Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Successful Job Interviews For Dummies - Australia / NZ
Kate Southam · 2016
70/100
👍 Worth It
This one's genuinely thorough — screening interviews, salary negotiation, dressing for success, and tailored advice for everyone from new grads to older 'prime-time' candidates. Co-author Joyce Lain Kennedy brings four decades of syndicated careers-column experience, which shows in the structure. If you're job hunting in Australia or NZ this is a solid, complete resource; readers elsewhere will still get value but some of the specifics won't translate directly.
