was remotely helpful; all the articles spouted the same repetitious stuff that everyone knows. This book however, took a different approach.
The author tells you to find the pain of the hiring manager, and by doing that you show you identify with him/her and genuinely care about the company. It's definitely not a tactic I've heard before, and I felt a little weird doing it for the first time, but guess what? It worked!! At the end of the interview, I asked one of the suggested questions for finding the pain- if there was one thing you could improve about this store, what would it be? The hiring manager really started talking then about one aspect of the job she really hated and was trying to improve. Minutes later, she told me I was hired. Buy this book! You won't be disappointed!
