5.0 out of 5 stars This clear, concise, informative book is invaluable., February 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Turn an Interview Into a Job (A fireside book) (Paperback)

Allen's book is concise and packed with information anyone going to an interview needs to know. It is extremely easy to read and has no useless information-just direct pointers on what you need to do to land a job. By understanding what the interviewer is looking for and preparing answers to difficult questions like "what makes you angry", "what kinds of people do you dislike", and "why aren't you earning more money", anyone heading to an interview can feel prepared and at ease. I landed a good job and attribute the success of my interview directly to "How To Turn An Interview Into A Job". More than half of the questions I was asked were in this book and the rest were covered in the book in a more general way. This is a "must have" for anyone who is serious about seeking employment.

1.0 out of 5 stars Sorry, but it was disappointing for me., April 21, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Turn an Interview Into a Job (A fireside book) (Paperback)

I did not find ANY thing there that are new for me. All information was VERY basic.
Besides, I don't think that this book will help you with ANSWER to question "HOW to turn an interview into a job?".
If you don't have any idea about resume and interview I think it's probably better to buy:
1.) Resumes in cyberspace (about e-mail resumes and more);
2.) 10 insider secrets to job hunting success;
3.) Gallery of best resumes;
4.) How to knock `em dead (interview questions).

Also I found "Here is my card "book. I think some info there is interesting and useful.

Good luck!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent For Anyone Who Needs To Nail an Interview, October 28, 1997

This review is from: How to Turn an Interview Into a Job (A fireside book) (Paperback)

Unlike other books that offer interviewing tips, this book doesn't spend time on things that won't be useful in an interview. The author emphasizes methods -- he has a no-nonsense 12-step guide to help anyone who is nervous about an interview to put their anxiety behind and turn themselves into a confident interviewee. He tells you what to expect and how to respond to what you will be facing. There is even a clear, reader-friendly Q&A section that lists questions that your interviewer might ask you and the kind of answers you should use in order to best reflect who you are and why you are good for the job. The unthinkable could happen (not getting the offer), the author says, no matter how well the interview went --- but it's not the end of the world! This, I think, is what makes this book stand out from others: no matter how well you have prepared, you should still be realistic, yet hopeful until the end. The author even puts in a few inspirational quotations that an interviewee would find soothing. This book has a simple mission: to coach you to get the job you want, and the methods to achieving this objective. This is a thin little book that anyone who needs to nail an interview can benefit from.
