Customer Reviews:
Not as good as the reviewers have indicated.......2007-10-06
I purchased this book about a year ago and put it to use in the last 2 weeks with 7 interviews. The feedback I gained from the reviewers was much better than most of the information I gleaned from the book.
It is important that no one, while searching for a job, use the answers in the book. Apparently they are wrote and are fully expected by the interviewers. The real thing to learn from the book is to begin with an example but always lead into how you learned from whatever the incident was and bring that to what you have accomplished with what you learned.
Overall I am not unhappy I bought the book, but it will not be a book I keep as a reference.
The best book for your interview.......2007-07-17
I found this book to be an excellent reading to prepare for an interview. All the chapters are important and to the point. I prepared for two interviews with this book and the interviewers were impressed with me. The recommendation of knowing as much as you can about the industry, company and job is priceless. I went as far as to prepare a marketing report on one interview. Good book, buy it, it is definetely worth the money.
Very useful, one for the permanent bookshelf.......2007-06-04
Used this extensively when preparing for interviews during first year of MBA-landed multiple offers, not just because of this book but it surely helped. I have found it useful even for changing jobs (not just useful for recent graduates as one reviewer said). Came back to Amazon to purchase yet another copy as I have given away two previous copies I owned. Best best, flip through it in a store like Barnes and Noble and if you like it, come buy online...
One of the best practical guides ever.......2007-05-27
I digested the book, and did everything Dr. Leanne recommended. I tested it by researching an industry I had no experience with, and landed an interview even though no jobs were on offer. I had spent about 6 weeks reading everything I could and prepared all the interview questions in the second section of the book. It turned out that I was more knowledgeable about the company than the manager who interviewed me, so it turned out to be a very strange experience. First, he resented that a senior manager sent him to interview me. He then yelled at me several times, and accused me of lying about white papers that the company had released.
After that exciting interview, I am convinced that this is one of the best practical books I've ever read. Where else can you find a book that tells you exactly how to upstage a senior manager with 13 years of industry experience?
Great book.......2006-08-20
After reading this book I actually got a job after over a year. It helped me a lot with my interview technique which pretty much did not exist. The book is arranged in such a way that if certain questions don't relate to your profession you can just skip through it. The questions are clear (and many familiar) and the responses sound like real people talking and can be easily modified to suit your profession. Anyone who hs been without a job for a long time or short will find this book quite helpful.

Book Description
The 2nd edition of this clinically based guidebook that focuses on the initial psychiatric interview provides practical suggestions for analyzing and altering the interview to mesh with the specific needs of the patient. Contains detailed discussions of how to open an interview, how to interpret nonverbal communication, how to make more natural transitions, and how to arrive at accurate diagnoses. Offers special techniques for eliciting information from depressed, psychotic, and personality-disordered patients. This edition presents updated DSM-IV criteria, new strategies in suicide assessment, and an annotated interview section accompanied by sample write-ups with tips in the appendix.

