Customer Reviews

VERY helpful interview book to get ahead of the competition
Thanks to this book I received a job offer for a job I've wanted for the past few years of my career with a world-renown company.

I was very well prepared for all 3 interviews I had to go on to get this job. All the trick questions that were asked were questions from the book which I've already mentally prepared answers. Lastly, this book helped me immensely with negotiating an offer. I was able to get 2 weeks in between jobs (so I can go on a celebratory beach holiday!!)and bump up the salary.

I highly recommend this book for interviewers of all industries (except banking). The job market is incredibly competitive, this book will give you tips on how to get ahead!

Got me the job !!
Well I bought the book brilliant C.V which is good and this book to help me finding a job. I got an interview for a job that I was lacking a bit of experience in, read the book, went to the interview and got the job! If you are not an experienced job hunter then this book is critical to your success, otherwise it'll still give even the experienced job hunter some useful tips!

Great stuff

Ho hum
Fairly solid advice - but it didn't tell me much that I didn't already know. I apologise, as I'm sure the author spent a lot of tiem writing the book and tried to do her best. But I wanted some advice that was a bit more specific. For example, I've come across situations such as an arrogant male interviewer who kept staring at me like I was a piece of something he'd trodden on. So I began to struggle and didn't know how to rescue the interview. Perhaps this book is better for people who haven't had a job interview in ages and are looking for more basic advice?
