The strength of this book is the emphasis on personal relationship skills with the interviewer. Being able to handle tough interview questions requires substantive answers combined with the ability to deliver them in a credible way. This is not easy and the book gives an excellent baseline of ideas that leaves the reader with some work to do to nail an interview. Marketing Me Book: How to keep your job in any economy

Easy reading. Informative. Instills confidence. Covers every aspect and all one should know before, during and after interview. Highly recommended.

Customer Rating: 

The advice itself in the book seems good, but when the first 13 pages have 6 typos in them it is hard to take the author seriously. This trend follows through the rest of the book and I would say on average I encountered 1 mistake every 3 pages or so. If reading a book with tons of typos, spelling errors and omitted words distracts you from the content, don't even bother with this book because it will drive you crazy.

Customer Rating: 

I have read this book twice while preparing for two separate interviews, and I have found it excellent. The interview build-up steps are well explained though probably not all of that relevant in today's internet/email-driven age. But the techniques to use during the interview itself are timeless - understand the interview from the interviewer's point of view, build a rapport with them, and sell yourself by telling pertinent stories, metaphores and anecdotes. At the end of the day, interviewing is a human, communicative, two-way process.

The list of standard interview questions and how to anser them is very good, even though some of the answers are over the top in my opinion. For example, on p.101, to the question "What can you contribute most to our organization" is the suggested answer "Next to my relationship with God and my family comes my work."
