"Looking for a helpful book to get you through the job interview process? One of my favorites is 'Knock 'em Dead' by Martin Yate. He has updated and revised this book several times through the years. My favorite part of the book is the answers and background description he provides to readers for responding to interviewer questions. It's a book that helped me get over saying 'duh' when interviewers said to me...'so tell me something about yourself.'"
