Book Reviews of Winning Job Interviews
Book Review: New Tools for Job Interviewing
Summary: 5 Stars
Dr. Paul Powers provides some wonderfully useful and supportive information for taking control of the interview process and using it to not only gain a job, but to also build confidence in working through the job search process. Topics include everything from getting into a good interviewing mindset, customizing your job hunt, and practicing interviewing, to answering interview questions, selling your skills, negotiating offers, and following up with potential employers and referrals. Particularly insightful and helpful are Powers' information and tips on psychological testing, and his tools and techniques for prepping references. If you read nothing else, read these two sections. The information alone is good, the techniques make the book even better. Powers also provides an Interview Tool Kit at the back of the book that will be of help to even a seasoned job hunter. I successfully use variations of several of the interview tools with my clients and recommend other job searchers and career development professionals use them as well. ©2009 [...]
