5.0 out of 5 stars I doubled my salary with this book, January 4, 2004

This review is from: Sweaty Palms: The Neglected Art of Being Interviewed (Paperback)

Sure, this is written for the corporate crowd (more specifically, from a lawyer's perspective), but it is full of useful information.

Using the guidance in this book, I navigated my way through a two-part, three-person interview that got me the job I needed to get my feet on the ground and start running!

I refer to this book any time I have an interview. It covers face-to-face interviews, phone interviews, and eating-lunch interviews. It covers negotiations, how and when to bring up salary, when and why to send Thank You notes, etc.

How much do I love this book? Well, I love my job, and I love to sell used books through amazon.com, but I will NEVER get rid of this book.

I don't care if you're interviewing for a job assembling door handles for Toyota at $7/hour ... if you want the upper hand, read this book.

The list of questions to expect from your interviewers ... and, more importantly, the list of questions to ask your interviewers is invaluable. (One question in particular has always been met with: "Wow. That's a good question. Let me think about that." Hey, anytime your interviewer says that, you have the upper hand. (If you want to know which question I'm talking about ... feel free to email me.

5.0 out of 5 stars An outstanding book! Stands out in a sea of mediocrity!, August 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Sweaty Palms: The Neglected Art of Being Interviewed (Paperback)

I found this book interesting and very useful in my job search. I read several books about job hunting including interviewing. I looked at dozens of other books that I didn't even bother to buy or take out of the library. This book is exceptional-outstanding in its readability, usefullness, and realistic view of the interviewing process.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good But . . ., May 21, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Sweaty Palms: The Neglected Art of Being Interviewed (Paperback)

Generally good advice but some odd strays from mainstream advice that I don't agree with. For example, it argues against thank you letters after an interview - says that they are an irritant to interviewer. Personally, I have been involved with hiring plenty of people and a well written thank you never hurts and can make a difference in a close call.
