Cool title disappointing contents
This book is basically a short monograph for the recent college grad interviewing for a job. Unfortunately the book covers too wide a range of all possible interview situations - from professional counseling to dealing with the media - in too shallow a detail. The author attempts an overly formalized method to deconstruct an interview situation and then uses that format to present the latest research without adding anything of his own. The result is a too technical book for those with no interviewing experience and too basic a text for those who interview for a living. Some interesting research on resume construction and the counseling process, but not enough discussion of basic things such as rapport building to be of interest. The guy adopts a cool sounding title based on the radical French movement of Situationalism and the latest at the time trends in psychology, but the subject at hand does not justify a deconstructionist approach and his treatment of teh subject is not radical in any way shape or form.
