I actually got this book from the library and found it to be very helpful. As such, I purchased it and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for employment.

Well written book that really prepares you for any situation, not by identifying specific situations, but by getting you to really know your skill set, strengths and weaknesses. Actually putting pen to paper and doing the exercises is key! Do them, then study them. Put this book together with 'Job Interviews that Get You Hired' and a book about tough interview questions and you'll have a recipe for landing the job you really want. Put together a portfolio of your accomplishments or 'brag book' if you will and you will WOW the interviewer.

Finally, an interview book that is simple, powerful and a cinch to apply. This is the kind of thing you can read a day or two before an interview, do the exercises she recommends and then ace the interview with a high salary! And that's exactly what I did. Thanks, Marky for the great advice.
