5.0 out of 5 stars Great resource - highly recommended for job seekers, Jan 29 2012
By Tequila Mockingbird - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Great Answers to Tough Interview Questions (Paperback)
I have read about 7 interview books over the past month, in preparation for some tough ones. This was by far the best. It is a slightly misleading title, as it contains much more information about the job search process than just the interview. It is a pragmatic and comprehensive resource, and although I hope to not have to do more interviews for a long time, this is the only book I would need to use again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best job seeking book ever, Dec 9 2011
By Eksteen Amsterdam - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Great Answers to Tough Interview Questions (Paperback)
The book is comprehensive, works with real life examples and is a FANTASTIC book especially if you have not been job hopping and thus have not interviewed or hunted for a job in a long time.

It takes you from writing your CV and the cover letter, through the most appropriate colour schemes to wear for the interviews all the way to the end on follow-up after the interviews and turning a possible defeat into a victory.

My husband, quite a few of our friends and I have used this book with great success to snare the jobs we wanted.

If you have been out of the running for a while or if you have even wanted a comprehensive guide to interviewing this is your book.

As with every guide you have to not just read it but practice and make the ideas your own. This is not a recipe book it is a guide. So ensure you read it with that in mind and know that authenticity in interviews/communication come from practicing the concepts and making the content your own so you can deliver something that has a unique twist to you.

This is not for the lazy or the feint hearted, but for the go getter and the self motivator.
To give examples the following jobs were secured using these principles:
1. Brand Lead at a leading pharmaceutical company
2. Medical Science Manager at a leading pharmaceutical company
3. Senior project manager at one of Europe's biggest IT companies
4. EMEA Medical information coordinator and events organiser at a leading Medical information company
5. Project management office coordinator
6. Production Assistant for a concert hall
7. Head of nursing at a large hospital
8. Call center team manager at one of the largest telecoms companies in Europe
9. Call center team manager in one of the largest Energy distributors in Europe
10. and many more

This is in our circle of friends only...

If you are too thick to understand the book and use it for toilet reading rather flush it and save yourself the trouble of being frustrated and getting a thinking job.
