This is an invaluable book for people who are just entering the workplace. However, it may be even more valuable for those who are changing careers or have been working for years and may have forgotten how to give yourself an edge without seeming to boast.

Ms. Kay has included many valuable exercises that (although time consuming) will give you a fresh approach to showing yourself in the best possible light. You will lose the interview jitters because you "know" what you want to say.

Through the exercises you will gain new knowledge of your own skills and how to present those skills in the context of the job interview, instead of just blowing your own horn.

This is a terrific book and it does work.

Do what she says and you WILL get that job. Much more than just an interviewing book. Learn how to look at yourself through the eyes of the interviewer.

If changing jobs is your New Year's Resolution, read this book.
I heard Ms. Kay speak earlier this year. In person, she has a friendly, funny, down-to-earth yet no-nonsense approach to finding a job - luckily, she writes in the same manner. It doesn't matter whether you are looking for your first job, looking to change careers, looking to re-enter the workforce - Ms. Kay has valuable advice for you. I followed the steps in the book, and voila, everything came together for me in the form of the perfect job. Even if you're not a job seeker, you'll find the book wo rth reading due to Ms. Kay's "never give up" attitude. Good luck to all.

I really like the way the author explains things. I actually read it cover to cover (rare for me!) it was that engaging!Favorite Quote from this book: "'People create their own luck with a combination of optimism and hope about their future, a sense of realism, the willingness to ask themselves penetrating questions, give honest answers and take action to meet their goals."
