Further, this hybrid book - part business advice and part language instruction - gives tips for success on a job from negotiating terms to preparing for performance reviews and collecting appropriate references.

In a better world, Scripts for Winning Jobs would be the standard text in vocational programs. Directors of VESL programs, workplace training, and career centers should stock this book and recommend it to their solid students. Their best students will have already discovered this outstanding book!

If you've ever worried about exactly what to say at a job interview, worry no more! This book walks you through a wide variety of job interviews, and helps you anticipate questions you will be asked, and will want to ask. And unlike other books I've seen on getting a job, this one even guides you through interviews with job recruiters, plus how to handle job evaluation and promotion interviews once you've got the job and want to keep it, or advance.

Whether you are looking for that first entry-level job or a skilled position, this book has all kinds of appropriate things you can say about yourself, your training and experience. This book provides not just one but several realistic ways to respond to the kinds of questions you might be asked at an interview. Moreover, they are specifically tailored to each of the many kinds of jobs presented.

Scripts for Winning Jobs helps you sail through job interviews with confidence, and get the job you want. It even helps you through the tricky salary negotiations with expressions that diplomatically get you into the salary range you want.

This book is great for people who speak English as a second language, but is also extremely beneficial for native speakers going through the job search process. You can also buy this book with a set of 4 C-D's . It costs more, but listening to the interviews reinforces your reading and helps put the right words on the tip of your tongue when you go to your next job interview.

When I was in the process of changing jobs, I bought "Scripts for Winning Jobs" by Natasha Cooper. This practical book with CDs had everything I needed. I particularly liked the simple and easy to follow scripts for every stage of a job search. It taught me exactly what to say and HOW to say it from the first phone call to salary negotiations. It answered several questions I had about salary negotiating strategies that I could not find anywhere else.

Working with the "Scripts for Winning Jobs" and practicing with the four CDs helped me feel confident on interviews. I practiced the parts of the book that related to my occupation and personality and learned to phrase what I wanted to say simply and effectively.

I got very inspired when I received several offers after the very first interviews. Shortly after I landed a better job!

"Scripts for Winning Jobs" contains lots of scripts for different professions, so you can find the one related to your background. I highly recommend this book to job seekers.
