“Relentless, progressive learning.”

I find that this service has a tremendous positive impact on my job interview skills, because, it reveals many important things that I had given no thought to. Most of the material reveals where I have fallen short in the past during interviews. In addition, the bonus materials and daily informative tips keep me sharpening my skills as a professional in general, outside the interview arena. Thank a million for your great work!

The videos are not enthusiastic. I found the material monotonous and a bit boring, which made it very hard to open the website to study. I was expecting a more interactive platform.

I was having some terrible interviewing experiences while looking for new job as a nurse practitioner. After the course, I became confident, prepared and excited for the opportunity to interview. My interview last week was extremely successful, the company called me back for thr next level of interviewing.

Tip for consumers:
the self assessment was extremely helpful

I want to say thank you. Your valuable advice on how to handle the interview process really helped me much, Although my resume is impressive and I was getting interview calls, I was not able to understand what it is exactly that employers wanted to hear. I really paid attention to your advice finally, last week, and today, after 2 months' relentless searching and interviewing, landed a contract position- which I am hoping would convert into a stable placement in due time. It's a very tough market - but I'm at least not without a job. So, Thank you again! :)

This program proved extremely helpful. Coming out of retirement, I landed my dream job here in Wichita, KS. Your tips on interviewing and those twenty interview questions really helped me prepare. During my panel interview, I was asked what was my greatest weakness? I said, "Other than Dunkin Donuts and those big Boston Creme ones?" That broke the ice and after everyone laughed, I seriously said, "I'm sure I have one, but I don't dwell on it. I prefer to think positively and move on." The information you provided was concise and again, extremely helpful. Thanks.

Tip for consumers:
Interviewing is a science and companies have specific criteria on the type of people they want to hire into their company. Don't try to go it alone. It's worth the money to get the educated help that ISF provides. Remember, you're thinking long term employment and career. Otherwise, just take a menial part-time job.

The team at Interview for Success have developed a great program to help guide you through the entire interviewing process. I found it to be extremely helpful and have had a few interviews since I signed up that all went far better than previous ones. The fact they follow up with you, answer any questions and continue to provide valuable material is a real benefit as well.

Great program that focuses on your strengths and personality traits. It prepares you through the different stages of the interview process from phone screening through accepting an offer. It develops your self confidence and provide with excellent tools. A "must have" for any professional.

Alan,

Thanks to your program, I was able to land my dream job last week. I studied your program for two days, following all of your tips about practicing and always using examples. They were highly impressed, and I left with an even more impressive offer. This program was definitely worth the investment, and I will recommend it anyone that I know is looking to land their dream job as well. I have had several unsuccessful interviews over the past couple of months, but after using your program, I landed it on the first try! Thank you again!

My husbands career has caused us to move quite a few times and I found myself having a hard time gaining employment in our new area. This gave me the tools I needed to recharge my interview and job search skills. It answers the questions that are so difficult to answer about yourself and therefore have me the confidence I needed to interview for my dream job with my dream company. After using the steps provided (and much prayer) I was offered the position and could not be more pleased with this result. I am typically very skeptical about these types of "gimmicks", but this really is the real deal.

This course is a great, easy to use useful summary of various tips in concise easy to use tools. This formula gives specific answers for you based on an inventory questionnaire which helps give you ideas for your own personalized statements. It gives concrete questions and answers you could use and adapt. The SMART format of answering is well explained.
There are tips for all aspects of the interview from nerves to understanding the interviewers, what to wear etc.
They replied to my specific questions sent by email with quick personal response.
The email updates are interesting and offer more insight.
Very very useful!

I am so grateful that I came across this link while searching the internet looking for something to help me prepare. I had an HR interview scheduled the next morning. The self-assessment was so key for me because I had a difficult time talking up my attributes. The answers to more typical questions designed around my assessment was invaluable. This prepared me in LESS than 24 hours! I had plenty of confidence and rocked both the HR and hiring manager interviews and I got the job! This program works- and the price is affordable! Thank you so much for putting this together! LH

Please make the decision to try the Interview Success program. It works. I had been a RN at the same facility for over 16 years. When I was hired there, I sat in front of a nurse manager and we had a nice chat. Things have changed! Today, (in my experience) interviews consist of a hiring committee that ask a series of behavioral questions. I have A LOT of experiences but I have never sat and thought about retelling them. This program helps narrow down what to recall and helps you to streamline your employment 'story'. Again... It works.

