Customer Reviews

Terrific!

I bought How to Say It: Job Interviews to prepare for an upcoming interview. This book has so many example interview questions and responses that I was thoroughly prepared. What I liked best about the book was the chapter on following up. I followed the author's advice and I'm sure I received the job offer because of the letter I wrote...the interviewer thanked me for following up. I used one of the example letters provided in the book as a starting point. I highly recommend this book.

great resource

I bought this book to prepare for a stressful interview and it definitely helped me feel more prepared. There are so many sample questions and answers for things the interviewer might discuss, it made me feel ready for anything.

Comprehensive Interview Guide

I found this interview book to be very comprehensive. Step-by-step the author provided details on all stages of the interview. Most importantly, she included sample responses to common interview questions. The chapter I enjoyed the most was the one on following up after the interview. The author provided strong follow up example letters and I learned how to write effective ones.

Great interview advice.

When interviewing, I often get tongue-tied. Not knowing what to say to sell myself, I provide incomplete answers. This book provided me with sample responses and a list of choice words I can pick from to get my point across.
