Pros of Book

This is still another book that is developed as much to be a motivator as it is to assist you gets a job. It does have several different tips, and few of the ideas you find within the book are going to be new to those that have little experience job hunting. Each chapter is broken down into something you should “Do” and an explanation of why you should do it. The organization is beneficial for some, and it can be fun to read for a job interview book.

Cons of Book

The book has been guerilla marketed across the Internet, so it is famous. Yet overall the content is immensely difficult to read. Allen throws words around that merely serve to confuse the reader, and while there are few interesting tips within the book, the odd way they are presented takes away from their overall point. The book is established for graduates with little job experience, which is helpful, but it is also written as though it is going to be read by graduates, and as any young person will tell you – when you attempt to write to youth, you just sound silly.

General Impression

As usual with these kinds of job books, it is conveniently possible that you’ll get something out of it, particularly if you’ve little job interview experience. Yet the writing in “Instant Interviews: 101 Ways to Get the Best Job of Your Life” is off putting, and can make it very complicated to understand the overarching points, specifically to younger employees. There is certain useful stuff in there, but much of it is lost. If you find one for cheap, might be it is worth a read, but there are better books out there.