Buy it. Read it. Give it to your students........2004-03-18
It is difficult to overstate my enthusiasm for this book as a resource for students and practioners alike. Clearly written, simply organized, accessible and nuanced; this volume is simply the best introductory text on the subject of mental health interviewing available today.
What distinguishes this book is it's recognition of bottom-line diagnostic issues while respecting the dynamic and process of the interview which allows the diagnostic picture to emerge. By organizing the book along diagnostic lines rather than the simple domians of the interview; Shea takes the emphasis of the book off of mere data collection in favor of the interpretation and synthesis that are the true skills of clinicial interviewing. In doing so he avoids the major weakness of most introductory interview texts; which tend to pay more attention to what data to collect at the expense of what to do with the information one obtains.
The most notable enhancement to the second edition is the delineation of Shea's technique for suicide and violence assessment. This is a welcome addition on a topic which is a perrenial source of anxiety for anyone working in mental health.
It's a shame that this book is not on more required reading lists in professional schools. I reccomend this book to trainees of any professional stripe who want to learn more about the art of clincial interviewing, and to practitioners who want to benefit from the wisdom of a true master of the topic.
The best book of its kind.......2003-10-27
There are a lot of interviewing primers out there, but this is a book to really digest. The subtleties of interviewing are slowly and methodically explored with enough "meat" that you don't feel like you've just eaten a lot of cotton candy, as with some other texts. (Of the lighter texts though, I recommend Robinson's "Three Spheres".) Great book. Thanks Dr. Shea!
Sleuthing The Ghosts Of Mental Illness.......2003-05-27
Shawn Christopher Shea does not quite measure up to Irwin Yalom as a poet/philosopher in the realm of psychiatry and mental health. And yet, like Dr. Yalom, the master of group psychotherapy, Dr. Shea is very good in his own published niche, the art and science of psychiatric assessment. Unlike Yalom's specialty, Shea's work contains the elements of life and death. A superficial or faulty diagnosis can result at worst in suicide, homicide, or fatal medication reaction. Thus, while Shea is a funny and thoughtful man in his own right, his book is of necessity grave. Coupled with thoroughness, this gravity makes the work a standard referral source that should enjoy a long shelf life.
It is hard to imagine a better work than Shea's for psychiatric orientation. His working setting appears to be the emergency clinic of a major hospital in which the assessor must do a lot of things in a sixty minute time frame, though Part I [pp. 3-224] deals with such issues as subtle nonverbal behavior that seem more accessible in a leisured, office setting. With a somewhat undisguised distaste for present managed care practices, Shea assumes the worst of all worlds as to working conditions: a cold client, resistance, multiple diagnoses, soft signs, need for medication and follow-up treatment, and development of a working relationship or engagement with the client-all inside of sixty minutes and assuming the assessor has leisure to dictate later in the day.
There are several features of his teaching style that merit attention. The first is adherence to the DSM-IV. The publishers of this work purchased to right to reproduce those familiar "symptom boxes" verbatim and incorporate them into the text at appropriate points. The ease of use of these cross references in the text, and the author's lucid commentary on how to verbally elicit indications of the symptomatology call for special note. Second, Shea is a master of risk management. He leaves no stones unturned in his interviews in his efforts to determine suicidal or homicidal risk; or, in another vein, he garners from clients a near exact tally of daily drinking. Since reading the work, I have found myself asking patients about suicide as often as three different times in an interview, in various guises. [Shea `s "Far Side" sense of humor comes to the fore in his treatment of suicidal assessments; noting that psychiatrists and mental health professionals are all too human, he observes that assessors are less likely to probe for suicide and severe psychotic warnings at the end of their work shifts.]
A third characteristic worth noting is Shea's attention to the "soft signs" of an emerging psychosis. It occurred to me that, given the pressure of time upon psychiatrists, the non-physician practitioner [eg. psychotherapist, social worker] might actually have more exposure to the little indicators and trends than their harried colleagues: preoccupation with an incident in the distant past, infrequent loosenings of thought associations, inappropriate affect, etc. [p. 317]. This is an excellent work for non-physician providers who wish to collaborate with psychiatrists more succinctly and Shea's reflections upon the writing of clinical notes bears special attention.
As this is a second edition of an original work, there are a few additions that might prove valuable in future editions. One is an acknowledgment that many [most?] psychiatric evaluations for diagnosis and medication are not being done by psychiatrists. In my own setting, the client's primary care physician is the gatekeeper, and one can assume reasonably competent risk management skills among MD's in regular practice. But as one progresses further down the medical service food chain, it is not unusual to see bachelor's level personnel in public receiving facilities performing the very duties outlined by Dr. Shea in this text. As state funding of services becomes more acute, there will no doubt continue to be a "dumbing down" trend, with less qualified personnel being authorized to perform more delicate psychological services, such as assessments. Consequently, although Dr. Shea's present work is unquestionably thorough, it may be that future editions will need to assume less technical background and include more basic information, given that his target audience is the entire mental health community.
Along these lines, the construct of this work assumes a one-hour psychiatric assessment. One wonders if this is an optimistic time frame. In this corner of Florida, a 30-minute office assessment is the gold card of psychiatric care among private practitioners, Medicaid, and the better health care plans. The hour assessment appears to be the domain of the inpatient residential/involuntary population, sort of a closing of the barn door after the horses have gone round the bend. If indeed one must assess in a thirty-minute window, it would be interesting to get Dr. Shea's pecking order of urgencies from those cited in this work. But I don't want to be the one to ask him.
A must for Psychatric trainees!.......2001-05-11
Easy to read, written in a interesting format with a dramatic and poetic flare! However, the content of this book is invaluable to anyone performing intake and inital assessments. Shea breaks down the interview into understandable and logical components, and discusses methods and techniques to fully engage interviewees. If you haven't heard fabout Facilic's get this book and learn how this linguistic study of conversation can help you understand your own strengths and weaknesses in interviewing.
Outstanding!.......1999-09-27
As a MSW student this book explained concepts and theories that was easy to read and understand. It displayed through variouss examples how to conduct and critic interviewing skills. The only book of this kind that I have read every page.

