see in executive candidate interview behavior and content. The book's

make it the must-have companion volume to Top Notch Executive Resumes.
This vital book includes an insightful examination of critical
differences that distinguish executive-level interviews from all others,
along with extensive information on leveraging relationships with
recruiters, plentiful sample interview questions and suggested
responses, and a comprehensive list of sample questions to ask the
interviewer. Special additional features include: -- Detailed tips on
how to land an interview and conduct pre-interview research. -- The
importance of nonverbal behavior and attire. -- A thorough guide to
interview formats. -- An interviewing checklist. -- A chapter on tricky
interview situations. -- A directory of executive-interview coaches. --
