Get Your Foot in the Door
In my experience, sometimes the challenge can be just getting your foot in the door. You know that you can interview well if you can just get in front of the right people who make the decisions. Well in chapter three, the author discusses all the different techniques for getting your foot in the door for an interview. Specific areas that he details is:
- Campus Job Fair & What To Do
- Specific Online Job Boards to Target
- How to Request an Office Visit
The Donut Scandal
Chapter 4 is definitely the most insightful chapter in the ebook. I won't go into detail as I don't want to steal the ebook's thunder but he does a really nice job of describing to you what you need to do step by step in:
- During the interview
- Pre-interview
- Post Interview
These tips are solid for any type of interview but there are a few tips that are specific to the Big 4 and you will want to know these before going into an interview. This chapter is worth the price of the ebook and will greatly increase your chances of getting hired in the Big 4.
