Sweaty Palms: The Neglected Art of
Being Interviewed was the first complete book ever written on the
interview for the interviewee. First published in 1978 and introduced by
Johnny Carson on the Tonight Show, it remains the only book that tells
the truth about the job interview, written by someone very experienced
in interviewing. All the other information on the market is by
consultants, most of whom have little or no actual experience in
conducting a job interview, and this lack of experience is shown in the
naive and incorrect information contained in their works. Sometimes what
they say sounds good, but what sounds good often isn't.
H. Anthony Medley invented, developed, and pioneered the
videotape interview, conducting and videotaping thousands of interviews
at major law schools nationwide for law firms around the country. As an
attorney and businessman he has conducted countless selection interviews
to hire employees, evaluate witnesses and clients, and retain
consultants.
He is an attorney, businessman, and writer who received
his B.S. in Business from UCLA, where he was Sports Editor of the UCLA
Daily Bruin, and received his J.D. from the University of Virginia
School of Law. In addition to Sweaty Palms, his writings include other books, UCLA Basketball: The
Real Story (1972),and The Complete Idiot's Guide to Bridge (Alpha Books,
1997, 2004). His articles have been published in numerous newspapers and
magazines such as The Hollywood
Reporter, Los Angeles Magazine,
and Good Housekeeping, among others. He is a film critic
accredited by the Motion Picture Association of America and his
critiques appear in several newspapers and on the Internet on the Movie
Review Query Engine (www.mrqe.com)
and Rotten Tomatoes (www.rottentomatoes.com).
As an attorney, he was a member of the Litton Industries
Law Department and negotiated and signed the largest contract the United
States Navy had ever signed up to that time, the $2 billion plus
contract for the design and construction of the Spruance Class
Destroyer. In private practice he represented major corporations. Among
many varied and interesting transactions with which he was involved, he
negotiated the last agreement Aristotle Onassis entered into before his
death, for the design and construction of a 100,000 barrel a day oil
refinery. As a businessman, he has operated agricultural businesses,
that produced oranges, lemons, avocados, grapefruit, and field crops,
and developed and managed residential and commercial real estate.
