Summary: Sorry, but it was disappointing for me.
Review: I did not find ANY thing there that are new for me. All information was VERY basic.
Besides, I don't think that this book will help you with ANSWER to question "HOW to turn an interview into a job?".
If you don't have any idea about resume and interview I think it's probably better to buy:
1.) Resumes in cyberspace (about e-mail resumes and more);
2.) 10 insider secrets to job hunting success;
3.) Gallery of best resumes;
4.) How to knock 'em dead (interview questions).

Also I found "Here is my card "book. I think some info there is interesting and useful.

Good luck!

Summary: Useful Beyond the Interview!
Review: I have owned a copy of this practical book since 1986 and have used it to secure every new job position for which I have applied. Jeffrey Allen's easy-to-use concepts and straightforward approach help to make easier the often frustrating task of finding and securing a new job. Of particular help is his suggestion of developing an "action vocabulary" and preparation for the "interrogation interview." In addition, Mr. Allen's approach found in Chapter Two, "The Deep Breath Phone Call," has even helped me to secure appointments with prospective clients during my career in sales. I have found this book to be helpful beyond the interview process!

Summary: Sorry, but it was disappointing for me.
Review: I left school about 18 years ago armed with a copy of this book. The book helped me get offers or at least second interviews in about 75% of my attempts. From my experience, you'll do quite well in the interview if you take the author's advice. You'll actually feel positive energy flowing during the interview if you are using the techniques from the book.

Summary: Down to earth, candid, to the point, superb.
Review: Unlike other books that offer interviewing tips, this book doesn't spend time on things that won't be useful in an interview. The author emphasizes methods -- he has a no-nonsense 12-step guide to help anyone who is nervous about an interview to put their anxiety behind and turn themselves into a confident interviewee. He tells you what to expect and how to respond to what you will be facing. There is even a clear, reader-friendly Q&A section that lists questions that your interviewer might ask you and the kind of answers you should use in order to best reflect who you are and why you are good for the job. The unthinkable could happen (not getting the offer), the author says, no matter how well the interview went --- but it's not the end of the world! This, I think, is what makes this book stand out from others: no matter how well you have prepared, you should still be realistic, yet hopeful until the end. The author even puts in a few inspirational quotations that an interviewee would find soothing. This book has a simple mission: to coach you to get the job you want, and the methods to achieving this objective. This is a thin little book that anyone who needs to nail an interview can benefit from.
