Lehigh Valley, PA (May 20, 2020) Small Mistakes, Big Consequences for Interviews (Momosa Publishing LLC, ISBN 978-1-950459-00-1, September 1, 2020, $10.00) is the second book in the Small Mistakes, Big Consequences series.

Written by Anne Corley Baum, a well-known Lehigh Valley executive & vice president for Capital BlueCross, the book is a lighthearted look at the top 20 interviewing mistakes that people make without realizing the potential consequences. She also includes advice for the interviewer to assist them in selecting the best candidate for the position.

According to a 2013 survey from Harris Interactive and Everest College, as many as 92 percent of adults in the United States stress over one or more aspects of a job interview. Baum’s book simplifies the interview process and helps candidates hone their skills needed to get the job and walk in the door with more confidence.

Baum says she “wrote the book to inform readers how to avoid distracting behavior during an interview that will prevent them for obtaining the job.” She added, “her goal was to create short, insightful powerful points to highlight what not to during an interview and to show the interviewee how to present their best self.

She has spent years serving in leadership roles and teaching leadership to high potential employees on their way to the C Suite. She is a certified protocol and etiquette consultant and has run programs on perfecting your professional image, leadership and executive coaching, how to succeed in the international arena, and dining at the corporate table. She has also led programs for young adults including interviewing and job skills as well as etiquette and dining programs for children and teens.

Readers will discover how to:

· Be perceived as sincere and trustworthy.
