Customer Reviews

Thorough textbook, but oversimplified
This textbook was a req. for an Interviewing course, which provided thorough information on how to properly conduct an interview (as the interviewer). There was less information on how to be a successful interviewee (i.e. for employment), and our class found the textbook to be oversimplified, and failed to really challenge us as students. For instance, it belabored certain topics that are common sensical, i.e. "Do not pressure an interviewer, do not be hostile, smile." Overall an O.K. book.