Book Description
An informative and up-to-date resource for job seekers who are looking for solid direction from Fortune 500 executives. War, recession, and political uncertainty have forced many corporations to regroup, and downsizing has been the dreaded outcome for millions of workers. Fired and laid-off employees are swelling the ranks of job seekers and creating stiff competition for a dwindling number of positions. In this harsh business climate, many applicants are finding that just getting in the door for an interview poses an enormous challenge.
So what's happening on the other side of the desk-as employers review huge piles of prospective resumes? What catches their attention? What turns them off? Author Brenda Greene surveyed 50 Fortune 500 employers to find out and gained valuable insight into just what it takes to command attention and interest in a crowded field. Packed with sample resumes and cover letters that represent what hiring managers, directors, and vice presidents want to see, Get the Interview Every Time shows and tells what's expected versus what's rejected.
Readers will learn how to:
• Research the company and its opportunities before sending any resumes.
• Distill all of their talent and experience into a few well-chosen words.
• Showcase their communication skills through a well- crafted cover letter.
• Avoid hype and ""resume-speak""-easily spotted and reviled.
• Determine the resume style that looks and works the best.
• Design and submit an electronic resume correctly.
Get the Interview Every Time breaks down the monumental task of landing an interview into a series of manageable steps, easy to understand and inspiring to follow. Designed to transform confused, disheartened job applicants into savvy, prospective employees, Get the Interview Every Time shows how to ""open the gates"" through sensible, targeted self-marketing.
Customer Reviews:
More comprehensive than other résumé/cover letter books.......2007-10-05
This book is more comprehensive than other job hunting books in that it explains the basics of job searching, professional résumés, and cover letters very well. It gives some advice on where to search for jobs, networking, and how to send in job applications via electronic and written formats. If you are only going to buy one book to prepare for a job search and the application process, I would recommend this book over several others.
The downside of this book is that it does little to prepare you for the modern inevitability of having to submit your application through a standardized and faceless corporate website. Any advice on formatting your résumé, writing a cover letter, or writing professional contact emails is unnecessary when companies force you to "spray and pray" your application to their non-communicative and poorly staffed HR departments. Nothing is more discouraging than having your perfect cover letter and résumé butchered by having to fill in standardized forms on the web.
Excellent Resource.......2007-01-04
This book was very helpful. It has a lot of examples of cover letters and resumes. Also, it has comments from actual hiring managers and some contradict each other. That is helpful because it shows that not all HR departments feel the same way about resumes and the key is to appeal to as many as you can.
Excellent Resource.......2006-03-14
This book was very well done. There are many sample resumes in the back and also sample cover letters. The content of the book explained what to put on your resume and cover letter and what employers are looking for. This is a great resource for anyone looking for some guidance on how to develop their resume and cover letter.
Excellent Layout.......2006-02-25
Excellent presentation of the material in an easy to follow format. Allows the reader to pinpoint exact areas of interest, and contains only information pertainent to the title.
A must have for writing resumes with confidence and skill.
Incredible Resource.......2005-09-14
I highly recommend this book for people who want a complete approach to finding a new job. The author took the time to interview tons of HR people at top-notch companies and share valuable insights with the reader.

Book Description
This book offers clear and direct answers to the questions most frequently asked by students and trainees learning how to talk to clients and extract critical data from them. Its development reflects the old adage that "necessity is the mother of invention." For many years, the editors taught beginning level mental health clinicians. They found, however, no text to be satisfactory--including a number that they themselves were involved in producing. Some were too difficult; some were too simplistic; some were too doctrinaire; still others had missing elements.
Written in a reader-friendly "how-to" style, the chapters in Basic Interviewing are not weighed down by references. Rather, each contributor suggests readings for students and instructors who wish to pursue questions further.
After the initial overview chapter, there are 12 chapters addressing the nuts-and-bolts concerns of all clinicians that can be particularly vexing for neophytes. They cover a variety of issues from the most specific--like how to begin and end interviews--to the more general--like how to build rapport and identify targets for treatment. Throughout, rich clinical illustrations facilitate the pragmatic application of fundamental principles. Beginning graduate students in counseling and clinical psychology, social work, and other allied mental health fields, as well as psychiatric trainees, will find this text to be an indispensable companion.

Book Description
As we are thrust into an age of digital communication technologies, opportunities are becoming endless for people to perform in front of the cameras either on television or the Internet. Executives representing their companies or students aspiring to work in the broadcast field are often intimidated by the thought of going on camera. One of the reasons for these fears is that there are so few resources to aid in educating people about broadcast performing expectations.
Customer Reviews:
Helpful for any journalist on camera.......2002-10-23
This book is VERY helpful to those wishing to be on TV. I had the opportunity to take a Broadcast Voice class with Michelle McCoy and it was absolutly the best thing I have ever been to. If you ever get a chance to meet her take the opportunity. She provides a wealth of knowledge for a variety of topics in broadcasting.
Detailed "how to" for appearing on TV and the 'Net.......2001-09-20
"Sound and Look Professional" provides the on-camera television novice with myriad tips on looking and sound one's best when appearing on a medium that often offers little feedback in terms of audience. The authors give sound (literally) advice for the beginning reporter, host, and guest, running the gamut from how to sound good to how to (and very important for a visual medium) look good. The reader learns about the various positions in the television studio, how to read cues on the set, and very detailed information on the presentation of the self in terms of make-up, clothing, and hairstyle. These all contribute to the credibility of anyone appearing on TV. Also provided are some scripts from "real life" TV news stories and commercials, and helpful ideas about constructing the resume for careers in the broadcast industry. Especially notable is the authors' point that just as important, if not more, for credibility than appearance is the voice, the on-camera talent's true "tool" for effective presentation. This book, written by industry insiders, aims to give the best advice to those wishing to enhance credibility.
