"Beatty organizes the interview process in an interesting and useful way.  The approach is that interviewers are not acquiring talent, rather eliminating options. Further, that in his experience few people are removed from a firm for lack of technical skills, but for not fitting into a culture.  Preparation for questions by managing approach and information shared is critical to discovering a fit for both the interviewer and the candidate.  Candidates will often eliminate themselves by sharing too much detail or offering examples that unnecessarily shed a negative light on their experience. Each chapter tackles a different phase and topic of interviewing and includes suggestions on how to re-frame negative information or how to manage too stellar a result so that the fit is well presented."  Garry (Project Management)
