All I have to say is...."WOW!!", 2008-10-05
Within the last few minutes, I finished reading this extraordinary book. I am currently employed and trying to upgrade myself so at first I didnt think the first part of the book i.e. job hunting would interest me much. Boy was I wrong! This book is so comprehensive and entertaining, I couldnt put it down. The sequence of the book could not be laid out any better. Upon completion of the book I already feel armed with a new sense of knowledge and empowerment about the whole interviewing and job changing process, that I am acutually quite anxious to start practicing. Even for someone brand new to the job hunting and interviewing process, this book is worth it's weight in gold. I honestly didnt know how much I didnt know about this thing called interviewing until now. And the worst part is I have conducted many interviews. Hows that for an oximoron. The section in the back of the book has several different tools for the reader and future interviewee to use as preparation for success. Its as if all a person has to do is connect the dots and the doors of knowledge will fling open. I will be wearing the pages of this book out over the next several days as I personally have what I consider one of the biggest interviews of my life coming up. And trust me I am already planning on how to make this one a great one. I will be updating this review as I practice and learn more. Which brings up another amazing point about this book. It provides the reader with a scope of reading that you can refer back to again and again. Anyone looking for a great interview/job hunting resource book. This is absolutely the one to get. Happy reading.

Money well spent !!!, 2006-06-16
This book was definitely money well spent. I have interviewed and accepted jobs previously in my career (10yrs in my profession), but have never been as prepared as I was after reading this book. I used it from the start of the job hunt process to accepting the best overall offer. Reading the book helped ease pre-interview anxiety, and also helped me prepare for interviews by providing a good idea of what to expect, how to prepare, and how to answer difficult questions, etc. The sections I found most helpful were on generating multiple offers, and negotiating after the initial offer. I used Dr Powers advice on both, and was able to generate multiple offers and negotiate significantly higher salary and vacation time. Well worth the money and I would recommend this book to anyone currently on the job hunt.

Eliminate "the fever," ace the interview & get the job, 2006-01-30
I've been on both sides of the job interview process: as someone doing the hiring and also as a candidate for a job. It is amazing how being on the job hunt alters your view of the interview process. Did I develop some kind of "interview fever" which made me overly nervous and forget what it was like to hire someone? Maybe. But reading Winning Job Interviews allowed me to step back and put it all back into proper perspective so I could ace the interview and get the job. How cool is that?

Must Read prior to going to any interview, 2005-06-14
Clear, direct, concise.
The first 40 pages will tell you what you really know: how you feel. And how to deal with it. With an upbeat language helps you decrease your anxiety and depression. And further, MOTIVATE you.
Then clear clues on how to behave, conduct, and win interviews.
I wish he could avoid some areas of job searching and closing to have more material on the topic.
But IT IS A MUST READ.
