5.0 out of 5 stars This Book Is Fantastic, 3 Mar 2006
By A Customer
This book is really really superb
I left the navy last week and using the techniques recommended have just landed my dream job in London. My CV wasnt that hot but apparently i blew them away in the interview. Do what the book says and you will get the job you want.

4.0 out of 5 stars An extremely useful starting point, 11 April 2006
By Jodi Hesmondhalgh "Pooky" (London) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This book is a real eye opener, helping you to work through some effective methods of getting the most from your CV, working out what key characteristics your chosen career path might call for and building your confidence that you will do yourself justice at interview. In addition to the hundreds of questions and suggested answers, there were some recurring themes which proved most helpful, including:

1) Consider the jobhunt as a marketing and sales exercise, treat it seriously and market yourself hard.

2) Tailor all application letters and CVs to meet the job in question - a few moments saved sending off the same old stuff might just save you the bother of attending an interview too.

3) The interviewer may well be finding this whole thing as stressful as you.

4) If you don't illustrate what you say with examples, you will lose credibility and you will have lost an opportunity to outline information which may not be in your CV but which may be of value to the employer

5) most importantly of all... preparation is the key. never put yourself in a situation where you are not entirely prepared. Tbe good candidate will have a sound knowledge of the job description, why they are suitable, and how to find their way to the interview without getting lost!!

A good buy which will get you asking yourself the right kinds of questions.. and have you talking out loud to yourself in no time as you practice your answers!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely essential to getting the job you want!, 6 Jan 2006
By Darlajane (West Midlands, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I read this book after I found it difficult getting 2nd year internships. This book was so so so useful and really made me think about what to say in interviews.

I've never had a problem getting the job I want since reading this book and recommend it to anyone searching for a job, especially when there's lots of competition!
