Job interviews are rarely decided by resumes or answers to obvious questions. This is particularly true in an increasingly competitive market where AI will become a dominant influence in the early screening of candidates. In "Would You Like a Glass of Water?" investment professional & professor Christopher Goolgasian, CPA, CFA, CAIA, together with career strategist Jan Pereira M.A. and psychologist Stephen Bishop, Ph.D. draw from decades of interviewing, hiring and counseling experience to explain how every interaction, no matter how small, can dramatically influence your interview odds. This book is a practical, step-by-step approach to navigating the entire interview process — from the drive into the parking lot all the way to negotiating an offer. Importantly, it will also help today's graduates face the existential dual threats of what we call D&R: Debt and Replacement: Record-high student debt Real concern that AI will replace large parts of the workforce Given these threats, both students and parents are asking an important question: What is the return on a college education today? We are highly confident, that the small cost of this book is a force multiplier on the investment you have already made. As a sneak peak, here are just a few key points the book will detail: · How to crisply tell your personal narrative · The keys to having a conversation rather than an interrogation · What do when you're stumped and what questions to ask them · How to close and follow up effectively · Negotiating an offer · Tactics for AI interviews · How to approach the first 90 days on the job Throughout, we will also help candidates manage their stress/mental state and be their best authentic self on the big day. And it all starts with the first question of nearly every interview: Would You Like a Glass of Water?
