Claims Adjuster Insurance & Finance
"I purchased your book right after I graduated from college. Your book was a life changing shift for me in understanding job interviews and it landed me a job. Recently my son was born and we relocated to NC from CT. I'm now actively looking for work again & I thought I still had a copy of your book but can't find it! — all those perfect answers i had tailored to my work experience, and the breathing techniques, the confidence builders, are all gone. I have a phone interview today and I've been doing my own research and compiling different questions and answers but NOTHING is as helpful as your book was to me! Can you send me a new copy? THANKS!"

"A must-read item to be prepared for what is going to come at you!"
By Bill Beckman
System Sales Director Information Technology and Services
"As you have stated, there is a specific process to answering questions. Even slightly incorrect answers can stop your chances dead. As a manager who has interviewed hundreds of people over the years, I would always look for reasons NOT to hire someone in the interview. I would describe your Guide as a must-read item to be prepared for what is going to come at you — because it will!"
