Question 3

3). Pick one other concept in the book that you feel needs further discussion?

I think one important concept that should be further discussed is interview skills. There is not too much information about how to conduct and interview or even what to disclose within an interview. Especially right of college, new grads easily become nervous and unsure about what to say or not to say. I work in the HR and Staffing Dept at my company and I can tell when speaking to both experienced or inexperienced candidates that simple things like posture, tone, words or even how they carry them selves says a lot about who they are and motivation.

I had a few interviews this week and usually in the first 5 to 10 minutes of the interview, you can already get an impression of who someone is. It's like the saying goes, "you don't get a second chance at a first impression".
