Any additional comments?

After reviewing this book and applying the key tools to my last interview. I felt this was one of my best interviews yet. It helped me to be extremely organized in the interview with the information needed. Of course the book does not give you every question you will ever have on an interview however there may be different phrases of questions on each interview you attend there is only one end result to the interview which is to see if you are the right fit for the position. This book allows you to be prepared for any question thrown at you in an interview.

Any additional comments?

Just incredible. I am an engineer and applied for a job at a company for which I really want to work. The position isn't really one I wanted - but I was willing to make the sacrifice to get my foot in the door. I listened to this audiobook and then relistened to my bookmarked sections and followed the applicable advice. At the end of the interview, the woman from HR who assisted the hiring manager during the interview asked him if he could hold off on his decision until she put my resume in front of some other hiring managers. I have never had an interview go so well to end like that! I got a call the following week to interview for a position that fits my goals and skills completely. Right position + right company = dream job. Needless to say, I am preparing for that interview with this book. I can't recommend this book enough.

Very, very well read. Great voice. Very enjoyable listen.
