What You Should Know About Business for Your Interview

an effect on them.
As you can probably imagine, I quite like my book,
How to Prepare For an Employment Interview.
Apparently other people did too, since the printed edition has sold out. You
can still get a copy today by e-mail at a much lower price than the book sold for in stores. Order your copy here...
Another book that's very good is Tom Washington's
Interview Power. You shouldn't have
any trouble finding that one locally. Steer away from Martin Yate's bestselling
books and from anyone who gives you canned generic answers to parrot mindlessly.
