Interview Power: Selling Yourself Face To Face

Written by Tom Washington, the nationally-recognized author of The Hunt and Resume Power, this video will give viewers the skills, practice and confidence to interview well and get the job they want. Twelve logically presented segments discuss topics such as the importance of first impressions, controlling the interview, researching the organization, projecting enthusiasm, asking questions, active listening, and selling your skills and accomplishments through the use of stories and examples. Information is presented using dramatizations, graphics and titling interlaced with cogent on-screen comments by employment officers from Microsoft, Boeing and US West. The facial expressions and acting in some of the dramatizations are overblown, but, overall, they illustrate concepts well. The pacing moves along at a rapid rate, with summary graphics at the end of each topic. Recommended for public libraries and college business classes. (J. Scholtz)
