    About this ebook

    Chances are -- unless, perhaps, you're Paris Hilton -- you've had to interview for a job at some point in your life. Employment interviews are a fact of life, as sure as bad weather and often as welcome. And in a cut-throat job market in which more qualified candidates are competing for a smaller number of jobs, the stakes are higher than ever. They need an edge. This book is for them.

    Written by a veteran recruiter who’s prepared hundreds of candidates for interviews, The Underground Guide to Job Interviewing is written for busy, on-the go people -- job seekers who don’t have the time for preachy, in-depth tomes on job interviewing, or a Dr. Seuss-style books better suited for students seeking a summer job. Short, occasionally subversive and always entertaining, it’s designed to read in one or two sittings and then used as a quick reference guide.

    Job candidates concerned about employers who seem to have all the leverage now have an ally. Unabashedly embracing the predicament of the job seeker, The Underground Guide provides a roadmap to interview and career success.

    Todd Moster

    An accomplished attorney, former writer for documentary television, and longtime executive recruiter, Todd Moster has been involved in more job interview scenarios than any decent human being should be expected to endure. A 1982 graduate of UCLA School of Law, Todd held several jobs in the legal profession, from attorney for the Federal Aviation Administration to deputy district attorney, associate attorney for three different law firms, and finally, as a business and real estate partner for a well-regarded Los Angeles law firm. He has taken more than fifty jury trials to verdict and presided over small claims and traffic cases as a judge pro tem. Todd left the practice of law fourteen years ago to become an executive recruiter in the legal industry. He worked for two of the largest recruiting companies in the world before founding his own legal search firm, Moster Legal Placement, Inc. (http://www.mosterlegal.com), in 2008. Over the course of his career as a recruiter, Todd has prepared thousands of people for job interviews. He's recruited and placed a variety of legal professionals into jobs with law firms and corporations, including law firm partners and associates, in-house corporate attorneys, paralegals, and legal marketing directors. His company offers a specialized coaching service, Interview BootCamp® (http://www.mosterlegal.com/Bootcamp.html), which trains professionals in effective job interview techniques. Todd has also worked in documentary television, including as a writer for the popular History Channel show "The Great Ships." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
