You might be a good judge of character, but when it comes to hiring, going
by your "gut" is not always advisable, at least not according to career coach
Lorenza Clifford. In fact, she warns that doing so could cost you time and
money, and even worse, land you in a courtroom. In this handy little guidebook,
Clifford breaks down the essentials of the interview, a pivotal aspect of the
selection process. She succinctly details the process from composing the best
set of questions and handling different types of interview conditions to making
a job offer (or deciding not to). Clifford identifies common pitfalls,
particularly lack of objectivity.

She summarizes each chapter and provides links to related Web sites. However,
for a book devoted to interviewing, it is strangely shy of a softer, human
element. Still, it is, by and large, both practical and solid. getAbstract
thinks you'll find this quick, instructive manual very useful as a short
course on the art of the interview.
