Disastrous Interviews

No one can predict when an interview will become a disaster. Not all of the 86 million Americans seeking employment or thinking about changing jobs will experience disastrous interviews, but many will. The 134 stories in this book happened to real people. They illustrate the challenges faced by both the interviewee and those doing the interviewing. By reading about what has happened to others we can find solace, have a few chuckles and be thankful that these things happened to someone else. But most important, we can learn and grow the easy way - through someone else's experience. The stories are grouped around fifteen light-hearted and informative themes. Each chapter ends with a summary of tips based on the stories. There are also chapters on the changing job market, the metrics that drive interview decisions and practical suggestions on how to cope with a bad interview.
