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 .
