Customer Reviews

FAKE REVIEWS - at least the first 6 or so
The first several reviews were written within a couple days apart - certainly raises a suspicion. I don't have time to figure out if the rest of the glowing reviews are fake, too.

Great book!! Impresses potential employers, etc.
I read this book along with "Business Etiquette" before an internship interview and it really impressed my potential employer. Needless to say I was given the job and I am a Finance Intern. This book exemplifies to the potential employer that you take the initiative, research the company, and are really interested in working for that company. The book allows you to ask questions that give you insight into the "inside workings" of the company, etc. It is a must have for any interviewee.

Solid, thought-provoking, sure to help...
This book is a solid buy for anyone new to the art of interviewing. I found myself in the middle of a career change (by choice) from the military to the civilian world, so I was totally unfamiliar with most of the finer points of the interview cycle. This book was on my "to read" list in preparation for my transition, but I waited until about one week before my first interviews to read through it--and my only regret is that I did not read it earlier!

The book is clearly organized, well worded, and easy to apply to almost any interview. One word of caution--this book does seem to cater more to those interviewing for management or mid-level positions. If you do find yourself in this position, then get this book! Even if you do not read it page-by-page, simply skimming through the topics will generate tons of ideas for good questions to ask. Just be sure to make them your own, and don't use this book as a "script" for the interview.

I agree 100% with the author's assessment that the majority of the interview occurs once it is opened up to YOU for your questions! Solid buy for anyone looking to better their chances in their next management interview.
