Review

You can learn more about the book at www.careerpocketrx.com.

Interview Pocket RX is an indispensable book of must-have advice and information for the jobseeker approaching that all-important interview. As a professional resume writer, I have seen hundreds of interview books on the market and while many of them are good solid reads, I know that most jobseekers want clear, concise, contemporary, and real advice before exploring the history of interviews down the ages!

If you are like most jobseekers you are probably nervous about your upcoming interview and with good reason as it could be the most important discussion of your career! That is where this pocket guide excels, providing you with quick-and-easy checklists and last-minute gems that you can read on your way in the train, stopped at the traffic lights, or while at the waiting area in reception.

Attractively and intuitively formatted with amusing graphics, Laura DeCarlo's Interview Pocket RX takes you from pre-interview components of conducting company research, through your arrival, employer expectations, your presentation, what questions you can ask, identifying interview types, tricky salary questions and more and all in a handy note-size guide. A core tool in a jobseeker's arsenal, Interview Pocket RX will particularly help new graduates, people returning to work, or those needing to brush up on the most important one-minute interview solutions .

5.0 out of 5 stars The Last Hope-- Before The First Impression!, September 18, 2007
This review is from: Interview Pocket RX: One-Minute Solutions to Ace the Interview (Perfect Paperback)
Interview Pocket RX is just what the doctor ordered for a last minute dose of knowledge and encouragement. I have coached job seekers from initial resume submission to final job offer negotiations for 35 years but one thing I can't do is go on the interview with the candidates! Laura DeCarlo brings fresh insight into what can be a difficult experience for the most savvy executive and those of us in the industry are grateful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get Rid of those Interview Jitters!, June 17, 2007
By 
This review is from: Interview Pocket RX: One-Minute Solutions to Ace the Interview (Perfect Paperback)
Interview Pocket Rx is an excellent quick solution to those last minute jitters. I recommend that you read it ahead of the interview, but it is a perfect little book to read during those 10-15 minutes before the interview to refresh on interview tips. It is also the ideal size for your pocket and will also give you the confidence you need to ace the interview! [...]
