Simple and refreshing on basic guidelines to prepare for an interview.

I loved the no jargon, practical advice of this book. It was honest and made absolute sense. As well as seasoned job hunters I also think my teenage daughters would really benefit from reading it as they start to apply for jobs. Looking forward to the next book by Fiona Setch.
Gill Satterley
A very inspiring read, full of positivity and possibilities to work on, full of practical advice and common sense. I would certainly recommend this book to anyone preparing for an interview.
Melissa Roberts
What a great book! It contains so many practical tips combined with inspiring quotations that I defy anyone who is preparing for an interview not to take away at least one invaluable gem!
Richard Nugent
An excellent resource for those who consider their interview skills to be a little 'rusty'. This is actually more than an interview skills book; it has some great tools to prepare for a range of situations.

Had a great job interview after reading this book. Made me look at things in a completely different way. Thanks Fiona you're brilliant.
Jackie Mitchell-Rayner
An essential read when preparing for an interview. As an HR professional, I will definitely be recommending it as a preparation guide. That, and a fun read too! Well done Fiona.

Practical, funny and confidence boosting. A concise and easy to apply approach. Highly recommended.
Mrs P Marron
Our oldest son is just in the process of job hunting so this arrived at just the right moment. This gets over all the things that, in theory, you know about preparing for an interview, but in practice you get overwhelmed by. Reading felt like a reassuring hand guiding you through a check list to success! And strangely our son paid much more attention to Fiona than us! Thank you!
Julie Stewart
Great book covering step by step what you need to do to secure your next job. Well written with thoughtful insights and some useful quotations.
