“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!

“Not a Helpful Program”

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.

Your Dream Job Formula and Interview Success Formula helped me tremendously to land a great job with another Provincial Government Ministry that I have been trying to get into for years. I would say the number one benefit of your two programs is the confidence they gave me even before I walked into the interview. I won the competition over 17 other very qualified people and it was all because of the background preparation and skills your formulas provided. I have been recommending you to my colleagues all over government!
Thanks so much!

Tip for consumers:
Get both programs as they work best together

If you apply the principles of the course and own it you will succeed. Every interview and interviewer is different so don't get wrapped around the axle about the specific questions they may or may not ask. Get a feel for the theme and use the answers Alan provides as a guide for a natural flowing personable response to their questions. You are selling yourself and not a can of rehearsed answers.
I got the job and compensation I needed with only the second company I interviewed with. (Four interviews by the way). I would highly suggest rehearsing.
Well done Interview Success Formula team!

Alan's courses and newsletter provide excellent advice and support for most job seekers. I was a subscriber to his newsletters and found them to be very helpful in my search. I took his course on behavioral interview questions and it was a great workshop that helps you nail the most important and frequently asked interview questions so that you can tell high impact stories about your value to hiring managers. Highly recommend his services and course as I just landed a job after a 6mo long search in a very competitive market.

Interview Success Formula gave me the confidence and knowledge I needed to receive an offer of a position that I highly desired. After several hours over the course of a few days, I interviewed only once and had an offer the next day, which I consider a huge success, since I had not been in the job market in over six years. Thank you Alan - for all the information - it works. We need only study, learn and practice.
Blessings, Joni

The formula did all that was promised. I was out of the job seeking loop for many years and needed to find out what to expect. Followed all the recommended steps and felt well prepared.
The daily follow up tips are a great help and even after accepting a new position I am eager to read the next tip.
Highly recommend this program to anyone.

Getting help in tailoring my narrative answers to the most often-asked interview questions really put me at ease and made the whole interview process as painless as possible. Would recommend this program to anyone, especially those seeking to switch careers. Awesome program!

You fill out a questionnaire to develop a detailed profile of yourself. Then the results are used to prepare possible answers to 20 tough interview questions. This was invaluable. You feel prepared for anything.

Alan's Interview Success Formula exceeded every one of my expectations. What Alan offers is not just the best online service/product I've ever seen for career advancement--but anywhere (and I can be hard to impress). I'm inspired by the innovative ISF approach, the well-crafted follow-up that genuinely adds value rather than pestering me, and the obvious commitment to creating a customer experience beyond compare. Alan has earned my loyalty. I will recommend Alan's program to anyone looking to get ahead. I know that in recommending him, the amazing support he'll deliver will actually makes me look like a rockstar. Thanks, Alan.

Last week I had my first job interview in years and I was pretty nervous because I haven't had many in my life at all.
I had a look at the internet for some tips and came across your website.
I decided to download the program and after a read through I felt more confident straight away.
Of course I answered all the questions and my personal assessment report was pretty spot on and helped me a lot.
To cut a long story short, today I received a phone call that I was successful! I'm so happy!
Thank you so much for sharing your expertise. To know that I always will be able to read though this information is a huge advantage and makes me so much more confident to go after other jobs in the future.

Again, thank you!

Kind regards,

Maria Meijer.

My biggest problem was " a fish in a water".
I could not remember anything special about my experience, I just worked hard, what to talk about, right?
Alan course helped me to come up with my "stories" and I was able to describe my work properly and finally impressed my interviewer!
I am a baby boomer generation, so it was not easy, but I did find a good job :).

I enrolled in the "Interview Success Formula" 2 days before an important interview and it allowed me to be more confident. Within less than 24hrs, I had the job! For people who doubt about this website, I would say that it will give you all the tools you need to succeed! Lots of good advice, tips etc. I was looking for a job for 3 months... Thanks again! A really good investment ;)

I had been in mu most current role for 9 years. It was really helpful to use the worksheets and follow the process when interviewing. It made me more confident and had a good understanding as to what I should do in the interview. Even though I still had similar problems (talking too much and too long), I know it and make a conscious effort to be succinct and crisp in my answers.

