Winning The Job Interview - Author Of The Peak Interview Gives Free Talks To Job Seekers

April 4, 2011 - PRLog -- The Peak Interview
Bill Burnett, author of The Peak Interview has been giving free talks to job seekers to help them prepare for their next job interview and to show them how to create competitive advantage in the interview over their unknown rivals.

New insights into the job interview process can give you an edge to win the interview and get the job.  By the time you get to the job interview, the company has determined you are qualified for the job. But so are all the other interviewees.  Your experience, skills, competencies, and abilities will not differentiate you.  Your competition is just as qualified as you are.  You need an edge.  That’s where understanding how the brain works makes a big difference.
 
Great jazz soloists know that when they are playing a solo, they have to hit one or two peaks in the body of the solo and end with a flourish.  That's because people’s brains evaluate an experience based on its peaks (good or bad) and how the experience ended.  The rest of the experience is remembered, but the evaluation of the experience is based on its peaks, and how it ends.  This is called the ‘Peak/End rule’ and it was discovered by a Nobel Prize winning psychologist.

Bill will be presenting at talk based on the book The Peak Interview http://shop.peakinterview.com to in-transistion executives on Tuesday, April 5th at 7pm at Career Resource Center, Inc. 40 E Old Mill Road,  Suite 105, Lake Forest, IL, and then on Monday April 11th 7pm at The Chapel, 1200 American Way, Libertyville, IL.
