In today's hiring marketplace, so many of those who interview for positions
absolutely miss the mark because they consider the interview to be a "show and
tell" about either themselves or their tasks they've performed at their jobs. What
most major corporations seek today is a person who is a good fit for their culture
and working environment. Harmony is critical to team success. Ron's book looks at
behavioral interviewing and the secrets to presentation that demonstrate to the
company that you are not only a fit but that you understand yourself and how to
communicate that to others. This book is a first class example of interviewing
excellence at its best.

I enjoyed reading Why Shouldn't We Hire You by Endress and Venckus.

During an employment interview, anticipating and being aware of possible
questions certainly improves a candidate's mental state and self-confidence.
Endress and Venckus help prepare you for that critical initial contact by looking at
you from the employer's perspective.

This book is an excellent tool for college graduates in preparing for the daunting
interview process they may be faced with from prospective employers.

Good reading.

exponentially realistic.
