A Lifesaver for Interview and Negotiation Anxiety Interviews have always terrified me, and I've historically accepted the first salary offer I received. This book changed everything. The concept of preparing "Signature Stories" using the STAR method gave me a library of confident answers for any question. But the real gold is in Week 4. The section on "Closing the Deal" is worth the price of the book alone. It demystifies the entire negotiation process, from handling the dreaded salary expectation question to negotiating beyond the base pay. For the first time, I felt in control during the offer stage and secured a package I'm thrilled with. This book gave me the confidence I desperately needed.
