"The Treasure Hunt...A complete Guide to Interviewing" by Brain P.Carey is actually a self-help 'workbook' and is arguably, "The only way to find your dream job." It may or may not be the only way but is certainly a good way to land one's dream job. In the short space of about 70+ pages, Carey does a good job of charting a course for you to follow to reach your goal of happiness through a good career, not just a good job.
In true work-book style, the author gives detailed instructions and a clear roadmap for a prospective candidate to land a job of one's choice. It is also an activity book, a fun book.
Each Chapter is a Clue, there are eight in all. It starts logically with discovering oneself through goals and ends again logically with a conclusion that the whole process is a self- discovery. In between, Strength & Weakness analysis, Industry Research, Selection of a Company, The Right Career, Getting the Interview and General Interviews/Q&A Theory are the ingredients.
All in all, it is a good book. It would have been a much better book if real life examples, actual transcripts were given.
The book deserves better editing than what it received. Poorly costructed sentences and actual typos are noticed, which it is hoped will be corrected especially since the book is published using Trafford's POD technology and thus lends itself to editing.
