 WOW!!! I finally have a job!! February 23, 2006
18 out of 18 found this review helpful
I highly recommend this great book for anyone looking for a job. I was unemployed for 2 years and getting interviews for only mediocre jobs and no offers. I bought this book and saw the mistakes I was making. The best jobs aren't even advertised and I was giving all the wrong answers at interviews. I took Martin Yates' advice and got 3 interviews in 1 week at great companies. His advice on what to say, and especially what not to say, gave me the confidence to handle myself better at interviews. After 2 years of unemployment, I finally landed my dream job in my preferred field. I will definately keep his book on hand and I advise anyone looking for a first time job or a better job to read it. Thank you Martin Yates!!

I have the '96 Edition of this same book and have used it so many times. I purchased the 2005 edition thinking I would be gaining more information. Although what's in there has been updated, the sections I referred to most in the '96 edition were the same. However as a first time user I'd highly recommend this resource.
THE Book on Getting THAT Job!!! March 12, 2005
15 out of 16 found this review helpful
I am ordering this latest version to just have it nearby when I advise fellow job seekers on how to get hired.
While I am very happy in the job I have now, I have used Yate's book twice. The first time was a decade ago when I pulled a much older version of this book off my parents bookshelf and landed my first job.
2 jobs later, I was making 40k in my own business with 45k in expenses. I sold my business and used Yate's book to land my next job starting at 125k.
It's just that simple - This book is that good!!! Yate's techniques for interview preparation and actual interview taking are inspired and easy to understand.
I wowed my potential employer with my abilities and landed a salary far beyond my expectations - and it is a direct result of Yate's book.
If you want a better job paying top $, buy this book and follow it whether your making 5,6,or 7 figures!
signed, one satisfied customer!

This is a great book for anyone who is looking for a job or planning to make a career change. It is a great resource for those who are looking for advice and insights into interviews questions. The highlight of the book is answers to tough interview questions. I very strongly recommend the book for anyone who is actively looking for a job. It is equally helpful to the novice job seeker and the experienced job seeker. I have recommended this book to over 500 graduating students over the years and the feedback from everyone has been very positive.

Yate's books about interviews are the ideal companion books to Bolles' annual "What Color is Your Parachute." This book not only provides good verbiage for difficult questions during an interview; it also provides a checklist of body language and the rationale for using same. It helps decode certain nonverbal behaviors, e.g. putting one's hands behind their head causes one to appear smug and arrogant.
Yate also provides a check list of appropriate attire and stresses the importance of good hygiene and good grooming. He cultivates a professional appearance, yet writes with a sense of humor, e.g. "nobody appreciates a Monday morning quarterback," in re offering advice to an interviewer as a moot point.
An excellent tool and one every job hunter should keep at close hand. While on an interview, you might want to keep a copy of this in your briefcase so you can refer to it as a refresher prior to your interview.
