MUST read for anyone serious about a job interview.
This book has lots of good advice from a professional interviewer. Helps you greatly to relax (thus the title and greatest nemisis for most of us). But that's just the beginning, has a tremendous amount of helpfull information in a very readable format. Also lots of sample questions and how to handle them. Can help in interviewing from either side of the table.

One of the best interview books I've read
This book goes beyond the typical question/answer book, it helps you understand what interviewers are going through, what they are looking for and then how you can help them see that you are the best person for the job. You also learn about body language and what signals you are giving and how you are being perceived. This book will help you understand how to get to know people better in everyday life, which is not only good for developing friendships but goes a long way in an interview process.

I doubled my salary with this book
Sure, this is written for the corporate crowd (more specifically, from a lawyer's perspective), but it is full of useful information.
Using the guidance in this book, I navigated my way through a two-part, three-person interview that got me the job I needed to get my feet on the ground and start running!
I refer to this book any time I have an interview. It covers face-to-face interviews, phone interviews, and eating-lunch interviews. It covers negotiations, how and when to bring up salary, when and why to send Thank You notes, etc.
How much do I love this book? Well, I love my job, and I love to sell used books through amazon.com, but I will NEVER get rid of this book.
I don't care if you're interviewing for a job assembling door handles for Toyota at $7/hour ... if you want the upper hand, read this book.
The list of questions to expect from your interviewers ... and, more importantly, the list of questions to ask your interviewers is invaluable. (One question in particular has always been met with: "Wow. That's a good question. Let me think about that." Hey, anytime your interviewer says that, you have the upper hand. (If you want to know which question I'm talking about ... feel free to email me. Similar Products
