Why Shouldn’t We Hire You
by David R. Endress and Ronald B. Venckus
Review written by Corinne Hill



Why Shouldn’t We Hire You, written by David Endress and Ronald Venckus,
explains in exceptional detail the dos and don’ts of the pre-interviewing through
negotiation processes. The methods they recommend the job-seeker use are
applicable and helpful to anyone at any point in their career. The topics
discussed in this book wound undoubtedly boost the job-seeker’s chances of
making an excellent and professional first impression and help him or her
successfully maneuver through phone screenings, interviews, and negotiations
with greater confidence and a better understanding of how to prepare
themselves.

Why Shouldn’t We Hire You is divided into two sections both of which are filled
with real-life examples that make the concepts presented “hit home” with the
reader. The “Thoughts to Hold” sections found at the end of each chapter in the
first section of the  book are an outstanding way to review the most important
points presented and to help the reader assess whether or not they fully
understand what they have read. The second section of the book entitled
“Coaches Corner” encourages the reader to apply what they have learned in the
first section to even more real-life examples of what they may encounter during
an interview, as well as reviewing the most important points of the book to
ensure maximum reader retention and understanding.

Why Shouldn’t We Hire You is a quick read and provides invaluable information
about what readers should do to prepare themselves for an interview. The book
is well-organized and full of examples of what to expect during an interview and
how to make a positive, lasting first impression on potential employers. It is an
excellent read for anyone who is seeking to strengthen their interviewing and
negotiating skills, thus increasing their chances of success in their career path.
This book is sure to give a competitive edge to first-time and seasoned job-
seekers alike.
