Review: What Color is Your Parachute: Guide to Rethinking Interviews

      I received a free copy of What Color is Your Parachute: Guide to Rethinking Interviews from Blogging for Books in order to review. I think this is a really great little book.  I do not have much interview experience. I tend to stay in a job forever. However, I am on the cusp of a career change and envision getting more practice than I may have ever anticipated.
      Interviews are more than a little terrifying. I do not excel at selling myself.  However, this guide tells you there is MORE to the interview than selling yourself. It gives great tips on what questions to expect during the interview, what is the underlying reason for some of the questions asked, and what questions you need to ask the interviewer.  This is just to name a few of the very useful tips in this guide.
      With a list price of under $13.00 and 112 pages, there is no great investment of time or money. I feel this guide can improve your interview skills, and consequently your chances of landing the job if for no other reason than giving you an idea of what to expect during an interview.  You can put together answers for what will most likely be asked and plan a strategy for getting information from your prospective employer. All in all, I think this is a nice little book to have on hand for any job seeker.
