Welcome to the Table!

​

Congratulations! You've secured an interview for your dream job. Now what?

​

For job seekers, the interview is the final step in the race toward securing a new position. It’s where all your preparation, experience, and enthusiasm come together to make a lasting impression. But what if I told you there’s a way to take the guesswork out of the interview process? What if you could tap into the unspoken rules, the hidden criteria, and the subtle cues that interviewers use to make their decisions? What if you could walk into the interview room already knowing how to impress your potential employers and leave a powerful impact?

​

In Secrets from the Other Side of the Table: How to Rock Your Interview and Land the Job, I’ve gathered years of experience from both sides of the interview table—as a school principal, an assistant superintendent of schools and a career coach. I’ve had the privilege of sitting across from countless candidates, evaluating their qualifications, assessing their fit, and making decisions that would change the course of their careers. I’ve also worked with hundreds of job seekers, helping them prepare for that crucial moment when they have the opportunity to present themselves in the best possible light.

In this book, I’m sharing with you the insights and "secrets" that interviewers rarely talk about. These are the factors, considerations, and thought processes that shape an interviewer’s decision-making—and believe it or not, many of them have little to do with what’s written on your resume.

Here, you’ll discover:

​​

• What interviewers are really thinking: Learn what’s going on behind the scenes and how to leverage the hidden psychology of interviews to your advantage.

• The qualities interviewers prioritize: Discover the key traits hiring professionals are always evaluating, from technical skills to cultural fit, and how you can highlight these aspects in your responses.

• How to navigate any question: Master the art of answering questions with confidence, authenticity, and impact—even the ones that catch you off guard.

• Non-verbal communication secrets: Understand the power of body language, eye contact, and other subtle cues that may influence the way you’re perceived during the interview.

• The unspoken "rules" of interview etiquette: From how to dress to how to follow up, I’ll walk you through the behind-the-scenes etiquette that will make you stand out in the eyes of any interviewer.

​​

Whether you’re new to the job market or a seasoned professional, this book is packed with actionable strategies to help you not only survive but thrive in the interview process. With practical tips, insider knowledge, and step-by-step guidance, you’ll walk into your next interview knowing exactly what interviewers are looking for and how to give them the very best version of yourself. 

​

By the end of this book, you’ll be empowered with the tools to not only land the job but to stand out as the candidate they can’t afford to overlook.

​

Are you ready to discover the secrets to acing your interview and securing your next role? Let’s dive in. Your dream job awaits.
