With so much at stake in today's job market, a job interview has to be handled just right. This program follows Peggy Klaus, a career and communications coach, as she takes an anxious job-seeker under her wing.

In a heady prep session, Peggy and her client discuss the importance of eye contact, confident body language, confident tone, and good grammar and vocabulary.

But Peggy takes her mentoring a step further: during the interview, she feeds instructions via a remote transmitter to the applicant, who wears a tiny earphone receiver. Peggy's strategy focuses on dispelling naive expectations and forcing the potential employee to proactively “drive the interview.”

English-language subtitled. 11 minutes. 2008.
