It helps for interview

I picked up my first copy of this book in 1994 and bought a few revisions over the years. My wife and I have used it throughout our careers and found it essential to preparing for interviews.

Landed my dream job!

This was a useful read to think about interviewing. To date, the preparation was a bit overkill for the 4 interview that I have conducted, but it did help me prepare my thoughts and considerations. Additionally, it opened my eyes to potential pitfalls in answering some questions.The advise on dress and attire is a good starting point but may vary greatly with specific organizations - speaking with current employees is a huge help.If you are in the job market, I think this is a must read.
