Customer Reviews

excellent

My sister-in-law, who interviews people for a living, took a look at this book when it came in, and pronounced it excellent. For many of us who have been in a position for a number of years, interview skills are something that most definitely does *not* come naturally. This book helps bring people like myself over the hump to feel more at home in basic interviews.

Great Ideas!

This was a great book for preparing to ace the interview. I especially liked the section on persistence. Another fantastic book I found that not only covered the interview but also gave an entire road map for the job hunt was "10 Insider Secrets To Job Hunting Success!" by Todd Bermont.

Excellent book! Truly helped me prepare for a big interview

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Not only do the authors give 50 of the most frequently asked interview questions, but they analyze each question and give a wrong and right answer. The authors also discuss the seven factors that employers look for in an employee and stories people told in interviews that demonstrated they had these qualities to get them the job. The workbook at the end of each chapter helped me to really work through my thoughts and prepare myself. I feel much more at ease about my interviews having read this book. I highly recommend it. Very up-to-date

The book will take you step by step through the interviewing process for competitive jobs. Along with being a guide for preparing strong accurate answers, Power Interviews will help you understand the interviewing process and the mind of the interviewer. Strongly recommend it.
