This is going to be a book that I have dog-eared, worn-covered, and close at hand. The interview personality section and the offer negotiation sections were incredibly helpful. The conversational style of the writing makes it a very easy read. I found that I was enjoying it and laughing at things like the bridge game analogy. I picked this book up while writing another review and I have to say it is an awesome find.
