Alan's courses and newsletter provide excellent advice and support for most job seekers. I was a subscriber to his newsletters and found them to be very helpful in my search. I took his course on behavioral interview questions and it was a great workshop that helps you nail the most important and frequently asked interview questions so that you can tell high impact stories about your value to hiring managers. Highly recommend his services and course as I just landed a job after a 6mo long search in a very competitive market.
The videos are not enthusiastic. I found the material monotonous and a bit boring, which made it very hard to open the website to study. I was expecting a more interactive platform.
I purchased the Success Formula - access to worksheets and web trainings -- and it was absolutely one of the best investments I made. Not only did the worksheets and modules break down very clearly and systematically what to expect and how to build confidence, but the feedback from the team was timely and invaluable. They gave real and actionable advice specific to my actual scenario and job niche. I was never left hanging, and always came away equipped with more tools and a few "aha" moments. I was also re-entering the job market after years of working as an independent contractor and consultant, and was able to flip that with confidence to convey exactly how I would be the best fit. I am sure that the support of this program package got me to where I am now -- a Finalist for the job! If you're serious about your job search, this program overdelivers on value. I am so grateful for the support. --

I was having some terrible interviewing experiences while looking for new job as a nurse practitioner. After the course, I became confident, prepared and excited for the opportunity to interview. My interview last week was extremely successful, the company called me back for thr next level of interviewing.
Worth every penny! I got two job offers after being out of work for 16 months and no paycut.
After being out of work and several interviews I had to do something different. I had my previous job for over 10 years and the job market had changed drastically. I purchased the formula. My personalized answers to the 20 common Interview questions made me more polished and at ease in my interviews. The online resources were also very helpful in this new competitive market. I have recommended on LinkedIn job boards to those not landing 2nd interviews or offers. I highly recommend!
The content and support has been eye opening for me. I have more work to do, but am thankful for this resource.
This is worth the time and money - learning what the interviewer is really looking for in a response to their questins, and examinining what you bring to the table is invaluable. I highley recommend this program and Alan's "personality test" and interview tips.
Very useful resource and lots of great advice for anyone who hasn't interviewed in a while, including how to best prepare for a virtual interview. If you are highly motivated, believe in your abilities and willing to prepare for your interview the way I did following the advice and using the resources available as a member of Interview Success Formula, you will increase your chances of being selected as a leading candidate.
I'm so glad I found this resource. It helped me become a better communicator and gave me the tools to answer interview questions with confidence and clarity in a way no other book or program I've seen before.
The Interview Success Formula is an awesome program and I highly recommend it! I am someone that rarely does job interviews due to my hard work ethics. So when I recently found myself on the job market, I was disappointed and discouraged. The Interview Success Formula is a very affordable program which helped to turn everything around for me including my confidence. As a result, I am very glad to report that I gained so much applicable advice, I got my confidence back and I got my dream job as well!
Knowing yourself and how to communicate and apply your strengths and weaknesses is the key to this program. Like others, I already have some great job experience, and forget that employers today are just as likely to choose someone with less experience and who are a better fit for their company. Having the Self Assessment Report and Interview Crib Sheet helped me understand my potential contribution to a company. Being able to speak to both strengths and weaknesses (opportunities for improvement) was key to me getting the job I really wanted. It also allowed me to have a broader perspective about those roles that were not a good fit as I had multiple interviews. This is not only an interview program, but a career building opportunity as you learn about yourself, your preferences and those areas that may need improvement, as you gain experience and want to take on different roles in your current situation. I also was able to get personalized performance tips and answers/suggestions about my specific interview opportunities which is an added bonus. I recommend this to anyone who is serious about their career!
I was very impressed with how accurate the self-assessment report was, and how well it helped create answers to the inteview questions that were more "me" rather than the canned replies some of the outplacement firms recommend. This program covered alot of information that was very helpful in preparing for interviews and getting your thougths collected. I highly recommend this product.
It is amazing not just because it covered the entire process from searching, getting ready and prepare, interview, negotiation, and closing, but because it TRYLU gives you a DEEP understanding of WHO you are and HOW you reflect that at work, assembling TAILOR-MADE answers that they powerful show who you are and what you can bring to the organization, the amount of inner knowledge that gives you allows you to successfully convey those strengths, motivations, and drivers into your interview process! I WILL ABSOLUTELY recommended this tool TO EVERYONE!
It also gives you a TON of Guides/working sheets style to ensure you can work them on every interview you have so you wont forget any important step/process on the go.
I bought this program about 5 yrs ago. When I was laid off from a long-term position of 18 yrs, I was happy to have this information. Over the years aht I have been in the workforce, the job market has changed drastically. This program has kept me abreast of those changes, and provided workshops that are informative and help overcome the changes and hurdles of finding a good position in these changing times.
This site, and the experience they offer is invaluable. Entry level is not very expensive, especially for the individual service (tailored report) they give. This company gives a real insight into the interview process and how you can better engage with it. They do not just give suggestions of what could be done, they give you 80% answers that you can tailor to your own experience. A BIG plus are the emails they send out every week, with stories, examples and encouragement to keep you going in these difficult times. These emails lift your spirit, give you hope that you can get through the recruitment process. I am in the UK, and it is very difficult for a service to be successful and which works well on both sides of the channel. This service however has done this, and has certainly helped me in my journey. If you are reading this I am assuming you are in the recruitment process, so I wish you all the best in your search, "bonne chance" and stay safe.
Getting help in tailoring my narrative answers to the most often-asked interview questions really put me at ease and made the whole interview process as painless as possible. Would recommend this program to anyone, especially those seeking to switch careers. Awesome program!
