The Everything Job Interview Book: All you need to make a great first impression and land the perfect job

No matter how good your resume looks on paper, you won't get the job until you ace the interview. That critical one-on-one interview is your best chance to showcase your skills-if you make a good impression. In The Everything Job Interview Book, 2nd Edition, you'll learn how to do just that-from what to wear and when to arrive, to closing words and what to write in a follow-up letter. You also get the inside scoop on how to:

• Calm pre-interview jitters
• Research potential employers
• Formulate specific questions
• Avoid common mistakes
• Answer tricky questions about salary and experience
• Keep track of interviews-the ones that went well and those that didn't
• Return to the workplace after serving in the military
• Look for a new job instead of retiring
• Conduct a professional interview over the phone, on the Web, or in a videoconference

Packed with hundreds of real-life interview questions (and the answers that employers are looking for!), this is the only book you need to nail the big interview.
