No B.S.Questions You Should Ask On Any Interview™

My Story

I've been in the job search business for what, at times, seems like 100 years. As I like to say, “I help the world find work and organizations achieve their objectives by hunting down leaders and their staff.”

I wasn't always mature or responsible about my work. As a matter of fact, when I started working in the recruiting field as a 20 year old college graduate, I was pretty arrogant. I didn't really care about the people I was supposed to help and more interested in earning a commission, even if it meant doing things that, today as an adult, I am not proud of.

Easily, I have spoken to hundreds of thousands of people at times when they were laid off, fired, or have just decided that the grass looked greener elsewhere.

When I was in my 40's, I thought of making a career change and becoming a psychotherapist in private practice. I attended Fordham University in New York City where I earned an MSW in Social Work (I say I “earned an MSW” because between working full time in as demanding a profession as mine and attended classes, I also did field work for 15 hours a week).

In August, 2001, I took a huge leap for me and decided to blog about the job market. I thought it would be a good way for people to learn what I thought about the technology job market and, at the same time, get to know me, too. I committed to write monthly about it. Three weeks after writing my first entry, after planes flew into what had been the World Trade Center , I chronicled the impact of 9/11 on the US job market and the mood of the American people. I have been blogging about the job market ever since,

About three years later, I decided that I would write about ways to help job hunters find work. I learned about ezines from Alexandria Brown who, at that time, was known as The Ezine Queen ; she encouraged the idea of writing one to build your business. In October, 2004, I start to blog about job hunting and in January 2005, I launched, Head Hunt Your Own Job, my ezine about job hunting.

Initially, I wrote once a month about how to find a job and struggled to find things to write about. I would write two or three quick stories about job hunting and then breathe a sigh of relief that I had successfully written something useful. I was also amazed that people would sign up to read what I had written. My first issue was delivered to 102 people. Today, several thousand people a week read what is now called No B.S. Job Search Advice ™ and email letters of praise for the advice I have given them either in the ezine or by answering questions they emailed to me (if you would like a complimentary subscription, go to www.jeffaltman.com and subscribe).

In 2006, I published “Get Yourself Hired NOW!: The Big Game Hunter's Guide to Head Hunting Your Next Job and Every Job After That!” (available in e-book and audio formats) and “Get Your Job Search Organized NOW!” (available in e-book format only). They are available at www.GetYourselfHiredNOW.com

I am not someone who write a book by going to the library, taking five books off the shelf and saying, “Okay how do you do this?” I'm someone who has been on the other end of the phone when a person called after being laid off, fired, had decided that they had had enough of their boss or had decided it was time to take a step forward professionally.

Whether you fit into one of those categories or something completely different, you will find that No B.S. Questions You Should Ask on Any Interview ™ will help you create a favorable impression that earn you more job offers plus give you information that you need to make a good decision.
