[.ca] Fearless Interviewing:How to Win the Job by ... (ISBN 0071408843)

The best book on interviewing I've ever read.:
I'm in a job search and I've picked up a few books on interviewing. "Fearless Interviewing" is by far the most clear, helpful and power-packed volume I've read. Her advice is believable and easy to read. I feel totally prepared to interview, and I'm going to tell a few friends about this book! The chapter on first impressions is absolutely fantastic!

The Time Has Come:
This treatise is more important now than ever, despite our government's allusions to the economy. There are too many of us scrounging for work due in great part to an unseeing and unfeeling administration. This handbook is exactly what we need and I am proud to say that I use it successfully.

Not for every interview:
This book was fairly useful, but I felt that a lot of the information was geared to high-end professionals and not your average person just interviewing for a job. For instance, the chapter on salary negotiation was a bit over the top. Stein tells you to go in and bargain for an incredibly high salary and then just stand up and shake hands when the interviewer comes to a number you like. It was a prety useless chapter considering most people won't be making the 80,000-120,000 salaries she kept mentioning. The other problem I had was with one of the early statements in the book - Stein says "don't memorize," and yet at the end of the book we are supposed to know over 20-40 of these "Q Statements." I liked the idea of Q statements and backing up your answers with solid examples, but the rest of this book was just common sense, like how to dress and research the company beforehand. I can see now why she might have had the trouble she cites publishing it. There is nothing here you can't find in another book. It's ok, not great.

I finally broke the hiring barrier!!:
"Fearless Interviewing" makes it EASY by breaking down the questions into groups that can easily be managed. I used to particularly have problems with what she calls "stress questions". I have Marky to thank because I absolutely sailed through my last two interviews and got a job offer today! The help with salary negotiation came in handy too - I'm being paid at the TOP of the scale! Thank you, thank you!

An absolute must-have for anyone on the job market!:
This little book is a goldmine! Read it before you go out on that job interview. This is the essential guide to interviewing from a leading expert in the field of career coaching. Marky Stein gives you simple, straightforward and thorough advice, covering everything you will need to know in order to succeed. She offers a step-by-step approach to the interview process that can help anyone prepare themselves and develop the kind of self-confidence that will make you a winning candidate. Her wise counsel and warm encouragement were just the support I needed. I am thrilled to say that I am now working at my dream job. Much thanks!
