“My apologies, Nick. Would love to give you five stars on this book, since it truly is a tour de force about how candidates (especially at the executive level) should prepare themselves for the modern interview process, but as a professional career coach, I simply can't agree that all candidates should job hunt without a resume and focus their search efforts entirely on a small handful of potential target companies. This beef aside, however, you've written some great things here. This book is a much-needed wakeup call about the competitiveness of interviewing today and about the heroic measures that people should go to in order to give themselves the best fighting chance of landing a plum assignment. Simply put, the vast majority of job seekers spend about 10% as much time as they should preparing for interviewing opportunities and thinking through the ideas/tactics they could use to "wow" the employer and stand out from the crowd. So this book is one I hand out frequently as an "espresso shot" of inspiration as my clients approach the interview circuit. Thanks for keeping it real and telling it like it is!”
