The job market is so competitive that you need to make the most of every meeting with a potential employer. So, what do you do in an interview? How do you answer the question, "What is your greatest weakness?" What is the best way to follow up? All these practical questions are answered in this book.
Reading Knock'em Dead along with What Color is Your Parachute? is a winning combination. If you pass on these books to "save money," pray you don't go up against the candidate who did.
Good book for graduating college students and those looking for a career change.

This book is a textbook used in my daughter's college class. I don't have particular opinions about the quality of the content, but I do know she was relieved to have the prompt delivery by the vendor.

I've read several books on job interviewing preparation, my favorite being Win 'Em Over! Get Hired!: Job Interviews That Produce Job Offers and this book, Knock 'Em Dead. Both authors (Martin Yate and Irv Jasinski) are experts in their field with heavy HR and consulting backgrounds in business and industry. Their approaches are similar but from different perspectives. Reading both, I feel I've gotten the best of both worlds. I owe the great job and salary offer I received to both gentlemen. Thanks fellas!

I'm a pretty intelligent guy, but I'm not a very effective speaker, so I have trouble selling myself. When faced with a personal question that I'm not expecting, I often find it difficult to compose an answer on the spot and deliver it without stumbling over my words, and without awkward pauses as I search for the best way to phrase something. I also don't have much experience with how the business world works. Hence, as recently as a few weeks ago, a job interview seemed like the stuff of nightmares.
Thankfully, I found this book. Its comprehensive advice is as useful as it is easy to understand, for every aspect of the job search. Knock 'em Dead answered my questions about how to identify the best job opportunities, how to craft my letters of introduction to catch an employer's interest, and most importantly, how to handle any interview situation smoothly and confidently. Within an amazingly short time, I got myself a better job than I would have believed possible for someone with my background, and at a better salary than I had hoped for.
Job interviews still make me nervous, but to be honest, it's the anticipation more than the actual process that bothers me now. Once the interview starts, I find myself actually quite comfortable, because I know that I've prepared thoroughly for whatever's coming. Even if you can't necessarily anticipate every last question an interviewer will hit you with, you can certainly come close, and the more prepared you are, the easier it is to deal with the few unknowns.
I don't doubt that I would have been tripped up several times in my job interviews had I not read this book first. With it, I was never unsure of myself, never came out of an interview thinking, "If only I had done this differently." I can't recommend it enough.

This is a Must Have. If you are in the market for a job or simply checking your marketability, I highly recommend this book. The ideas helped me a great deal and I got a job with the first company I interviewed with.
