Review: It is all here, all relevant, and all the overview you need both as an interviewee *and* interviewer

You could easily read the entire book while you’re sitting waiting for your next job interview.  In fact, that might be a handy warm up exercise, if you have nothing better to do.The author clearly has hiring experience and is able to organize that experience into a practical and concise yet thorough survey of all you need to present yourself well in an interview.While everything in this book is worthwhile, I think the chapter, “7 Key Interview Questions” is easily worth (more than) the price of this book.  In it you get… yep, seven questions that are likely to make up the bulk of most interviews.  In addition, you get the real reasons behind the questions, a set of good answers, the reasons why those answers are good, how to deal with negative issues in your past related to the question, and a set of (mostly obviously) bad responses (which probably should be avoided).  Just one key part of one of those questions, how to respond if you were laid off or fired from your previous position, could easily turn a past disaster into an unqualified success.You can (and I have) read volumes on the subject of giving interviews and getting interviewed.  You can, and for the record I have, gain experience by conducting hundreds of interviews, hiring dozens of people, and being interviewed any number of times for all sorts of positions.  This book will not take the place of any of that.  However, based on what I know, it will take you a long way there without a lot of effort or expense.[This book was provided for me to read and review.]
