“Deborah Barit is a very smart lady. Deborah has an uncanny knack at reading the fine print of Selection Criteria and Job Descriptions - she is good at figuring out what an employer is looking for. It's like she has ESP - with her help in preparing, I found no surprises in a recent interview and I was prepared for every question. Deborah Barit's book "Impressive Interviews" gave clear instructions on how to do the "Job Skills" audit, and this exercise really helped me identify which examples of my skills to discuss in interview. The result: I walked out of the interview feeling confident, and that I had done my best to win the job.“

“The book is a great idea and is really a fantastic career achievement! Where will it be available? I have been telling a lot of my friends who have applied for graduate programs about you and would love to be able to suggest the book for them!“

“I unequivocally recommend Deborah's assistance in finding employment.
When helping me re-write my CV Deborah asked the pertinent questions
that revealed information about myself I had left out and was in fact
important. I find interviews the most daunting process of applying for
a job. I need to prepare what I am going to say in advance because when
I get nervous I can't think properly and leave out information.
Deborah helped me prepare for this situation by asking me questions that
might be asked in the interview and I had to think of the responses. This
helped immensely, and once in the interview this preparation was invaluable.
I did not feel as nervous when asked questions that in fact Deborah had
predicted would be asked. Her knowledge of the process of selecting employees
gave me the edge on paper and in person to successfully find employment
in the publishing industry.”

“Dear Deborah,
I would like to thank you for your incredible work
to supply me with a resumé. You have the ability to extract all
my demonstrated talents from myself, even some I did not realise I had,
and put them into a super impressive document.
The application letter that accompanied my resumé was extremely
effective. It complemented my resumé perfectly, and more importantly
made me stand out. There were more than 450 applications and only 15 people
received a first interview. I was one of those fifteen and with your valuable
hints on interviews helped me get what I wanted, the JOB.
Con, Neutral Bay
“However experienced you are, you can always learn something new
or refresh your approach. That’s what I got from Impressive Interviews
training - an objective re-appraisal of how I should present myself and
prepare for an interview. It focused my mind on how to achieve the key
objective - convincing the prospective employer that you are what they
are looking for.
I got what I needed. Thank you!”
Dorothy, Epping
“I had a look at the selection criteria and they seem great: can't
think of any changes that need to be made. Thank you for your excellent
work. I wanted to let you know that I was successful in the first stage
of the application process - all thanks to your help!
I've been invited to attend the second stage next month and couldn't
be happier.
Thank you again for all of your wonderful work.”
Matthew, WA
“I was looking to re-enter the workforce after a four year absence.
My CV was out of date and I wanted to learn the latest trends in presenting
an application.
Impressive Interviews provided me with a wonderful package. Deborah
Barit is highly efficient and has extensive knowledge across a wide range
of careers. My letter of introduction in particular was succinct and professional.
I succeeded in being appointed to the first position I applied for!
The process was prompt and not at all time consuming. I now not only
have gained employment but have a terrific CV and application package
ready for future use. The rates are very reasonable. I happily recommend
Impressive Interviews for anybody wishing to improve their presentation
and application skills.”

"Deborah Barit assisted in the review of a new business proposal
for a potential consulting assignment and the completion of my partner's
resumé for the proposal. Her review identified many insights and
new perspectives into the structuring and clarity of writing for both
the proposal and the resumé. Deborah has a great flair with words.
We were able to significantly improve the positive tone of the proposal
in a concise, powerful and effective manner. Deborah is a professional
who is customer focused, always met deadlines, an excellent listener and
a creative writer. As a result of her assistance our company was successfully
short-listed for this assignment."
David, Coogee

preparation the research on each organisation and the insightful questions
gave me the confidence to use my experience and skills to my advantage
and even enjoy the interview process. I have no hesitation in recommending
Impressive Interviews.”
Toby, Randwick
“Impressive Interviews gave me the confidence to overcome my nerves
at interview.
During the training I was asked a lot of difficult questions and so at
the interview I was prepared for anything! I had already thought about
the difficult questions and my responses.
My second interview resulted in a full-time job that I love. The training
was about changing the way I responded to seemingly simple questions,
it changed the way I thought about and approached interview situations.
I would recommend this to anyone. Deborah is fantastic at putting herself
into the employer’s shoes and understanding what they want. I would
recommend this to anyone. I see training by Impressive Interviews as investing
in your career. "
