Worked for Me!,
By C. Carter (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Interview Strategies that Lead to Job Offers (Business Success Guide) (Paperback)
Even though I've been employed since I was 16, I somehow made it to the age of 31 without having to go through the interview process with HR type people and I was a bit nervous about having to do so. After reading this book and one other related book, I started looking for a new job in late January. Using the advice gleaned from this book, I've received interviews for both of the positions I've applied for, they both called me back in for second interviews and one of them has already offered me a position.
The best tip of all was to be as vague as possible with your answers. If they want more details, they'll ask. Also, the comments made by an HR professional regarding the "Where do you see yourself in five years?" question came in handy. :)

This review is from: Interview Strategies that Lead to Job Offers (Business Success Guide) (Paperback)
This book gave tips like make sure you get a good night's sleep, eat well, exercise, and dress nicely. It was all very useless. It also talked about the internet like it was a new tool to be used in the job search. It's 2006!!! You better already know how to use the internet. I guess maybe this is geared towards older people interviewing? I'm not sure. Anyway, this book was not useful to me at all. Instead, I would highly recommend the Monster Careers book. It has tons of practical and very useful advice from building your resume to interviewing to following up - a much more comprehensive and easy to use guide.

A direct and down- to -earth guide for anyone interviewing!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Interview Strategies that Lead to Job Offers (Business Success Guide) (Paperback)
This book goes beyond buying a new suit and polishing up your resume. It gives job seekers a feeling of more control by its down-to-earth advice. I especially liked the discussion about positioning.
