Someone on this list (or maybe on Word-PC) turned me on to "Knock 'Em Dead"
by Martin Yate, which also has some excellent advice, including strategies
for ALL the questions anyone ever asks in an interview.
Mind you, nothing is perfect. My interviewing has improved. I still didn't
get the offer I wanted, but I did get an offer... which after six months of
dribs and drabs contracts, is something.
Point being: from reading the write-up of the Cohen book, I think Yate's
approach is very similar.
