Getting Ready for the Job Interview

The Job Interview Simplified delineates resume tips, appropriate attire, thought-provoking questions to ask interviewers, dining etiquette, and many more interviewing tidbits.

Are you worried about what to wear? How to act? What to ask? This book is for you! The book discusses all those thoughts in your head before and how to feel confident and ready for your job interview. 

At the end of every interview, the interviewer always asks "Do YOU have any questions?". This book gives you lots of great ideas of questions to ask to make a positive and lasting impression!


This book has received wonderful reviews and we believe it is an excellent supplemental tool for both students who are seeking gainful employment.
