Even with a fairly detailed job description or a briefing by a knowledgeable recruiter, job candidates rarely have all the tools they need to ace their interviews. This is one of the reasons why interviews are so harrowing—we have to pay close attention to what we’re told, what we’re not told, and the many non-verbal signals we receive. In addition, many people who conducts the interviews aren’t well-prepared, haven’t been trained in interviewing, and often don’t even like the process. The Essential Job Interview Handbook will help job seekers prepare effectively for interviews and become familiar with different types of interview questions and styles of interviews.
