"Although I do not always do well in interviews, this was the best book I've found for simplicity in preparing for an interview. There are only 25 basic messages in the book, but he describes them in ways that help you to fit examples from your own experiences into the messages. "
— Bonnie (5 out of 5 stars)
" Now that I've had the interview it wasn't really all that helpful but I can seen how it would be for some people. "
— Venisha, 12/25/2013" This is a really good book to read in preparation of going on an interview. "
— Eliva, 11/18/2013" Disappointing. I don't think these are really things you can work into the conversation at your interview without sounding like an *ss. Maybe it would work in business fields, but not in my creative field. "
— Kim, 7/2/2013" The books talks mostly about the author's work ethic. There is hardly anything for a candidate to prepare for an interview. "
— Bala, 7/25/2012" Not totally relevant, but super short and enough good nuggets that if you've ever been in a cubicle you should read, whether you are interviewing or not. "
— Derrick, 6/20/2012" It was okay. A very short motivational piece, probably good just before an interview as a reminder of what it is that the majority bosses want from their employees. Nothing that will change your life, but should do well enough at getting one pumped up and confident. "

There are only 25 basic messages in the book, but he describes them in ways that help you to fit examples from your own experiences into the messages. "
— Bonnie, 3/15/2012" The main idea of this book is: Say anything to the recruiter to get the job. Even if it's the greatest lie. "
— Natalia, 10/26/2011" Not as useful or as valuable as I hoped it would be. "
— Eric, 7/25/2011" The title would lead one to believe it is focused on interviews. But the author wanders through how to behave on the job. This had the opportunity to really be a valuable book, but isn't. "
— Joel, 5/31/2011" Listen to the audiobook as I travel to and from work. Finished in one day as it was a relatively quick go through. I enjoyed some insight but overall it was fluff. "
— John, 5/16/2011" The books talks mostly about the author's work ethic. There is hardly anything for a candidate to prepare for an interview. "
— Bala, 4/18/2011" This is a really good book to read in preparation of going on an interview. "
— Eliva, 10/27/2010" The title would lead one to believe it is focused on interviews. But the author wanders through how to behave on the job. This had the opportunity to really be a valuable book, but isn't. "
— Joel, 2/25/2009" If I had read the existing Goodreads reviews of this book, I wouldn't have bothered with it. The author assumes that (a) everyone wants a white-collar managerial job and (b) all interviewers and bosses are male. Join the 21st century already, Dexter. "
