Foreword by Steve Allen - Television comedian, author, composer, pianist & former man-on-the-street interviewer. This hugely entertaining collection of over 100 fact-based short stories is a gold mine of comedy & wisdom from the classic American job hunt. These are the war stories that people spend their lives telling & retelling. While it's happening, particularly if it's happening to you, a tragic or embarrassing moment is not funny; but in the telling, it GETS funny, & in the retelling, it gets funnier. That's the heart of A FUNNY THING HAPPENED AT THE INTERVIEW. Besides their sheer entertainment value, these stories help job hunters & interviewers to be alert to the events that go wrong & right in a job search. It's an awareness-raising book. The stories are about mistakes, misfortune, blunders, disasters, inspiration, intelligence & luck that occurs before, during, or after a job interview. Expect laughs, tears, shock, surprise, delight. Savor the cartoons. You'll identify with the characters (their names have been changed to protect both the innocent & the guilty). You'll be more streetwise. And you may never accept another cup of coffee outside your own home.
