Setting the stage: As a sales professional with five years of outside sales experience, I had documented successes and I couldn't understand why I wasn't getting to the second interview stage in the pharmaceutical industry.

This book gets your mind in the state of successfully EARNING your next job - not passively hoping something or someone will GIVE you a job.

After reading this book, I have to say that I'm VERY happy with the contents and messages contained within.

Like all the Interview books out there, this book also describes the following:
1) How to fix your resume & cover letter to be more focused.
2) How to find jobs and what to do afterwards and good common practices during the interview process itself.

But most importantly,
3) Practice tough interview questions and learn how to turn negatives into positives.

What I like most about this book is that it is a quick read - not weighted down. It was concise yet made the process of resume writing and interviewing easy to understand. It is well written and divided into relavent chapters. It helps you get the important and basic things done correctly, and then your natural talent and personality can carry you the rest of the way. Good chapters on preparing for the interviews and then following up.
While I was in the "hot seat," the questions triggered responses suggested in the book that I wouldn't have thought of on my own. I walked out of the interview feeling that I had nailed it. I've looked through many books and found this one to be the best if you are only looking for one book. I give this book partial credit for helping me find my current job. For under $15, this book is a MUST HAVE for anyone looking to get into pharmaceutical sales - or sales in general.
