The book gave me every bit of CPM knowledge I needed to do great in the interview and I landed the job (not only do to this book but it helped with the CPM questions I was expecting).

It gave him some great knowledge that he didn't learn from his professors when he was pursuing an undergrad. Thanks from Mr. & Mrs. Pieh!!!
