It just works

I purchased an older edition before having an interview with an employer located in the one place in the country I had been wanting to move to for years. I used the techniques explained in this book. The series of same-day interviews with the different panels went great. By pure chance I was the last person they interviewed that day, they asked me to step outside for a couple of minutes, they called me back and I was offered the job on the spot. I have given this book to a couple of friends who were also interviewing for jobs. They both got the jobs they interviewed for. I am not claiming that this book is magical, but it definitely teaches you how to interview correctly.

Great book!! Has help me alot

I have the earlier print of this booklet and decided that I needed the updated one. This is great and has helped me with my interviews. I still have not mastered the salary question from the potential employer but every other aspect has been great. Any one looking for a job in this market needs this book.

outstanding

best darn interview book you can find! this book will give you strategies to answer the tough questions and own the interview. love it!

60 seconds and you're hired

This is the BEST book to read before you look for a job!! Guaranteed you will make more money, and sound and look better, and get that job!! I have used these techniques with good success.

If I'd only had this book sooner!!

This book is VERY effective. I got the job I was applying for AND the additional salary thanks to Ryan's techniques. My roommates both got jobs they were applying for after I 'loaned' them my copy. Using Ryan's techniques, you can really turn those hard, off-the-wall questions into opportunities to show employers why you're the best job candidate. Pluses include the section of what NOT to say in interviews. I found myself guilty of a couple (I'm not telling which ones though!). Also liked the salary negotiation section, especially the part regarding when it's appropriate to bring up salary questions. This book's got great information that the average job seeker (myself included) just doesn't think of. It really gives you an advantage over the other job candidates. Don't be caught speechless, winding up saying the wrong thing again! Get this book, and I'll betcha you'll never leave another interview saying, "I can't believe I said that!"
