The Best of Several Books

Comment:
This book helped me secure a great job. I read five or six books on the same subject and this one by far was the best. It gives you the nuts and bolts of what you need to do. I highly recommend this book.

Comment:
I just finished this book, and find it to be poorly written, and carelessly laid out. At the end of each section there are comments by people who are "in the industry". These comments are repetitive to the subject covered in the pages prior, and it seems that either the authors writing was tailored to fit the "industry experts", or vice versa. The sample answers to the sample interview questions seem too cut and paste, and often site examples that are not applicable to most applicants.
Not an awful book, but definitely not up to my standards.

Comment:
I found How to Interview Like a Top MBA to be an excellent work. I know that this book was written for recent graduates from college and MBA programs, but the principles it conveys are relevant for professionals in a wide range of arenas. As I read it, I thought of friends of mine who are educators and lawyers and I know they would benefit from it tremendously, so I will be giving copies to them. I wish I had known about this book when I was interviewing for positions in the loan industry. I could have benefitted from it greatly then, but I am happy to know about it now. I recommend this work very highly.

Comment:
I purchased this book about a year ago and put it to use in the last 2 weeks with 7 interviews. The feedback I gained from the reviewers was much better than most of the information I gleaned from the book.
It is important that no one, while searching for a job, use the answers in the book. Apparently they are wrote and are fully expected by the interviewers. The real thing to learn from the book is to begin with an example but always lead into how you learned from whatever the incident was and bring that to what you have accomplished with what you learned.
Overall I am not unhappy I bought the book, but it will not be a book I keep as a reference.
