Editorial Review: Product Description: According to Myers-Briggs test results, 25 percent of the population is introverted. Career experts believe that many introverts know what to do to find a new job, but won't - or can't - do what it takes because they fear talking to strangers, looking foolish, or being rejected. The Career Coward's Guide to Interviewing helps insecure job seekers combat these fears when facing a job interview. This book analyzes each aspect of a successful interview and provides easy steps for facing self doubts and challenges in a unique and easy-to-tackle format. Readers will learn to think about risk, payoff potential, time to complete, and a bailout strategy for all the obstacles one may face. Career coach Katy Piotrowski brings her expertise to JIST's brand-new Career Cowards series to help readers sell their qualifications without "bragging", develop courageous responses to tough questions, and have the courage to ask for a better salary offer. While other books certainly give strategies for a successful interview, this is one of the few guides that actually addresses the level of discomfort and awkwardness many people feel when trying to present themselves as an outstanding job candidate. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Prepared for AnythingEasy to read with great advice whether you're interviewing for the first time or the 50th. The specific examples cited in the 'Career Champ Profiles' are especially helpful and interesting. Guaranteed to make you feel like you did your homework and you're prepared for anything! Rating: - You don't have to be a coward to like this bookAs a career consultant, I work mostly with mid-life, mid-career professionals who are most definitely not cowards. But I would still recommend this book. First, I like the way Piotrowski suggests solid answers to tough questions. Most interview questions are pretty dumb but you have to keep a straight face and answer them anyway. (Like the time someone half your age asks, "What are your strengths?" Gimme a break. I want to say, "I survived.") Second, Chapter 5 ("Put muscle ... Read More Rating: - Wish I Read It Sooner!This book has been tremendously helpful! I'm a freelance graphic designer and lately many hiring managers have taken to interviewing instead of just meeting for a portfolio review. So I had to learn how to interview ASAP. And I am so incredibly grateful this book existed. The step by step tips really did help me overcome my fears about interviewing and the tips about following up worked! The hardest and most rewarding section was the "What, How, Proof" stories; being prepared made a world ... Read More Rating: - Coward no longer...Katy's book, The Career Coward's Guide to Interviewing, played a strategic role in helping me land the job of my dreams! It helped empower me and give me a confidence (that, in the past was lacking) when I faced the daunting task of sitting before a panel of interviewers. Rating: - Got a new career on first interview after reading this book!!This was the perfect book for me. I was the ultimate "career coward" so it really made sense to me as I read the book and started preparing for my interview. This book could not have been more helpful and I felt incredibly prepared and confident going into my interview knowing that I had put the work in and practiced my responses. I got an offer 2 weeks after my first interview and I'm so grateful that I had this book as a research tool! I have recommended this book to everyone I know!
