by Katharine Hansen

This Quick and Quintessential Guide is designed as an overview of the process of job interviewing – from the job-seeker’s perspective. It’s a guide for beginners, a refresher for those who haven’t interviewed in a long time, and an outline for teachers, career counselors/coaches, and those who assist inexperienced interviewees.

It is especially for students, entry-level workers, people returning to the workforce, and anyone lacking recent experience in job interviewing.

The first five chapters of the guide are presented in the form of questions and answers about interviewing. The Appendix contains five sections providing in-depth information about significant aspects of interview preparation, along with a Job Interview Checklist that offers a quick review of essentials for prospective interviewees.
