Book Chat - Interviewing Tips

Do you have Sweaty Palms? Interview like a pro.

“’It wasn’t [the Beatles’] music that sold them to me; it was their charm.’ George Martin, producer of the Beatles’ first record.”  So reads the epigraph to a brand new book in our library.  Author H. Anthony Medley is one of the foremost experts on the art of the interview.  And what makes him thus?  As he tells us in his preface: “Because while I’ve conducted thousands of interviews, both selection and screening, most of the other writers of books on the interview don’t claim to have conducted as many as one!”  This book, originally published in 1977, and now updated, was the first book of its kind aimed at the interviewee rather than the interviewer.  It was the result of a need Medley saw in the market for just such a book and was based on his own observations from running a videotape interviewing service, as well as practical experience running his own law firm and real estate business. 

The book is filled with real life examples of a variety of interviewing situations and covers every step of the process: from preparing, types of interviews, questions, confidence and dress -- to honesty, assumptions and mannerisms of speech.  Anthony Medley assures us that “Sweaty Palms will prepare you to enter the interview room with the confidence that you can answer any question thrown at you, from your own experience in your own words.”  Read this book and see for yourself!
