This book is very helpful if you are going through the interview process and have not done so in a while. Very insightful and real world.
Rating: 5 / 5
Bought this book due to current economic situation. A lot of people lost their jobs, so it is important to have good, explainable answers on tricky job interviews.
I am curious to the outcome of the interviews I recently had.
Rating: 5 / 5
Valuable insights presented by the author in an upbeat-positive fashion to assist the job seeker do the most important self-promotion presentation – the interview. Difficult for many of us, this author presents it intelligently, simply, and positively. Good Book!
Rating: 5 / 5
Clear, direct, concise.
The first 40 pages will tell you what you really know: how you feel. And how to deal with it. With an upbeat language helps you decrease your anxiety and depression. And further, MOTIVATE you.
Then clear clues on how to behave, conduct, and win interviews.
I wish he could avoid some areas of job searching and closing to have more material on the topic.
But IT IS A MUST READ.

There is such a thing as winning the interview… many people don’t have this mantaility when going into an interview, but it’s true. Being on the opposite side of the desk (the hiring manager), I look for certain unspoken talents and jestures during the interview process.
This book gives the reader a lot of insight and helpful hints on how to act during the interview.
