How to Turn an Interview into a Job

Summary: Excellent For Anyone Who Needs To Nail an Interview
Review: Unlike other books that offer interviewing tips, this book doesn't spend time on things that won't be useful in an interview. The author emphasizes methods -- he has a no-nonsense 12-step guide to help anyone who is nervous about an interview to put their anxiety behind and turn themselves into a confident interviewee. He tells you what to expect and how to respond to what you will be facing. There is even a clear, reader-friendly Q&A section that lists questions that your interviewer might ask you and the kind of answers you should use in order to best reflect who you are and why you are good for the job. The unthinkable could happen (not getting the offer), the author says, no matter how well the interview went --- but it's not the end of the world! This, I think, is what makes this book stand out from others: no matter how well you have prepared, you should still be realistic, yet hopeful until the end. The author even puts in a few inspirational quotations that an interviewee would find soothing. This book has a simple mission: to coach you to get the job you want, and the methods to achieving this objective. This is a thin little book that anyone who needs to nail an interview can benefit from.
