Summary: Great Content, easy to understand
Review:
I never believed that such books can help someone get a job, but actually this one was very nice to read.
The idea is not to memorize the answer it gave, but actually it builds the base that makes you prepare answers according to your knowledge and previous experiences, make you understand the concept behind those questions
Very well return with easy words to understand. It will sure add something to your job search experience and interview skills.

Summary: Insightful!
Review: Best known for his "Knock 'Em Dead" series of books directed at job seekers, author Martin John Yate (co-writing here with Peter J. Sander) now turns to what happens after the seeker finds a job, does it well and gets promoted to management. He offers the know-how you need for that first management assignment: how to deal with subordinates, how to handle management duties when your subordinates are downsized away, how to create and lead teams, recruit a staff and so on. Yate goes a bit heavy on recruitment information, perhaps because he focused on that area previously. The book is directed at novice managers; anyone with business experience would find it simplistic. Though not novel, it is a useful, reasonably comprehensive collection of the principles that tend to be heavily discussed in business schools, management seminars and motivational meetings. That's not a bad thing, when you think about it. While this may not vault you up to the next rung on the career ladder, we note that it will be a useful addition to your basic bookshelf - if you want to get out of that cubicle and into an office with room for a bookshelf.

Summary: The only book you will need
Review: I bought this book on a recommendation from a friend. I am very glad that I did so. This book helped me to gather my achievements for a situational type of interview. I spent a lot of time before I bought this book thinking about my achievements, but the book gave me some advice that made it very easy to think about them. I also want to mention that I spend countless hours searching on the web for job hunting information. I also bought other books. Without a doubt this is the only book you will need for your job hunting.

Summary: Well I'll be...It worked!!!
Review: I live in NYC and I have been struggling off and on in the daily grind for a job for months. I tried employment agencies and the internet but hadn't been receiving any positive responses to my submissions. ***I admit I was beginning to take it personal.*** I didn't know if I wasn't getting the response I had hoped for because the market is so competitive, because I had been out of the job market for so long (I took about 3 years off to be a stay at home mom), or because maybe I wasn't marketable anymore. So, I figured I better revamp the old resume and try again. I would start with online submissions before I took it to the agencies. I couldn't afford to get it professionally redone so I bought the "Knock em Dead" book along with the "Knock em Dead Resume" book in the hopes that I could get some fresh ideas. In the span of one week, I redid my resume based on the formats given in the book and emailed it to a few corporations to see if I got any bites. I did. I landed an interview with a huge company the following week. In fact they were so impressed with my resume and presentation that I received a very lucrative offer last week. (The whole process took about 3 weeks total!) I simply followed the steps as Mr. Yate laid them out and I am starting this coming Monday. His advice was dead on! I knew I had an edge on the competition based on my interviewers response to me. I actually had one interviewer stop me in the middle of our meeting to compliment me on one of the best presentations he has ever had the pleasure to participate in. HA!!! HE THANKED ME!!!! This had to be the Twilight Zone!!! I can't think of any other way that I can express my gratitude to Mr. Yate for writing this book other than this endorsement... BUY THIS BOOK IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT GETTING THE JOB YOU WANT!
Mr. Yate, I couldn't have done it without you and some serious prayer!

Summary: Great answers to hard questions
Review: This book does a great job of helping you answer the most difficult interview questions. As a training manager, who trains managers and executives on how to interview, I feel I am qualified to say this book works. This book is a wonderful resource once you get the interview. This leaves us with the question, "How do you get an interview?" Simple, know the type of job you want and pursue it, if you do not know what type of job you want you may want to read the classic, "How to find your dream job and make it a reality." By Jason McClure. Read this book, and practice for your job interviews and you will be successful in your job hunt.

Summary: Truly a Superlative book, meet and exceed your expectations
Review: This is by far the best strategy book I have ever seen for job hunting. The questions offered to help you interview the company, and the excellent responses he recommends for those tough interview questions most everyone will receive, especially those used on men, will turn around your interviews to get your prospective employer to possibly even chase you with offers you thought unimaginable. No, this is not your dandy dating book for flirting through the interview, no siree. This book shows you how to negotiate the deal, prepare yourself for ivestigating the career paths of those who have gone before, the culture and environment you'll be working in, and how to tread new inroads to bring about a more meaningful paradigm of personal excellence and the perks to help you make this all come true. I made outlines of three chapters, reading them between each interview and practicing what I learned at every interview, even engaging some where I had slight chance of getting the job but squeezed every element I could bring to bear to make the interview an experience to learn from and try these techniques as best I could so I'd be better prepared when the better opportunities came along. This book and the other Knock 'Em Dead books offer the skills that should be passed down from generation to generation so that no young person should ever have to go through life with the trial and error that stifles their career growth and constipates their financial viability. Preparation Yate sets you free.

Summary: the secret to tough interview questions
Review: This is great book and offered me a lot of help in interviews. Being an engineer, I found that finding a job especially in engineering can be a rigorous and tedious process. Most companies will use psychological based questions to determine what type of person you are and to see if you fit in the company culture. As for skills and knowledge, that's left up to you and what you can tell about yourself. This book is also good for interviewers, since it has do's and dont's about interview questions. Read this book and review it before your interview. It will definitely pay off when you get the job offer in this tough economy.
