Customer Reviews
Good advice but unexciting
The book is good with sound advice, but it somehow fails to inspire and build confidence in the candidate going for an interview. It sort of comes with a view point that job is there for us to solve the company’s problems. Hmm…I much prefer the approach that we spend a lot of time at work so we should aim to have a job that we enjoy. Some answers to competency questions failed to engage me entirely - I had to read them a few times as each time I managed to switch off my mind one third through. It is a very personal opinion - so by all means no suggestion that it really is like that. The book does show though what interviewers now consider as cliches which is useful.
Pleasantly surprised
Wife (who works in recruitment) made me buy this but to my surprise I actually really enjoyed this book. Its about changing your mindset from a me me me thought process to how can I make a genuine difference to this company and their problems, which is ultimately what any potential employer is looking for
The intro (sample) is far more interesting than the rest of it.
For £6 I’d say it’s worth skimming through, but don’t get your hopes up.
