NTRODUCTION

Y ou Are in Charge I started writing the first edition of this book in 1989, and the parallels with that year are a little eerie. The unemployment rate then and now is 5.3% and, then and now, has fallen steadily for two years. The 1989 economy had recovered from a 1982 recession and falling oil prices, and weathered a 1987 market crash. Our "ho-hum economy," as the New York Times recently characterized it, is still recovering from a 2008 market crash and the Great Recession. The price of oil has fallen precipitously. Unemployment figures and pundits paint a contrasting picture - while the job market for current or recent college grads is consid- ered the best in a decade or more, there are 6.5 million people "working part time for economic reasons." In other words, 6.5 million people who would prefer to work full time but can't find a full-time job. Whether we are in a booming economy or a recession, most of the things you need to know and do during the interview pro- cess do not really change. In the 27 years since I wrote the first edition, an ever-changing job market has morphed from a seller's (employee-friendly) market to a buyer's (employer-friendly) mar- ket and back again. But in good times and bad, the power this book has given interviewees - whatever their ages, skills, or qual- ifications - has continued to grow.

8 I certainly couldn't boast of my own interviewing skills before

I wrote this book. On the contrary, I had often

not gotten jobs for which I was eminently qualified. So I spent quite a lot of time learning all the mistakes you could possibly make, having made each one of them - twice. Now, as a veteran of the other side of the desk as well (I've hired hundreds and interviewed thousands), I can tell you that interviewing is more serious business than ever before. Employers are looking for "self-managing" employees - peo- ple who are versatile, confident, ready and able to work with a team, and not afraid to roll up their sleeves, work long hours, and get the job done. "That's me," you chortle. Congratulations. But you won't get the chance to prove yourself on the job without making it through the interview process.

You can't cheat on these tests

There has been one significant development since the last edition of this book. According to the

Wall Street Journal, hundreds of

companies - including 457 of the Fortune 500 - are using some form of "personality" testing that aims to correlate specific per- sonality traits with success in a particular job. One test vendor, Infor, claims to assess more than a million candidates a month. While tests such as Myers-Briggs and the MMPI (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory) were popular during the 1960s and '70s, we are clearly in a new age that

Time magazine recently

noted "is being driven by a collision of two hot trends: Big Data and analytics...The result is a mostly unchallenged belief that lots of data combined with lots of analytics can optimize pretty much anything...even people. Hence, people analytics." You may now have to take the DISC Assessment, which will grade you in four areas - Dominance, Defiance, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness. Or the Hogan Personality Inventory, which assesses five. The 16PF measures 16 "normal-range" personality traits and five "second-order" traits. The California Psychological Inventory uses 18 scales in four classes to determine what the test | You Are in Charge 9 taker will do in specific on-the-job situations. And the Caliper Profile will assess 25 personality traits related to job perfor- mance. The winner of this personality numbers game so far is Gallup's Clifton Strengthfinder, which measures 34 traits (but is most interested in your top five). I know from experience that you cannot "beat" these tests.quotesdbs_dbs2.pdfusesText_2
