4.0 out of 5 stars Really good book - covers all you'd expect and hope for..., 29 Feb 2008
Excellent book. Works really well to cover all the interview fundamentals. Read it alongside "How to Handle Your Recruitment Consultant". Both these books are excellent, and perfect for finding and landing your perfect job. Cannot recommend them both highly enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars I did get it right the first time!, 5 Dec 2004
This review is from: Perfect Interview: All You Need to Get it Right the First Time (Paperback)
I was a graduate and I was applying for a job. I was in a bookstore with my girlfriend and was looking through some books to get some help with my interviews, when I saw this one. The only reason I bought it was because I thought: "Ok, I am not much into reading, I am not going to spend hours finding out about other people's theories that confuse me and describe something completely different than me, so I am getting this one which looks easy readable, small (140 pages with 2-3 page chapters) and describes techniques in a simple, understandable and realistic way."

When I finished reading this book, I liked it so much that I read it two more times (I've never read a book a second time in my life). Then I had my first interview where I applied all the techniques. Then I had my second interview and then I had a job in a very successful multi-national firm with a good salary and excellent working conditions.

Read this book. You don't want to go to an interview and be prepared only on the less important issues. E.g. the interviewers don't want to see a person that is capable of doing his homework and knows the revenues of the company in the last 5 years, the stock price, etc. They want to see that this person will fit into the company and be able to do the job. You don't want to get asked common questions that you had never been bothered to prepare. E.g. You don't want to be asked "How much money do you want?" and be like "Hmmm, well, I've never thought about that one. Is X too much or too little? Will they think that I am expensive and get somebody else, or will they think that I ask too little therefore I am not that good?" You want to be able to respond with quick, simple and diplomatic answers to all questions. Moreover, you don't want to be rejected just because you had your mouth in a natural half open position the whole time and your hands were scratching your hair after every question.

This book addresses lots of common sense issues that most people never got to think that might be important. So, if you think you are a capable, competent person that can do the jobs he is applying for and in order to become successful all you need is a simple training to the role of the interviewee, then buy this book. If you don't think that, then better consider buying the "Psychology of Success: Finding Meaning in Work and Life" instead.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book, in small, easy-to-digest sections, 9 April 2001
This review is from: The Perfect Interview (Paperback)
I have just placed an order for my third copy of this book. I lent the previous 2 copies which were never returned - a testament (I think) to how good it is. Each short section covers a memorable and easy-to-use tip for an interview. Even if you don't follow all of them, I find it gave me a much needed boost of confidence when employing these expert techniques, and my success rate at reaching second interviews shot up. If that wasn't enough, it's both small and cheap - what more could you ask? Highly recommended.
