In this book, Philipp T. Angstmann explains why many highly qualified professionals fail to stand out in job interviews — and how this can be changed.

The focus lies on a fundamental shift: hiring decisions are not driven by qualifications alone, but by how clearly a candidate communicates their value. The book demonstrates how to approach interviews not as a test, but as a conversation on equal footing.

Using clear structures and practical frameworks, it shows how to build strong, compelling answers, handle challenging questions with confidence, and actively shape the conversation. At the same time, it introduces a new perspective: moving from an applicant mindset to positioning oneself as a solution.

The book is aimed at professionals who want to move beyond simply applying and instead be deliberately selected.
