Since 1978, SWEATY PALMS has been the book job-hunters turn to when they need to prepare for a job interview. This newly revised edition presents job interviewing techniques tailored to the challenging business world of the 1990s. The new tips and strategies in this edition come from the author's experience in counseling job-hunters and employers, as well as the many letters he received from fans of the first edition. Topics covered include:
+ Preparation: How a properly prepared interviewee can subtly take control of an interview, make sure their strengths shine through, and leave a lasting positive impression.
+ Presentation: Tips for dressing, making small talk (more important than most job-hunters imagine), and coming across as an honest, confident, and immediately employable candidate.
+ Sexual Harassment and Discrimination: How to anticipate and handle those "questionable questions"... and when to avoid answering them entirely. Includes special new material for women and older job applicants.
+ Negotiation: What to do after you get a job offer, including professional, unthreatening ways to negotiate the best possible salary and benefits package.
