This guide to job hunting teaches readers: how to become a powerful candidate by looking beyond the job description; how to use "the four questions" to distinguish a right interview from a wrong one; how trying to get a job can land you in the wrong job; where and how to gain the inside edge needed to interview confidently and convincingly; how to control the interview to one's advantage; how to make the prospective employer see the applicant as the solution to his/her problems; and how to win the job by doing the job.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
I'm a headhunter (and former sales professional) who never allows a candidate to go on an interview without reading this book and properly preparing themselves to get the job they want. The approach is completely logical once you realize that you're the "product": you must thoroughly understand your "buyer" (the hiring manager and company), and then demonstrate that you can actually do the job.
Nick's guidance is invaluable! Read it even if you're not in the market for a new position - it will come in handy when you are.

All other job-hunting advice sources - books, employment agency counselors, Websites - are now obsolete, not to mention pitiful compared to "Ask The Headhunter..."
Nick Corcodilos teaches you how to do the research, get to the right hiring manager, and conduct the interview to get not just *a job," but "the job" you really want.
The book is clear, easy to read and, contrary to what "San Diego" says below, the repetition is constructive and useful; no way will you forget anything under pressure of the interview after reading this book.
Speaking from the other side of the interview desk and having recently gone through a round of hiring new personnel myself, I desperately wish every candidate on earth would read this book first.
In today's job market, you need every competitive edge you can get. "Ask The Headhunter" is the next best thing to a personal coach - and a whole lot cheaper.

before I made one of the mistakes he said not to do. However, he also gave the necessary method to bounce back. They should have a class on this before grads even step foot out the door.
