Two more sources for job hunters. Both are
useful, affordable guides to the interview process with different
focuses. Fry’s emphasis on one aspect of the procedure, the one-on-one
interview (i.e., the selection rather than the screening), in a
question-and-answer format offers a fresh, active approach to a timely
subject. After two introductory chapters of guidelines, the author
identifies the toughest themes of a successful encounter and provides
proven responses in clear, readable text. In a revision of his
comprehensive classic Sweaty Palms ( LJ 7/78), Medley updates his how-to
handbook of job interviewing techniques, emphasizing skills and
strategic planning. Although still verbose, the guide, however, gives
full explanations of a wide coverage of tips from preparation and salary
negotiation to issues of sex in the workplace and the handling of
questions of discrimination. Most helpful are summary checklists at the
end of each chapter for easy scanning and four appendixes, including
more than 200 commonly asked questions and questions to ask of the
interviewer. For career collections.