This course was an excellent tool for preparing me to interview in a very competitive market. It is very cleverly constructed and leaves no stone unturned. If you are somebody who loathes at the thought of selling oneself to a complete stranger, Interview Success Formula shows you how to do it in a stress free way. In my experience, you really need dedicate at least 8 hours to get the most out of the course. Do the work and you will reap the rewards - I did! Good luck!

The various subjects presented both by Alan and Lisa Rangel have been helpful. I look forward to possibly receiving some feedback on my resume which is in the process of being consolidated by another entity. It is more apt to be accomplishments but not in terms of percentages, etc. As a staff nurse in the past, it is difficult to quantify accomplishments in terms of increases in this or that when working for a large entity.

I look forward to some feedback from either Alan or Lisa when my consolidated resume has been forwarded to me.

I just wanted to say thank you very much. That 100 bucks I spent was worth six figures!:-)

I got a new job recently at the best military financial organization in the country, and I owe it all to you.

I took the assessment and used those results to formulate my answers to the 20 most popular questions asked. As luck would have it, they only asked about 3 or 4 of those in the 6+ hours of interviews I went through, however formulating those answers and going over them repeatedly gave me the confidence to answer anything that came at me.

Thanks to this small investment today, my family and I are going to have a bright future ahead of us.

Seasons Greetings and Happy Holidays to you and your team.

Despite good intentions, the electronic job search is weighted against older career oriented job seekers. I knew that if I could just get in front of someone, I'd be in the running. The tips, practice opportunities and encouragement from Interview Success was invaluable. You still have to do the leg work, practice the skills and put yourself out there. It's worth the time and investment in my experience. I am happier in my work than I have ever been.
Alan has found a way to really help people. My thanks to him and best to all out there searching! Take advantage of the help offered. It's worth it!

Employers are looking to improve their "toolbox" with the right employee. Interview Success Formula guides you in presenting the tools you have to offer employers in a clear and confident manner. This company helped me present a spotty work history as an asset and addressed the concerns I had as an aging worker. I highly recommend this company so that you too can arrive at your next interview with a full tool box ready to land the job you want and deserve.

The multiple methods of direction, support and targeted, focused feed back gave me the edge I needed to succeed. The struggles are very real and the individualized positive suggestions to answer the tough questions were SPOT ON! Multiple starting job interviews suddenly became more and then 3 job offers. Solid offers that allowed me to choose the best job for me and my family. YES, do this program. Yes, they made it work for some one like me and it can for you too.

This learning tool has changed the way I look at finding a job. I moved to a new city over 1.5 years ago and found that the work I've done for 20+ years was so different here it just was not feasible to pursue. And the way to go about finding a job has totally changed. I have always been in high demand, never had trouble finding a job until now. This formula changed my attitude and approach. Thank you Alan! I got the job yesterday and now have a new career without going back to college and they offered me a significantly higher salary than I expected.

This site, and the experience they offer is invaluable. Entry level is not very expensive, especially for the individual service (tailored report) they give. This company gives a real insight into the interview process and how you can better engage with it. They do not just give suggestions of what could be done, they give you 80% answers that you can tailor to your own experience. A BIG plus are the emails they send out every week, with stories, examples and encouragement to keep you going in these difficult times. These emails lift your spirit, give you hope that you can get through the recruitment process. I am in the UK, and it is very difficult for a service to be successful and which works well on both sides of the channel. This service however has done this, and has certainly helped me in my journey. If you are reading this I am assuming you are in the recruitment process, so I wish you all the best in your search, "bonne chance" and stay safe.

I used many of the techniques recommended by my survey and felt much more prepared and confident going into the interview. I had two previous interviews and thought I did well. After I didn't get those jobs, I signed up for the course and found out today that they made me an offer!

I have not had a formal interview in a while. Times have changed as have the types of inter view questions asked and how to structure an effective response. The Interview Success Formula helped me to prepare and I was less nervous and came across clearer after having gone through this process. I did not get the job I was after, but have another interview lined up and the ground work I have done will help me... every step of the way to finding a new position.

I stumbled upon the site, and have found the Self Assessment to be right on and I really like the crib sheet as well. I've read several of the articles that should help bring me up to speed, since I have not had to look for a job in 11 years.

Tip for consumers:
The Self Assessment took me 50 min to complete the 300 questions not 30 min as described.

I've been working for the same company for the last 8 years, so I am a little rusty when it comes to interview skills. Alan's program really help me prepare for my job interview. I felt confident and prepared to any question. I followed all the tips and I can see the satisfaction in the interviewer eyes when I answered his questions.

I highly recommend Interview Success Formula.
