Going Undercover: The Deep Dark Secrets of The Recruiting World  

Conversation with Abby Kohut        

Would you like to gain insight into what HR recruiters REALLY look for when they are evaluating your qualifications? For example, did you know that HR spies may take a peek at the clutter in your car while you are in an interview? That piece of paper lying in the stairwell might have been put there on purpose. Oh...and if the recruiter says that it's OK for you to take notes, find out why they might be confiscated at the end of the interview! Perhaps your body language is speaking in foreign tongues. Take a backstage look at the recruiting world - a view that you have NEVER seen before and will never see again. You will learn:

       When wearing the color yellow can help you get an offer

       When you should and should not mention the Chicago Cubs during an interview

       Deep dark secrets about why keywords really matter and how to choose them

       Why you should avoid a swivel chair and the fishy handshake during an interview
