An Interviewee's Best Friend

If you are interviewing for jobs, be sure to make this book one of your best friends. This, together with "What Color is Your Parachute" is a juggernaut of information designed to empower you to get that job. The first step to getting that job once you get your foot in the door is surviving the interview. Yate, like Bolles, is a genius at honing in on strategies that increase one's chance of getting hired. He takes a list of possible interview questions and provides good verbiage and a rationale for how one answers. He also includes a section on appropriate attire; good hygiene; nonverbal body language and what to do and what not to do during interviews. His books along with Richard Bolles' "What Color is Your Parchute" are the books that have helped me every single time I have changed jobs. Hats off to this book! Be sure to read "What Color is Your Parachute" as the ideal companion book to this one.

VERY HELPFUL!!!!

this is a great book. very helpful. I love it!

Very handy; a must-have

I used to be terrorized by interviews. After a couple rejections, you end up asking yourself what is wrong with you. This book taught me to view things from the perspective that there was nothing wrong with me. I simply didn't know how to answer tough questions. Great Answers to tough interview questions will certainly help boost your self confidence. This book is like a tool box. Some questions use to terrify me, in some cases I could think about a question I was asked at an interview for months and still not know what to answer. Now, I can put myself in place of the interviewer because I know exactly what he wants to hear and how I can come out and shine out of a difficult question. You will never be shaking before an interview again once you have read this.

a must read for people looking for a job

This book helped me to find my first job in America. My English wasn't very good, but the book and the cassette were so intuitive and so concise that I prepared my interview with a minimal time.

Excellent prep to turn an interview into an offer!

This book helps you deal with how to present yourself in the most favourable light to a prospective employer. With the preparation this book gives you, exude confidence and competence so that employers will want you on their team. It helped me recognize my strengths and positive qualities - but don't tell too many people about it, let's keep it a secret.
