Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very helpful
Review: I have always been terrified of interviews and found this book to be of GREAT help. Highly recommended!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love this book, I can't say enough about it!
Review: I love this book. It is something I read before every interview, and I am 6 for 6. It does a very good job of giving you an overview of questions to expect during an interview, and also good ways and bad ways to answer those questions. Whether you are preparing for your first interview, or you have been through a million interviews, I think this book is definitely a worthwhile read. I plan to buy a copy of this book for each of my friends who are soon to be in the job search process.

FYI: I am a 20 yo college junior.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I got a job thanks to this book!
Review: This book's theme is that job interviewing is really performance art and how you can use it to get job offers. Throughout the book the case is made that the job interview should be approached much like an audition for a part in a play. Some of the most important traits needed to win the part are appearance, performance skills and confidence, and this book goes over them in an entertaining and easily readable fashion.

One thing I liked is the way each topic is covered and then tips are given to illustrate the ShowStopper way as well as the Show Flopper way, with breakout boxes discussing areas that are judgment calls in which the experts are divided and it's up to you to decide how one approach or another best fits your situation.

Doing your homework prior to the interview is stressed heavily, as is the obvious value of correcting any deficiencies you may have in your skill set or educational background. The ultimate answer to difficult questions about your qualifications or lack thereof is to either have those skills now or be working on getting them, so you can walk onstage with the confidence needed to land the part.
