I got the job! This is the best book I've read for interviewing........2006-07-15
Simply put, I got the job. I believe a significant part of it was from what I learned by reading Green's insightful book. Over 200 pages, it was packed with useful information like the four types of interviewers. It contains mnemonics and concrete exercises (in the form of fill in the blank worksheets and surveys) that help you get to know your own skills best so you can sell yourself well. Paul C. Green is a good writer and compounds his solid experience in HR and corporate psychology with delightful wit and meaningful anecdotes.
Moreover, my confidence soared since I was not so anxious about how I was being judged in interviews anymore. I knew I was giving a good representation of myself and I knew how to answer questions. I used to fumble when "gut feel" interviewers started off by skimming my resume, simply asking, "tell me about yourself." Now I knew exactly what to say and how to say it.
Green's book does not contain any canned lines that zing your interviewer, as there's no such easy gimmick like that. Rather, Green helps you hone your own personal approach to help interviewers see you for what you really are. You then rehearse your own specific behavioral-interview examples that demonstrate your merit. They'll know your skills and experience. In addition, Green helps you answer the "tough" questions and coaches you to manage the whole meeting, including body language and the interview small-talk. They'll feel confident hiring you.
The book was an easy read, too; I whizzed through this book in two days. If you get only one book, this is the one. I would also recommend getting books for writing resumes and cover letters specific to your industry. I had been trying to get the job as a high school math teacher for nearly two years, and now I've landed it. Get this book! Good luck and hang in there job seekers!
Get Hired.......2005-07-19
I found this book incredibly helpful in preparing for a recent job interview. It forced me to focus on what strengths I possess and wanted to highlight during the interview process. It also helped me understand the most important strengths/skills companies are looking for today - resilience and flexibility.
Great coach, book! Boosts your EQ+IQ........2001-06-23
I got this book to streamline my emotions, find the motivation, assume a positive spirit in my search for a new job. Helped much.
EQ. Emotional Quotient. The author is definitely a Ph.D. in Psychology. He is good. He makes it all sound natural, reasonable, approachable, doable. Provides motivation in simple human terms. Discusses fear, hopes, competition, courage, determination, anxiety, self-steem.
IQ. Intellectual Quotient. The book expands the scope and effectiveness of your analytic capacity applied to the job-search process. The book gives you a simple working methodology to visualize and analyze what is fundamental to find a job.
Whatever you do, before you start selling you to employers, do sell yourself the idea of buying a job, of finding a good job that you will enjoy at a company that will truly help you grow.
After reading this book I felt like finding a million jobs. LOL.

Working proof of 'Get Hired'.......2001-03-27
I am a recent college grad who came across this book at the public library. I had spent the past four months unemployed so I decided to read this book to resuscitate my career-hunt. This book was a tremendous help. Dr. Green writes in a practical manner which is enjoyable to read. His strategies and advice are clearly applicable to an entire interview, including what to do after. I really enjoyed 'Get Hired' because of its effectiveness. Most interview books focus on the questions, but rather than chase after questions this book focuses on the source, the interviewer. By understanding the interviewer, we can understand what questions they are likely to ask, what they are looking for, and then how to answer the question. This strategy is very flexible in adapting to an interviewer, rather than solidifying in answering specific questions. Also, 'Get Hired' has a pratical, in-depth process for readers to write out our job and life experiences. I found this process so easy and enjoyable that by the time I finished I had a lot of well, developed experiences, some of which I had almost forgotten. With this multitude of clear, developed experiences it enables readers to answer any question while highlighting a benefit to the employer. Another, strategy of 'Get Hired' I really like is how readers are shown how to guide the interview and questions. This book teaches how to take questions and to direct them where we want them, which is towards our proven experiences. Also, it shows how to answer a question which will then lead to another desirable question. This strategy was so effective when I interviewed that I knew which question would be asked next by how I guided it. In fact, by studying this book and practicing it I did great on my next interview where I had five interviewers, two of them were participating through a phone conference. With each question I followed the strategies from 'Get Hired' and answered with a proven experience, while guiding the next question. The entire interview was right where I wanted it to be and through my answers I was able to keep it there. After the interview, my potential supervisor came up to me, shook my hand, and said, "If it was up to me, I'd hire you right now". I got hired to my current position. I am the youngest employee ever hired at this organization and I beat out over forty applicants, many of whom had more years of experience and education. But through my relevant experiences which were enhanced through 'Get Hired' I was proven the best candidate.

Customer Reviews:
LOVE POEMS? LOVE, SICK IN THREE-QUARTERS TIME.......2003-01-27
This "poems" in this thin volume are actually love songs ..,. such popular ditties as "I Honestly Love You," "Sometimes When We Touch," "Take My Breath Away," "Islands in the Stream," "Like a Virgin" and "Hooked on a Feeling." What a gimmick. What a rip-off. The performers who sang the songs are credited (the actual composers and lyricists are listed in the back of the book), presumably because names like "Madonna" and "Olivia Newton-John" are much familiar (and more marketable) than "Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly" and "Stephen Kipner and Terry Shaddick." Hot stuff? Please. Don't make me feel guilty. Even for the hot bloodied, the glory of love featured here is bad medicine. Originality, more than words, is still the one. I can't fight this feeling of ... up-chucking.
Great for fans of 70s and 80s love songs.......2002-10-31
My girlfriend gave me this book for our 4-month anniversary because she knows I'm a big Fred Schneider fan. I kind of wish that his introduction was longer but the rest of this book was great, esp. the Air Supply poem: "Every time I see you / all the rays of the sun / are streaming through the waves in your hair / and every star in the sky / is taking aim at your eyes / like a spotlight." God, they just don't write 'em like they used to.
I can't fight this feeling--that this book is hilarious!.......2002-10-19
A fabulous, hilarious gift for anyone who ever lived through the cheesy love songs of the 70s and 80s.
