This book is an excellent resource. After almost a year of job hunting, I bought this book, put its suggestions into practice, and within a month I had the interview that got me a job in my field. This book helps you generate a bank of success stories focusing on your experience, education, and skills, and shows you how to use them to best showcase yourself in an interview. It provides many example interview questions, and teaches you how to use your stories to answer those questions well, rather than offering canned responses that make all candidates sound the same. Finally, this book goes beyond interview questions and answers to cover other aspects (such as demeanor and attitude) that have a big impact on the impression you give a prospective employer. If you're job hunting, this book is your best investment.

If you want to master interviews, this is the book for you!! It is concise, easy to read, and what I like best is that it is also a workbook. Hands on, roll up your sleeves and begin your job search journey. I have been out of the job search arena after losing my position of ten years, and this book has been a life saver. I have bought all the books by Susan Whitcomb and it has been a wonderful and useful investment.

I've checked out this book from the library a number of times for job and grad school interviews (although it doesn't focus on school interviews). I found it to be a helpful guide to really look at what my goals and skills are and to be able to articulate them in an interview. I finally broke down and bought a copy. Anything referenced so often is sure to be a useful addition to my collection.

This book takes a comprehensive approach to preparing for, succeeding during, and following up an interview. The structure is to plan it like a marketing campaign and then sell yourself - not so much as a logical point-counterpoint list of qualifications but rather appealing to the emotional side of interviewing as well. I like the rather wholistic approach, particularly how the planning component can boost your confidence going into the interview.

This book has helped me to do much better on interviews, helping me to get the job that I am working at now.

This book is awesome. I started a career services business and it's a great resource.

The author prepares you fully for the job interview. The book makes you think and organize your approach, leaving nothing to chance. I know a number of people who have used the book with great success.

This book has great strategies for interviewing and getting the job you want. There is a ton of information and it's organized in an easy-to-read format.

This book is a keeper. If you are looking for a new job or a career change & are going to be job interview, this book is a great investment. I have read several job/resume books & this was by far the most helpful & informative. It is useful for every type of person & any career. It breaks down everything you will need to know to do great in interviews, it helps you to be well prepared for your interview. It goes over all the types of questions you may be asked and how you should respond in detail. I love this book.

I read this book in bookstore. I thought how many points can an Interview book offer, I should be able to get all points in 2 hours. I knew I was wrong after I read the first chapter of this book. I rushed back to get this book from Amazon. It is not only a good interview book, it is a great book on communication. It is very well written and it describes every detail on how to meet people at first time and how to win their trust and respect. I will read it again and again whenever I go to meet new client. This is a great book. Thank you, Ms. Whitcomb.
