Synopsis:

The most widely-used text for the interviewing course, "Stewart and Cash" offers comprehensive coverage of a wide range of interviews, and careful integration of relevant communication theory as a foundation for the practical aspects of interviewing - for both the interviewer and the interviewee. Instructors note its clear writing, abundance of real-world examples and sample interviews as particularly appealing to their students. This 10th edition continues to reflect the growing sophistication with which interviewing is being approached, the ever-expanding body of research in all types of interview settings, recent interpersonal communication theory, and the importance of equal opportunity laws on interviewing practices. The increasing diversification of the workplace and the influences of the global village receive special treatment in several chapters.
