Customer Reviews

Insightful!

Job-finding expert Richard H. Beatty approaches a job interview like a general planning a battle. He talks strategy, from preparation to planning to execution. The target: making a good impression. He provides tips on what to do to win the job and how to avoid making mistakes that doom the interview and plunge you into instant defeat. While some suggestions seem like common sense, you can't have too much of that in a competitive market. The book is particularly strong in its coverage of specific questions to anticipate and the types of responses to offer. We recommend this book to people who just showed up in the job market and to those in the early stages of waging this war. Most well-established job soldiers already command these skills - otherwise they'd be on the sidelines.

Great Stategies for Winning the Interview

This book is extremely helpful in formulating strategies designed to help you win in the interview. Particularly helpful were the "performance voids" strategy and the "perfect candidate" strategy. Both are powerful techniques for helping you turn the interview around! Also, the chapter on "damage control in the interview" shows you how to handle negative information and shift the negative into a positive! This alone is well worth the price of the book! This is definitely a "must read" for the serious job seeker who wants to end up with the job offer! Great book!
