My brother highly recommended it and it has helped me tremendously with my interviews even when playing the role of an interviewer. It even has a chapter on how to negotiate when youre offered a salary after the whole interview process. I highly recommend it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. My go to bookBy Mike K.This is a great book. Ive used it to get my last four jobs including three promotions. The first time I used it I quoted the book for a variety of interview questions. Received an offer within days so I always buy a new copy if I cant retrieve it after loaning it out.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Best reference before an interviewBy Workin GirlI love this book. I have given it to many friends over the years that are just about to interview for a new job. Every single friend of mine that has read this prior to the interview has given me feedback that despite the fact that much of the information in this book is basic; it really helped guide them to be prepared.All of my friends (four of them) that read this godly the job!
