Customer Reviews

Great Content, easy to understand

I never believed that such books can help someone get a job, but actually this one was very nice to read. The idea is not to memorize the answer it gave, but actually it builds the base that makes you prepare answers according to your knowledge and previous experiences, make you understand the concept behind those questions Very well return with easy words to understand. It will sure add something to your job search experience and interview skills.

Best job search book in the world.

Using the advice in Knock 'Em Dead, I have gotten jobs that I would've otherwise had no business getting! The first time that I used his book I got a job where I was the least experienced, the least qualified of all the candidates. But, I had the best presentation of all the candidates. So, just like Mr.Yate promised, it's not the best qualified candidate that gets the job, it's the candidate with the best interviewing skills that wins the day.

The only book you will need

I bought this book on a recommendation from a friend. I am very glad that I did so. This book helped me to gather my achievements for a situational type of interview. I spent a lot of time before I bought this book thinking about my achievements, but the book gave me some advice that made it very easy to think about them.I also want to mention that I spend countless hours searching on the web for job hunting information. I also bought other books. Without a doubt this is the only book you will need for your job hunting.

excellent resource

A friend loaned me this book a week before I had three interviews to go to. It has helped me immensely. It teaches you to read the interviewer in order to see what answers they are looking for from you. I was well qualified for each of the jobs I was interviewing for, but so are a lot of other people. I applied some of the techniques I read in the book and was offered all three jobs. In fact, I was stuck on one question that an interviewer asked me, then the answer the book gave me came to mind, I used it and the interviewer looked at me and said "that's a very good question; that is exactly the answer I was looking for". I only got halfway through the book before the interviews, but it was invaluable to me. I came to this site to purchase a copy for myself and two of my friends and was dissappointed to see that it is not currently in print. I would recommend it to anyone (who can find a copy), even if you are not interviewing. It has lots of tips that will help you have the attitude needed to move forward in today's business world.

A great book!

I was amazed at how much information this book contains. I was especially impressed with the "In Depth" section that talks about searching for that new job while still employed. I can definitely see why this book is on the New York Times Business Bestseller list.
