Why Shouldn’t We Hire You
D. Endress & R. Venckus
Review by Nancy Smetanka
Why Shouldn’t We Hire You by David Endress and Ron Venckus is a wonderfully
detailed guide for successful job searches and career management. Readers will
find valuable ideas, insights into interviewers’ minds, and structured exercises to
assist in managing the anxieties inherent in interviewing and job searches.
Readers who need step-by-step preparation will be delighted by crystal-clear
instructions on how to examine one’s marketable skills while guiding
interviewees to an appropriate interview mind set in the first half of the book.
The second half continues to serve the novice while being organized to serve
those who only need refreshers in specific areas. The authors’ references to
other related parts of the book are a valuable time-saving feature. Noted
websites and other recommended resources are artfully limited and welcome
sources of additional information.
Readers in any phase of their career will find value in advice to ‘focus, research,
and practice’ the details of self and possible employers. The outlines that
facilitate these exercises, e.g., Coaches Corner IX, X, and XI, are an effective
avenue to complete job-search preparedness.
