60 Seconds & You're Hired
Robin Ryan
Rating: 4.5/5 Stars
Rank: 1392
A vocational counselor for 20 years and the author of five career-related
books, Robin Ryan says job interviews are like everything else these days:
With time shrinking and distractions growing, you must sell yourself in
short sound bites or you probably won't sell yourself at all. And as she
believes that--even in job interviews--this means many of us can no longer
truly focus our attention for more than a minute at a time, that's how she
oriented this snappy career guide.
The updated edition of 60 Seconds &
You're Hired! (originally published in 1994) incorporates recent
hiring trends and some strategies to meet them, but essentially reiterates
Ryan's original method for effectively consolidating top attributes into
five key themes and then repeatedly communicating them in precise,
under-a-minute exchanges.
She clearly explains how to distill strengths
into verbal bullet points, refine them for specific interviews, and
succinctly deliver them in appropriate responses.
(For example, "What do
you know about our company?" is a chance crisply to combine what the firm
needs with one or more of your key themes.) The advice can be absorbed and
utilized even the night before an interview, but more preparation would
undoubtedly increase results. --Howard Rothman
