“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.

I'm usually very nervous in interviews. But after preparing myself with the tools they offered I was confident and ready. I was shocked when I was asked the exact same questions I prepared for. I felt like the interviewers were more nervous than I was. Even more surprising is I landed the job. This has been a life changing event for me.

My interview skills were very rusty and outdated, so I went in search of material to help me. I'm so glad I came across Interview Success Formula. I followed the program to a T and walked into the interview fully prepared and beaming with confidence. Worth every penny.

I would highly recommend the service and the tips discussed. Especially if you haven't interviewed for sometime, the service is very educational and helpful. It keeps you up to date in terms of what the hiring managers are thinking of when interviewing the various age groups of candidates.

Very comprehensive materials, lots of support and great hints. Some of it is common sense and common knowledge, but it's good to have the reminders all in one place for ready access. It only helps if you do your part and do the research and your homework, though!

If you are serious about landing a job invest in this program because it prepares you well! I was very nervous before my interview because the company was using the STAR interview system and it was a panel of 5! I studied this interview program and was offered the job plus a bonus. I am super excited! The tell us about yourself question came up and this program helped me answer it properly Thank you!

Great course, well worth the monetary and time investment. This course covers all aspects of the interview process and is a must for anyone new to the market or anyone who has not recently embarked on a job search.

This program is a huge help for me. It almost feels like you have a personal career coach guiding you along the way--from prepping for the questions, to what to wear for the interview, and finally negotiating salary.
I have been out of the job market for 28 years, and things have changed a lot! Following the Interview Success Formula has me in the right decade, and I do feel more confident than I did before the program. It's a modest investment in helping you pull everything together. Highly recommended.

After nearly a year of unemployment, I got a job. As someone who just turned 64 and doesn't plan to retire anytime soon, I am very pleased. I won over 2 men who are likely at least 20 years younger than me.

Your initial tools to do an analysis of personality to lead with and the suggested answers to common questions were indispensable.

Suggestions on how to handle the obvious fact that I am over 40 were very useful. I start very soon. What's the best is that after years of driving into Des Moines, IA, is that the job is right in town less than 2 miles from where I live.

Another hurdle that I had to get over was the job description required you to be able to lift 25-50 pounds. I'm a petite female who can easily lift 30 pounds. However, I applied anyway and when the screener asked if I could do 50 pounds, I was honest and told her what I could lift. So, I guess that proves that if you don't fit every qualification, you should apply anyway.

I recently relocated to another State and have not interviewed in over 30+ years. The Interview Success program not only helped me to hone in on positions that I was interested in, but also assisted me in feeling comfortable and confident during the interview. During the first couple of days using the program, I received 3 interviews within the same week. I actually got offers on 2 of the positions and have taken the one which I felt was a good fit. Thank you Mr. Carniol for your program!

I was successful in obtaining the job I wanted as a new supervisor in my field of practice, in large part, by tips I received from Interview Success! It was a good program and helped to make me more confident and prepared! I recommend this program to any job seeker, no matter your field of practice. It was easy to follow and had great pointers on how to be successful.

The interview course helped me to pull my skills together in a way that I felt comfortable presenting myself. The survey and crib sheet helped me to gain insight into myself and gave me confidence as I face the job market. It's been over 10 years since I've been on an interview.

I had an interview coming up in less than 2 weeks and it had been 20 years since I interviewed. I found this course by accident and signed up. The $97 was well worth the money! It took some work and effort, but I spend time over 10 days to follow the plan. The interview went well which led to a 2nd interview for the same position. Landed the job! Thanks Alan!

Once I struggled to get a job that I wanted. I have working experience and my technical skill is good enough, just interview was a big barrier for me. I had several interviews, but no offer. I didn’t know what I should do, just at this time, I saw this website. It is so helpful, just in two weeks after I finished the online course, I aced my first interview and got the offer!

I think I am pretty good at interviewing, but finding myself unexpectedly out of work I needed any edge I could get. The tips here are great for people just starting out, however I found a lot of helpful tools as well - for older workers and for following up. The best part of this program is the tips that come to your email and the support you receive whenever you have a question or need help or suggestions, they are always available and are very responsive. Kathleen was very helpful and encouraging to me - I thought I was not going to get a particular job that I was offered to interview for because the jobs I did not get were not as good as this one and she encouraged me to go for it. I did get it!... I would recommend this sight as it is not very expensive for the support you get and interviewing can be stressful and they help make it less stressful with their great advice!

After working at the same job for over 12 years, the thought of having to look for employment was very daunting. ISF has been very instrumental in giving me insight into the strong points and procedures employers are now looking at and using. The program has given me some insight into myself as far as strengths, weaknesses, motivation and purpose. I would recommend this program for anyone who has not been in the arena to find work for a number of years. I have not achieved my dream job yet but I know patience, persistence and a positive attitude the cards will be in my hands very soon

The Interview Success Formula was a tremendous help in my recent job search. One of the most valuable tools for me was the self assessment report. I was able to understand what motivated as a leader. On July 5, I landed the job that I wanted.

ISF is a fantastic tool and it's affordable. It's so thorough and informative - all the resources you need to help prepare you for your next interview, neatly packaged in one spot. The customized reports alone were worth every penny. ISF really helped me prepare for my interviews and I truly believe it helped me get the offer.

I found that by taking each and every step that this program sends you through, you can be successful at finding the position you dream about. I followed every step as it was outlined, and answered all the questions on the evaluations and learned my strong points and weaker points. I was very surprised when I was being asked the questions that this program prepares you for. I did my homework, got assistance with my resume from the unemployment office and looked up information on the companies that I was interviewing with, and they were very surprised at how prepared I was for the interviews. I had a choice of positions and went with the company that wanted me so badly, that they created a position for me. Don't miss a step and you can be successful also. Good hunting!

Verified purchase

Worth every penny! I got two job offers after being out of work for 16 months and no paycut.

After being out of work and several interviews I had to do something different. I had my previous job for over 10 years and the job market had changed drastically. I purchased the formula. My personalized answers to the 20 common Interview questions made me more polished and at ease in my interviews. The online resources were also very helpful in this new competitive market. I have recommended on LinkedIn job boards to those not landing 2nd interviews or offers. I highly recommend!

Excellent program. It gives you the essentials to do great in any interview. You get the base of what to respond and its tailored to your own experiences. Making your own examples after that is very easy.

Last week I was offered my 3rd position since joining in 2015. I am a contractor and am forced to change jobs frequently. I believe the Self Assessment and interviewing techniques have played a major role in obtaining these offers. I print it out and take it on every Interview I go on. It works almost every time. I highly recommend it! Plus, he actually takes a personal interest in my search.

Tip for consumers:
Review the Crib sheet before every interview and have your elevator pitch memorized.