The self-assessment was very helpful as it gave you a place to start in a positive way, working from your strengths. I hope that I am on the home stretch and will find a position better suited to my strengths.

The self-assessment report and customized interview responses, in no uncertain terms, describe me to a tea. I've taken the M. A. P. P. assessment and, until now, was happy with the 75% that I agreed with. I used to think it was a fairly good descriptor of who I am, but more interesting to read than useful but it pales in comparison next to the two reports ISF generated about me Not only did ISF nail me and the worker that I am, it worded everything in a brief, easily understood way that will be highly usable for me in many aspects. No part of either report sounds canned or too "smooth" to be believable. Bottom line? I no longer fear having to sell myself, which, until now, has always been difficult for me. Best money I've ever spent--by far!

I knew I had good skills to offer but believed I could not sell myself during an interview. I also didn't really understand interview etiquette.
I learned that it's ok to ask the interviewer a question on a small talk level. I connected with one interviewer since I knew she had worked the previous night shift, asking how her night went and thanked her for staying late to conduct the interview. I believe it really helped and I was offered the job.
I did this again on a different interview and was also offered a position.
Although I used many aspects that I learned from subscribing for your help, I believe this one tactic helped me relax and be more confident during my interviews.

The Interview Success Formula gave me a step by step guide to shine in my interviews. Whether you need a crash course or have several days before the interview, this is the tool you need. Especially helpful were the fill-in pages to document answers for one or multiple interviews. It takes the jitters out of the process. I would highly recommend this for someone who is new or seasoned in the job seeking process.

Alan's Interview Success Formula is common sense advice that anyone can put into practice to help them face and succeed in any interview. Developing confidence in presenting yourself takes practice, which is critical to success in handling any interview situation. Alan's advice is not out of the ordinary, but practical, manageable for anyone, one just needs to practice what Alan preaches. Your confidence in your interview skills will increase if you follow his advice to the letter.

I had worked for one company for 33 years when they closed the local office and I was forced to retire. Staying retired was not an option for me financially, and the job search experience is vastly different than it was in 1983! Plus I a now considered a "senior" worker and that presents challenges of its own. This program was both the most helpful and most affordable that I encountered. It gave me all manner of practical no-nonsense advice and strategies for navigating those god-awful behavioral interviews and some of those weird curveball questions. My final interview before I was offered a job was actually friendly and polite rather than confrontational but I did not know it would be. Having the right skills and being prepared made all the difference in my confidence level. Ladies for the price of a dress and a clearance pair of shoes you can acquire to skills to ace an interview!

I came across this website as I was randomly looking for ways to help me with an up coming interview. I was unemployed and had been for the past year and a half. I had plenty of interviews but no offers. At the end of my rope, I figured the price was well worth any help and or advice. I completed the course and all the exercises. As a result, I went into the interview, which lasted an entire day, feeling very confident. I answered all their questions in the style recommended. The end result was a job offer that exceeded my expectations. I can't thank you enough.

Tip for consumers:
Definitely worth the price and the time.

I bought this program about 5 yrs ago. When I was laid off from a long-term position of 18 yrs, I was happy to have this information. Over the years aht I have been in the workforce, the job market has changed drastically. This program has kept me abreast of those changes, and provided workshops that are informative and help overcome the changes and hurdles of finding a good position in these changing times.

The program is amazing, comprehensive and very effective. After months of searching with no result (30 interviews, 4 months of searching and traveling over 2,000 miles to interview) I started the program. The program offers concrete steps and things I did to improve my interview tactics. After making many changes to my interview style I was offered TWO jobs after only one and a half months! It took These people are the real deal!

You would think that you are the right fit for a certain job but you get surprised by not making it and most of the time it's because you did not present yourself properly. This course shows you how to prepare yourself for the interview process and in an effective way.

Very useful resource and lots of great advice for anyone who hasn't interviewed in a while, including how to best prepare for a virtual interview. If you are highly motivated, believe in your abilities and willing to prepare for your interview the way I did following the advice and using the resources available as a member of Interview Success Formula, you will increase your chances of being selected as a leading candidate.

I had been looking for a job for 3 years. Then last month my company sold out and I knew I needed to find a new job in less than 30 days. I was desperate and then I found this program. I ended up with three different offers from three different companies! If you follow the steps the program works.
