5.0 out of 5 stars This clear, concise, informative book is invaluable., February 2, 1999

By A Customer

Allen's book is concise and packed with information anyone going to an interview needs to know. It is extremely easy to read and has no useless information-just direct pointers on what you need to do to land a job. By understanding what the interviewer is looking for and preparing answers to difficult questions like "what makes you angry", "what kinds of people do you dislike", and "why aren't you earning more money", anyone heading to an interview can feel prepared and at ease. I landed a good job and attribute the success of my interview directly to "How To Turn An Interview Into A Job". More than half of the questions I was asked were in this book and the rest were covered in the book in a more general way. This is a "must have" for anyone who is serious about seeking employment.

1.0 out of 5 stars Sorry, but it was disappointing for me., April 22, 2004

By A Customer

I did not find ANY thing there that are new for me. All information was VERY basic.
Besides, I don't think that this book will help you with ANSWER to question "HOW to turn an interview into a job?".
If you don't have any idea about resume and interview I think it's probably better to buy:
1.) Resumes in cyberspace (about e-mail resumes and more);
2.) 10 insider secrets to job hunting success;
3.) Gallery of best resumes;
4.) How to knock `em dead (interview questions).

Also I found "Here is my card "book. I think some info there is interesting and useful.

Good luck!

5.0 out of 5 stars Down to earth, candid, to the point, superb., September 5, 1999

By A Customer

A great little book that can be read in an hour or two, yet provides concised "what, where, whom, and how to answer" interview questions. It also provides with a backbone format to get that job in 12 steps. Everything from what and how to write your CV, to making that first phone call, to the interview process, and finally to the post-interview follow up. It gives you tools to play the intervewer to your benefit without the interviewer even realizing he/she is just been set up to say, "you got the job."
