1.0 out of 5 stars I can't believe I paid for this!, April 5, 2005

By	Debi (Gresham, OR) - See all my reviews

I've gotten better reports out of my middle school child!
This isn't even a book, it's paper in a cheap plastic binding ring. The printing on the page is off to one side every now and then, the spelling errors are unbelieveable. I don't think there was any editing on this book whatsoever! The book is totally based on a MAN getting the job. What a MAN should wear to the interview. Even tells you how to pick out the correct tie to go with your perfect suit. But never, talks about a woman getting the job. I totally feel this is sexist and I'm VERY disappointed! Do NOT buy this book!

3.0 out of 5 stars Seeking self improvement, September 19, 2000

By A Customer

This book is somewhat helpful,for the first 30 pages I did not find applicable to me,and then it goes into oral board interview questions which I found quite helpful, especially if your a person who is somewhat nervous about oral board interviews. The rest is pretty much irrelevant so I rate this a 50/50 because the interview questions and answers were very helpful and the rest not.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT!, September 12, 2005

By	www.hauntedcolorado.net "Pisces" (Colorado, USA) - See all my reviews

This book is a must for anyone who wants to be a 911 Dispatcher!

The most helpful section in the book to me was the frequently asked questions in an oral board interview, how to answer these questions, and how to prepare for the oral board interview.

MANY of the questions in the book were actually asked in my oral board interview!!

And, having read the book, I felt confident and knew how to prepare and answer the questions effectively.

And, yes, I did get the job.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
