Overview

Maybe you want to understand how other people seem to get headhunted from one job to the next or how they get offered every job they interview for. Perhaps you're wondering how best to organize your CV or what to say to impress interviewers. Or, as the title of the book suggests, you want to know how far you can stretch the truth or even if you can tell a great big lie without getting found out. Written in an accessible and engaging Q&A format, this book provides pithy, informative and entertaining answers to 100 of the questions you always wanted to ask, including: Can I get away with exaggerating my experience on my CV? What are the chances of getting caught if I lie during an interview? How can you handle objections that you're overqualified for the job? Do gimmicks and CV tricks ever work? Is it true most interviewers make up their minds within minutes? To what extent can you be yourself during an interview? What questions must I never ask at an interview? The person who gets hired is not always the best person for the job; more often than not, they simply know the most about how to get hired. Want to know how to get hired? Read this book.
