Customer Reviews

An effective and well researched career book
As the author of a recent book on the job market, I was drawn to Monster Careers because of Monster.com's...well, monster reputation in the world of job market resources. The book was a pleasant surprise. Not only did it offer the spectrum of standard interview-conquering exercises and tips one would expect, but it also tackled some of the "softer" issues that can make or break an interviewee: maintaining your confidence level, selling yourself without sounding boastful, establishing a comfortable rapport with the interviewer. This is a great all-around read, and especially helpful for those who need a refresher course on the ins and outs of interviewing.

Needs to be read if you are interviewing
This book will help. As industries and career opportunities change, most of us will be in the job market. Sooner or later, you will need this book. Current, informative, a how-to guide of the interview process.

Suggestion: Read this with a hi-liter or page stickers. You WILL be returning to what you have read.

Great For New Grads
I recently acquired this book and found the information to be very valuable. I am graduating early from college this December and having never worked in the corporate world before I found the words of this book to be very encouraging and a great tool. I have definitely utilized this book to its fullest extent in my career search and have recently passed it on to many of my friends. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is inexperienced at interviewing or anyone who is looking to brush up on or learn a couple of new skills.
