L. Hayward: I'm retired now, but I bought this book for my daughter-in-law when she moaned about interviewing for jobs. It provides the reader with the psychology behind interviewing so that you understand what the interviewer is really asking and you're never caught without an answer. It's also full of great tips. I have an older version of this book that I marked up and used for years throughout my career for both being interviewed and interviewing candidates. The entire Knock 'Em Dead series is worth reading for the young professional and it's a great addition to your library. I can't tell you how many times I've loaned my books out to job seekers, but I thought my daughter-in-law needed her own copy to mark up and make it her own. Applying the wisdom in this book will increase your skills and transform your interviewing. It will definitely put you in front of other candidates who aren't as prepared. Happy job hunting!

Daniel Ruvins: Honestly, I expected a lot more from this book, but it seemed to lack the information I needed. I'm a recent college grad, but this book targets the middle class worker that does not have a college degree and probably never went to an interview before. I was looking for formatting my answers so I do not make up my answers on the spot in my interview, but this was not satisfied. Yes, It helped a little bit, but was not worth reading this book. To add onto that, the book overcomplicates interviews which should be a strategy to steer the conversation rather than looking at each question individually and trying to answer them.

Client d'Amazon: I bought it for the negotiation part and it helped a lot. I recommend it to the ones having received a job offer and eager to maximize numbers (base salary and other compensations)

Michael J: Martin Yate shares his years of HR and Headhunting experience in helping the job seeker better prepare for their next interview. The content includes an understanding in a companies hiring decision process, how to create a target job deconstruction (TJD) to better align your skill set to what employers are looking for, best practices for a successful phone interview, dress code for men/women, body language do’s and don’ts while at the interview, a variety potential interview questions, proper follow up strategy, and negotiating the job offer.

This past year I was looking for a new job and getting in person interviews, however, I wasn’t getting offers. I was frustrated but a friend recommended I read Knock ‘Em Dead Job Interview. After reading this book, I can honestly say I felt better prepared and confident in the answers I provided hiring managers which eventually led me to getting a job offer.

A major benefit in the chapter of potential interview questions from employers, he gives brief descriptions that’ll help you understand what hiring managers are looking for in your answers. It also gives you a solid list of questions for you to ask the hiring...

Rebecca: There are lots of resources available to people on the job market. But many of them stick to focusing on applying for jobs – how to search for a good job, how to make your resume stand out, etc. It’s rare to find advice on preparing for an interview and negotiating the terms of your employment.

I was impressed by how much advice was given in this book and how many aspects of the interview preparation and process were given. From appearance to body language to maintaining your composure when the interviewer gets a little too personal, every scenario seemed to be covered. The author offered so many tips that never would have occurred to me.

This is an excellent tool to keep on hand throughout a job hunt, and even as a refresher when you’re trying to make yourself invaluable to your employer or if you’re up for a promotion. This book reminds us to maintain a sense of professionalism that seems lost on so many applicants. I am confident that I will stand out from the crowd in my future applications and interviews.
