Your first interview (4th Edition)

Description

This informative handbook lets a first-time job hunter know what is needed to land a job.

It shows how to find information about a company, gives examples of resumes, explains how to get an interview, discusses behavior during the interview, and suggests follow-ups. Comprehensive, thorough, and reassuring.
The purpose of Your First Interview is to ease anxiety at a time that’s usually characterized by sweaty palms and pounding hearts.

Whether unemployment is at a record high or record low and the country’s at war or at peace- these factors have little to do with the task at hand- the fact that the reader is facing their very first job interview and they need to get ready.

Teaches you how to take charge of the interviewing process-to make sure you’re sold on the company, and to assure that the company is sold on you.

Ron Fry is the best-selling author of 101 Great Answers to the Toughest Interview Questions and the brand-new edition of Your First Interview, two of the more than 40 books he has written.

He is an acknowledged authority and frequent speaker and seminar leader on a wide variety of job-search topics at schools and associations nationwide.
