Comments About the Book
Your book ... is, in my opinion, the ultimate book on interviewing! You did
a magnificent job with it, integrating wonderful tips and insights, great
ideas for planning and experiencing an interview and it is as current as can
be, with on-the-make reference sites and groups. I am honored to be part of
what I think is a hallmark book, since in the 26 years I have been coaching
executives as well as teaching others how to do the same, no book compares.
During the economic crisis, executive-level employees often face a longer
interview process and a more intense vetting process. This book helps those
execs distinguish themselves.
