I want to do book review in this book "successful interview skills- how to prepare ,answer tough question and get your ideal job" 5th edition by Rebecca Corfield and we have been asked to follow these tips:
You will create a critical book review. It MUST contain the following sections:
I. Complete bibliography (APA)
II. A brief italicized summary of the thesis or purpose of the book (I.e., why the book's author decided to write the book)
III. Critical description and review of main chapters/sections of the book in meeting the author's purpose in writing the book, and how each of those chapters contributed or did not contribute to that purpose. Things to think about here include:
- Is there an adequate, consistent development of the author's purpose throughout the chapters or sections? Why or why not?
- What is the author's purpose, i.e., what does he/she hope to accomplish through this
book? Does the author accomplish the purpose? If so, how does he/she do so? If not,
why not?
- Does the author approach the subject with any biases, i.e., do the author's professional, theological, experiential, philosophical, denominational, or cultural perspectives influence his/her conclusions?
- Does the author properly support his/her thesis? Does the author adequately consider and refute opposing viewpoints?
- Is the book limited in application to audiences and is the book relevant to contemporary business practices?
IV. A general summary that addresses each of the following:
- What are the strengths of the book, i.e., what contributions does the book make?
- Why should a person read this book?
- What did you learn from this book?
- How might you apply the lessons of this book going forward in your academics or career?
- Would you recommend the book to others? Why, or why not?
