You're Hired!: How to get that job and keep it too


After many years I have finally finished and released my first book, ‘You’re Hired!’. I’m incredibly excited about this book, as I think it is a perfect solution for so many of you working hard to find a good job in today’s competitive environment.

You may be wondering, how is this book different? There are already hundreds of English language and interview prep books on the market. That’s true, but what I found is that none of the books on the market are currently are very good.

When I was running an English language and soft-skills training company in India, I would search for an effective communication book to suggest to my students. Unfortunately, I couldn’t even find one! The English grammar books written in the USA and the UK were just too complicated and not customized for Indians. On the other hand, I found that most books written in India were not effective or written in an easy-to-use way. So, I decided to write one myself; a book that would perfectly address the communication issues most young people in India face.

What you will find is that ‘You’re Hired!’ is not a difficult book with unnecessary amounts of information. It is designed to help you speak well in the shortest time possible. I have tried to simplify the complicated grammar rules of the English language and focus on the unique communication problems we face in India and other parts of South Asia. And, it has everything you need - English grammar, pronunciation, job placement advice and business etiquette.

For those of you who have been lucky enough to take part in an English language improvement course, you will find that this book is a great reference and practice guide. For those of you who haven’t taken a professional course, this book will give you the structure you need to learn on your own.

I will soon be uploading videos to complement this book on You Tube and hosting online chats on Rediff.com to provide even more assistance to those of you struggling with some of the lessons. Stay tuned for that!
