"Love it! Todd Moster has created an easy, fun, slightly snarky read on a critical topic: Job Interviewing. I can't tell you how many times I have interviewed people who really could have used this book. If you're even slightly leaning towards buying this, do it!

"Much like a television show that reveals the secrets of how magic tricks are performed, The Underground Guide to Job Interviewing peels back the veil of mystery surrounding the job interview. The book presents a wealth of information forged from years of Todd Moster's experience as a top recruiter in a highly competitive market as well as his own unique experience in interviews. Unlike other books written on the topic of interview strategy, Todd's Guide finds a refreshing balance between being a highly informative manual and a humorous page-turner."

--Bradley McGavin, Esq., Director of Risk Management and Staff Counsel, St. John Knits, Irvine, California

"Todd covers all the bases involved in conducting an effective interview, from the genuine importance of knowing "what do you want to be when you grow up?" to knowing your own resume so that you can respond quickly and confidently to the interviewer, and having good questions prepared for the interviewer to facilitate an effective dialogue...Along the way, Todd employs graphics which are not only hilarious but set forth important principles.  Whether you are looking for a job, or looking for an employee (though Todd is clear that this is not a book for employers), you would be well-served by reading The Underground Guide to Job Interviewing."
