From the Inside Flap

This guide has been written by senior managers, all of whom have extensive experience of interviewing and being interviewed. In fact, during the past 15 years they have interviewed over 3,000 people collectively for a range of positions and organisations. They have seen applicants who look perfect on paper but through a lack of experience and preparation, perform so poorly at the interview they miss out on the job offer.

They know what works and doesn t work in the interview room and having been interviewed many times themselves know exactly how it feels from both sides of the desk. They have combined all their learning into this great volume and provide the essential information you will need to ace any job interview irrespective of the level or industry.
