The purpose of Your First Interview is to ease anxiety at a time that's usually characterized by sweaty palms and pounding hearts. Whether unemployment is at a record high or record low and the country's at war or at peace- these factors have little to do with the task at hand- the fact that the reader is facing their very first job interview and they need to get ready.

short, but helpful,

This review is from: Your First Interview: For Students and Anyone Preparing to Enter Today's Tough Job Market (Paperback)
This is a fairly small, short book, but it's packed with lots of helpful information. It goes through what you should wear on your interview, how to behave with the receptionist or front desk person, what to bring with you, and other details that someone who's never had a job interview might need to know. My favorite part, though, was the list of possible questions the interviewer might ask. After going through most of them, I felt a lot more prepared, and the interviewer actually asked some of the ones I rehearsed. Not having read this book beforehand would have been like not having studied for a test--I might have known some of the answers, but certainly not as many and not as well. So...read this book!
