A Unique Way to Approach Interviews

I can remember my very first interview. It was as an intern at some company where they train you to sell products door to door. The PR person asked me to list three adjectives about myself. I said: reliable, dependable and responsible. Too late did I realize that those three words were synonyms to each other. When I said that, the guy smiled and I knew I didn't get the internship.

I wanted to review this book because I knew that it would help me become better at interviews.

This empowering guide from legendary career expert Richard N. Bolles reveals that interviews are really just conversations to determine if the work—and workplace—is a great fit for both parties.

For the first time, Bolles combines his decades of experience with the latest studies and job-market research to create an all-in-one guide for the whole interview process, from pre-interview research to elevator pitches, “tell me about yourself” questions, and salary negotiation. This slender handbook provides just the essentials: the three most important things you need to know about interviews, the five questions you must have answers for, and an ingenious summary of how to succeed. With this guide in hand, you’ll walk into interviews with confidence, armed with the means to impress—and hopefully land your dream job.
