 Lives up to the title. Nov 04, 2008
I used this book and found it to be an excellent resource. As stated, the author focuses on "selling yourself" during a job interview. The information is well organized and extremely beneficial. I agree with Jane Williams, after you manage to get the interview, you certainly must sell yourself in order to win the position. This book is a great resource and worth every penny I spent purchasing it.

Sell Yourself.The title says it all. Dec 18, 2006
I just had to write a review of this wonderful book after seeing the totally erroneous and misleading review that was posted here about it. I used this book to get a great job.
Let's be honest and give this book and the author a fair shake. The title says it all, "Sell Yourself: Master the Job Interview Process." That's pretty plain. The author mentions that there are many books on writing resumes and searching for jobs. She has focused on what she feels is the most important, and yet most neglected area of the job interview process and that is the lack of preparation that leads to interview failure. What is that lack of preparation? It is the failure to learn how to sell yourself that causes the interviewee to fail. How do I know this? I wrote my own resume first. Then I hired a professional to write a great resume for me. I studied "resume writing" and "finding jobs" and even "examples of interview questions" and it didn't help me during the interview at all. Why? Because you can hire someone to write a great resume for you and you can even write one yourself. However, when you show up for the interview you have to be able to perform. In other words you really have to be able to "sell yourself" to the potential employer. If you fail to do that, you will fail to get the job.
The book is very well organized and clear in purpose. It provides great information on successfully answering interview questions and winning the job. That's the goal. Win the position!
I say, way to go Jane Williams. You have given thousands of people very sound selling advice and explained how to use it to get the job of their dreams.

 Just overrated Dec 09, 2006
This book is just a collection of salesman techniques. The first chapter devote to resume writing are just a plain waste. They don't even scratch the subject and you would be better getting a book dedicated to this topic.
As for the rest, I found the content lacking of a strong organization. The author is clearly relating to her experience in the health care industry. This is why I think that the title is misleading. There are many other books on this subject and I think you can safely pass this one without missing anything important.
Not recommended given the abundant literature available on this subject.

Amazing Insight Into the Job Interview Process Jul 08, 2006
As a manager who has interviewed many people and who thought of myself as something of an expert on interviewing, I found that there was still much for me to learn. Before I applied for a promotion I thought I would pick this book up because it was inexpensive and it promised to give more than the typical "resume writing, cover letter and tips on networking" slant. I did not think that I was likely to get much from it. I was so wrong!
This is a truly amazing approach to the job interview process because this author happens to be an excellent sales person. She teaches the reader through examples and explanations exactly how to sell themselves during an interview. This is the critical performance part of the interview. The very reason I bought the book was because I was curious AND because I have caught many an interviewee off-guard and made them squirm uncomfortably during an interview.
I work in a financial servicing industry and not in sales at all and this book helped me to perform well enough during the interview that I received a promotion competing with a person that I thought would surely be promoted over me. My boss stated how impressed he was with my preparation and my interview and how surprised he was because he had not seen that side of me. If you can only buy one interview book, buy this one.

 Decent book Apr 12, 2006
The subtitle reads "Insider's Guide to the World of Pharmaceutical Sales" (enlarge the pic). Most of the book is focused on how to get a job in sales, specifically, pharmaceutical sales. It probably won't do too much good to someone who is a totally different industry.
Other than that, the book contains few good tips for both seasoned pros and recent graduates and is written in a clear and understandable way. It is worth its price but is not a jewel.
