At first, this title appeared to be like every other job interview program, encouraging viewers to dress for success, don't chew gum, watch out for illegal questions, etc. And then came the interactive segment with Mr. Aitcher, the HR supervisor, who asks questions and presents viewers with four possible answers. The interview questions themselves are fairly standard ("What do you consider your weaknesses to be?", "How would you handle stress on the job?", "Why should we hire you?", and so on) but the right answers are not always easy to determine. If you select the right answer, Mr. Aitcher grins and gives you a verbal high five; answer wrong, and he grimaces with displeasure...but he also lets you know how to improve your response. The interactive “virtual” job interview aspect elevates this witty, practical, and effective guide above similarly-themed fare. Recommended. Aud: H, C, P. (J. Carlson)
