Testimonials

Cathy, Leichhardt, NSW
“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.”
Sean, Neutral Bay, NSW

Jordi, Caulfield, Victoria
“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!”
Ana, Balmain, NSW

“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.”
Con, Neutral Bay, NSW

“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 your valuable hints on interviews helped me get what I wanted — the JOB.”
Dorothy, Epping, NSW

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!”
Matthew, WA
“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.”

“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.
