101 risposte vincenti per il colloquio di lavoro

This book was recommended to me by a friend of mine while we were talking about internships, job applications, and that sort of general process. I bought it in November but haven’t really had the time to devote to it (I saw some worksheets and figured it was more of a “dedicate-some-time-to-this” bo Leggi tutto

A nice quick read, explains and goes through common interview questions that can either set you in good grace or get you off an employer's hiring list. I guess it can be helpful to some people.

I read this book in prepping for an interview, but it is good to read it even if you're just updating your resume/CV.

I don’t know if this book helped me at all. There was one chapter about someone like me (22 year old just out of college looking for entry level position).
