Why you should read Getting Interviews
Kate Wendleton, an authority on job searches and career development, discusses techniques for getting interviews once you focus on your target job market. After a brief overview of the job-hunting process, she explains how to obtain interviews by networking effectively and building relationships. She discusses how to do mailings, answer ads, use interviews productively, work with search firms, develop phone skills and create a well-organized campaign. The book suffers from some repetition among chapters and some overlap with Wendleton’s Building a Great Resume, especially in the beginning of both books. Great Resume offers more information about assessing your career path than the present volume, a solid, basic book apparently geared to the relatively inexperienced job hunter seeking a novice to mid-level position. getAbstract.com recommends the book’s well-organized strategic overview to most job seekers, with the caveat that high level executives and managers may already know much of the material.
