Additional preparation is needed for interviews, and of course there is more at stake for both participants—you’re talking about a possible career change, not just the possibility of watching the game together on Sunday. This book will help you make the preparations necessary to keep that conversation focused, productive, and pleasant, so that you can keep your wits about you even when the stakes seem alarmingly high. Also sprinkled throughout the book are real-life anecdotes to help you keep the interview recommendations in perspective. No one gets it exactly right all the time, and yet interviewees almost always live to tell the tale—and sometimes land the job, to boot.
