An Ideal Interview Companion November 29, 2007

No one enjoys sitting in front of an interview board and be judged. And everyone has a pet fear, "What if they think I am too old to start over" or "How do I explain why I quit my first job?" You will be surprised to know how many people stay in a job they hate just because they don't want to go through the job search, especially the interview.
This book is a companion that makes you realize your problem is not unique or unsolvable. For every tough interview question, there is a smart answer presented here that will turn the table around and make a positive impact.
Vicky Oliver gives us sensible and witty answers that makes the reading and the interview preparation enjoyable and effective. The chapters are intuitively arranged, with a easy to read page layout, and plenty of tables and side notes. A great resource.
A worthy addition to anyone's employment arsenal November 28, 2007

I wish this book had been around when I first came to New York more than 20 years ago. It would have been invaluable in my many job shifts -- not to mention a career change -- in the ensuing two decades. This book should be read by -- and stay on the bookshelf of anyone who's not planning on remaining in the same job for life. It has hints for men, women, moms, first-timers and people like me who can be charitably described as "mature." Get it. Read it. Kick butt at your next interview.

Vicky Oliver give some great, no-nonsense advice on how to answer tough questions during job interviews. After reading it, I felt distinctly more confident during job interviews and I think it definitely helped me get my current job.

Like another male reviewer, I have to say this book is way too narrow on its approach, which by itself is not bad but a little heads up in the cover of the book or the official review would be nice, hence the 1 star, so other guys will notice that this book is probably not for them.
The questions are definitely good, but the answers are not, as the author gives one very specific answer, but rarely gives any general advice on what employers are looking for in your answer.
Unless you somehow fit the title of this review, there are better books for you.
And good luck in your job search!
