More About the Author

Paul T. Kreider was born in 1945 and raised in Berkeley, California as one of six children. Being on the curl of the ballyhooed baby boomer wave, he was sought out as prime meat by the Berkeley Draft Board. Not being slick enough to escape their steel-gloved grasp, he ended up joining the US Army and serving a tour, being released as an Infantry Captain in 1972. If you read the titles of the books he has written, you can follow along this thread. Having developed a fondness for wine in Europe, he started making it in 1972 and rode that pony for 38 years until it collapsed. Now a wine making consultant in the far Pacific Northwest, he writes daily from his water view computer station, building his next masterpiece, a full-blown novel about life as a Sicilian immigrant in the 1940's.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interviewing Handbook for Military Leaders, March 18, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Interviewing Handbook for Military Leaders (Paperback)

Paul Kreider's handbook is an absolute MUST READ for any military officer considering leaving the service. Nowhere else will you find a book that can bring you up-to-date on interviewing strategies in Corporate America quickly. Paul Kreider takes you step-by-step through the interviewing process and provides you with proven tools for obtaining the job offer you want. Roger Cameron's book is NOT nearly as informative, insightful, and fun to read as the Interviewing Handbook for Military Readers!

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST interview tool available for the military officer!, August 11, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Interviewing Handbook for Military Leaders (Paperback)

This book is a MUST READ for any transitioning military officer planning for an interview in the civilian workplace. Mr. Kreider guides you through the entire process, from detailed self analysis exercises, through translation of military experience to civilian qualifications, to ways to handle the tricky questions. This book, together with What Color is My Parachute, should be dog-eared from use by the time that first interview comes around. I received numerous compliments from employers on my preparation for interviews, and specifically on how I answered the questions they asked--I gave them the information they were looking for, not just the answer to the question--Thanks to this book. Without a doubt the best $$ I've spent since I decided to leave the military.

This was a great book. It was practical and down to earth. Paul Kreider is straight forward without the attitude and condescending tone that Roger Cameron takes in his book. He also avoids the ridiculous and dated advice that Roger dispenses. This is the only book you need for your job search.
