Customer Reviews

Eliminate "the fever," ace the interview & get the job
I've been on both sides of the job interview process: as someone doing the hiring and also as a candidate for a job. It is amazing how being on the job hunt alters your view of the interview process. Did I develop some kind of "interview fever" which made me overly nervous and forget what it was like to hire someone? Maybe. But reading Winning Job Interviews allowed me to step back and put it all back into proper perspective so I could ace the interview and get the job. How cool is that?

A Motivational Kick with a Laugh
I can absolutely attribute my success at landing a job after being out of work for quite a while to reading this book. It is a great motivational tool to help get your rear in gear and work on finding a new job. The best part for me was that reading Dr. Powers' book really did reduce my anxeity. His humorous approach and easy-to-follow style made the interview process less stressful and therefore heightened my success rate. This book is great for new interviewees as well as a really good tool for anyone who needs a refresher course.

Money well spent !!!
This book was definitely money well spent. I have interviewed and accepted jobs previously in my career (10yrs in my profession), but have never been as prepared as I was after reading this book. I used it from the start of the job hunt process to accepting the best overall offer. Reading the book helped ease pre-interview anxiety, and also helped me prepare for interviews by providing a good idea of what to expect, how to prepare, and how to answer difficult questions, etc. The sections I found most helpful were on generating multiple offers, and negotiating after the initial offer. I used Dr Powers advice on both, and was able to generate multiple offers and negotiate significantly higher salary and vacation time. Well worth the money and I would recommend this book to anyone currently on the job hunt.
