Why Shouldn't We Hire You
by David Endress and Ronald Venckus
Review by Alice Nielsen
/Why Shouldn't We Hire You/ is a how-to guide for anyone preparing to
interview. The book focuses on crucial points; know the company, know
yourself, be prepared, and explains in depth how to accomplish each one.
While some concepts are not new, the manner in which they are presented
is enlightening and emphasizes the importance of each step in the
interview process.
The book doesn't stop with simple interviewing skills. Possible problems
that may arise are explored and solutions given. The Briefing Book is a
tool that will ensure knowledge of the company and demonstrates an
attention to detail sure to impress - know the company. The SARB concept
provides a method of analyzing one's strengths and weaknesses in past
performance as well as in personal behaviors - know yourself. Sample
interview questions provide insight on how an interviewer thinks. Guides
on presenting yourself, when to talk, when to listen, what to emphasize,
what not to say - be prepared. How to market yourself, evaluating job
offers, negotiating a satisfactory agreement, it's all here and
explained in detail.
Written in a clear and concise manner, the book is easily read and
understood. Tips and techniques abound. Anecdotes and humor interspersed
throughout drive points home. Each chapter ends with a section "Thoughts
To Hold", key points covered in the chapter. Practical, useful,
detailed information designed to help the reader build confidence and be
successful. /Why Shouldn't We Hire You/ is a positive, well-written
guide for the new job seeker as well as those who have trod this path
before.
