Nothing could be more timely in today's job market than a "how to" on mastering the art of the interview. In the first major revision of his classic, America's leading interview authority presents proven advice on the A to Zs of successful interviewing.

Now more than ever, this completely revised and updated edition will be the essential tool for millions of underemployed and unemployed people.
