Interviewing Quick Guide

Author Drew Becker's book, Interviewing Quick Guide: The Art and the Craft is a wonderful book. What separates this book from many of the other books on the same subject is its down to earth and easy to read writing style. Drew is a pragmatist which is easy to see from the start to the end of the book. He guides the reader on the best way to conduct an interview and to get the information you need from someone to get the real facts. There is a talent to writing a book like this in that as a reader you never like to get the feeling an author is rigidly pushing their own techniques. I really got the impression in reading this book that the author was saying trust your own instincts. The book can serve as a guide to assist you in becoming a more thorough interviewer. It is loaded with tips based on the research and practical experience that Drew Becker has gained over the many years of his very successful business career. By Bernie Ashman, author of SignMates, Intuition and Your Sun Sign, and Sun Signs and Past LivesAs a lead teacher heading a team of seven people, I am often called upon to interview candidates who seek positions at our school. Athough my interviews are private and not recorded or publicized, I found the information in this book to be very helpful in outlining the communication skills necessary to carry out a successful job interview. This consists of introducing the candidates to the unique programs we have in our school, but more importantly to ask open-ended questions that elicit the interviewee's response about his or her qualifications, interests, strong and weak points, and compatibility with our environment. Bravo to Mr. Becker for reminding me in this book of some of the most effective techniques of the interviewing process! By Dinah ChetritWhat an outstanding, comprehensive guide! The author did not forget a thing! This helped me to know how to prepare - the types of questions to ask - what I will need for the interview - how to treat the guest - what to do after the interview - and all the things needed in order to have and make use of a successful interview!
