I am a professional book editor. I work for Penguin Books and HUGEOrange. The #1 Interview Playbook was fantastic. The tips and information were spot on. Great flow and personality in the writing.

I am a Strategic Recruitment Leader & Career Coach. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone, not just people who are inexperienced with the interview process. This book is a great guide, with easy to follow tips and suggestions.
