Summary: A Very Compelling And Focused Job-Search/Interview Tool
Review: The majority of career books advise you to send out dozens of resumes, take a passive role, and then practice hundreds of "tough questions" to win the job in the interview. Few books have ever discussed the real objectives of the hiring equation: Can an applicant do the actual job? How can this be determined during the interviewing process? What is the best way for a candidate to demonstrate that they can do the actual job? Mr. Corcodilos has solved the equation with his focused and enlightening advice.

Most of the techniques in this book are unconventional. But as the author stresses, being different works in the ruthless hiring game. The author forces you to examine yourself, focus your search, and concentrate on only a few jobs and companies. His most compelling advice is to do the job in the interview itself. Most of us have never been taught the importance of this simple yet powerful technique. "Do the job in the interview." It is the mantra of this book.

It is rare for a headhunter to share the secrets of his success. But the author strongly believes in his philosophy, and graciously shares it with us. After reading this book, your perspective of the hiring process will be altered drastically. That alone might be the most salient feature of this tremendous work.

The subjects discussed in this book will make you a more attractive candidate, along with a better interviewer. You will learn how to target your job search, and to focus on what you do best: your work. Regardless of which side of the desk you find yourself, this book should be required reading. As an applicant, you will learn strategies to make you stand out from the crowd. As an employer, you will learn to make more informed hiring decisions, and to reduce the chance of a costly mistake. This book is a powerful tool.

Thank you for the opportunity to review this book.