The multiple methods of direction, support and targeted, focused feed back gave me the edge I needed to succeed. The struggles are very real and the individualized positive suggestions to answer the tough questions were SPOT ON! Multiple starting job interviews suddenly became more and then 3 job offers. Solid offers that allowed me to choose the best job for me and my family. YES, do this program. Yes, they made it work for some one like me and it can for you too.
I am new to this program and so far very impressed with information and format
I was able to follow each email and received immediate feedback for each reply
I've been reading and recommending the content of the Interview Success newsletter for several years now for its practical applicability for those feeling overwhelmed about finding their way in navigating their career options and plain old just finding a job after years in the same one and then finding themselves having to re-enter the job market to try to find something 'new'.
I have been working with Government as an analyst for 5 years now, since I moved back home here to Ontario 5 years ago, leaving Northern Canada after having spent 5 years there and 17 years in B. C. prior to that. I started working for the Government here in Ontario as a Casual employee at 43 years old which meant constantly looking for work as Casuals can work only 90 business days per calendar in any one Department per calendar year. So for 3 & 1/2 years I worked between 3 different departments, rotating back when and where I could year after year. At year 3 & 1/2, I finally landed a 'term' position with sick days, paid holiday time and health benefits for a 2-year term. While I was a term, I landed an indeterminate (permanent), full-time position and 6 months after that, landed a full-time, permanent position in a place where my skills fit the work better and the team and culture of the work place suit me better as well.
I attribute a good amount of the job search and interviewing skills I've learned over the years to the content of the Interview Success Formula program material.
I hesitated to join Interview Success Formula because it just seemed too good to be true. Their Doodly presentation was exceptional and hit home for me. At 55, I was reentering the work force after raising kids at home. I had owned my own business, worked in marketing and publishing, and freelancer as an advertising copywriter. I did not have a college degree, nor the desire to finish my coursework to obtain one. Once I zeroed in on pursuing a career as a 911 Dispatcher, I took a Public Safety course at a local college and did all I could to obtain certificates and prepare myself for the job market. Even with all my different experiences, I hesitated to begin interviewing because I dreaded the popular question, "So, tell me about yourself". I mean... really? So when I found ISF on a website for women going back to work, I wrote down their information and waited a few weeks. And then I jumped in. And it has been the best thing I ever did! Alan and his team are Real People who actually Respond to you. Imagine that! They offer their assistance to help you build your stories to answer those tough interview questions. They respond to your emails. They will do everything possible to give you the best shot at your dream job. If I weren't so focused on becoming a 911 Dispatcher, I would want to work for them!
Answer: Hi Riyadh, One thing you may want to take a look at is the Customized Interview Preparation plan as that will give you some guidance on how to navigate different types of interviews such as the panel interview that you will be facing. If you have a specific question, you are welcome to email us and a member of our team will be happy to answer you. If you are looking for a personal coach to advise you though, that would be outside of the course. Best of luck with the upcoming interview.
Answer: Hi Jonelle! Congratulations on your graduation and on the upcoming interview. In today's healthcare environment, it's critical how nurses relate to and support patients. So you'll need to tell stories related to helping others - in nursing or elsewhere. All your life experience will help there, and our program will guide you through how to tell those stories. ISF will also help you articulate your strengths and motivations and other parts of yourself – where people sometimes have a hard time articulating the words. The Formula won’t answer technical skills questions like how do you respond if a patient is coding. It will help you present who you are more effectively and prove your value. Thanks for your note, and best of luck in the upcoming interview. Best, Alan
Answer: Hi Shell, The program is all online. You can access it within minutes of clicking placing order. We have a no questions guarantee for 90 days.
Answer: Hi Renee, It sure does. Performance based interviews are all about giving compelling example stories from your past work experience. We have special modules that focus just on this, including the personally customized StoryWeaver report. I hope that helps.
Answer: Hi CF, Yes, it would apply. When we launched, there were a lot of nurses looking for support. So we actually have custom healthcare job search worksheets included in our bonuses section. You would still need to practice on your own for technical questions, like, "What do you do if a patient shows these symptoms..."
Answer: Hi Manessa, Most of our clients are at the manager level or above. At the leadership level, they are looking for your ability to understand the big picture current situation and see around the corners, and develop solutions to this. This means you want to have ready examples from your past of what you have done, research to understand the current situation and an idea of how you will approach the role when you step into it. These are topics we talk about in the program.
Answer: Hi Charlene, I apologize for any confusion. We updated our pricing about a year ago to reflect the added features we've included in the program.
Answer: Hi Pallab, Our program has helped job seekers from 17 to 82. It's for anyone looking to improve their interview performance and get an edge over the competition. Yes, the program would be perfect for the non-technical side of IT job interviews.
Answer: Hi Brenda, Thanks for the question! Inside of our members area is a tool called the Customized Interview Preparation Plan, which gives you advice on different types of interview situations, a phone interview versus a panel interview, a first interview versus a final interview, etc. So that can definitely help with that piece. In regards to personality, I am not sure whether you mean they want to understand culturally how you would fit, whether you would be taken through a formal assessment, or whether you would be asked to shared stories and examples that describe your personality. The program can give you some strong guidance, on the first and third possibility, and less on the second.
Answer: Hi Ash, While I can give a number of reasons why I believe in this program and share client success stories, what I'd suggest instead is to simply give the program a try for yourself. We offer a no-questions asked money-back guarantee. So if the program isn't right for you, just send us an email, and we can issue you a refund.
