Yes — for a career switcher, I’d look for publishers that do two things well:

  1. Explain interview strategy clearly for newcomers, and
  2. Give lots of practice questions with sample answers or frameworks.

Here are some good publisher names to check out:

Strong general interview prep publishers

  • Harvard Business Review Press
    Good for polished, professional interview and career-transition advice.

  • Kogan Page
    Often publishes practical career-development books, including interviewing, job search, and workplace transition topics.

  • McGraw-Hill
    Has a range of job-search and interview prep guides that are usually straightforward and beginner-friendly.

  • Random House / Crown
    Some career books and self-help titles cover interviews, confidence, and career change.

  • Penguin / Portfolio
    Good for business-oriented career advice books.

More practice-heavy / accessible

  • For Dummies (Wiley brand)
    Very good if you want a simple, friendly guide with common interview questions and answers.

  • Barron’s Educational Series
    Often useful for practical test-prep-style study books, including interviewing basics.

  • Nolo
    More legal/career-advice oriented, but can be helpful for workplace and employment-related guidance.

If you want career-switching specifically

Look for publishers that focus on:

  • Career change
  • Job search
  • Interviewing
  • Professional development
  • First-time job seekers / transitioning professionals

Good book types to search for

Use keywords like:

  • common interview questions
  • behavioral interview questions
  • career change interview
  • how to answer interview questions
  • job interview guide
  • mock interview

If you want, I can also give you:

  • a short list of specific books, or
  • recommendations by industry like tech, healthcare, nonprofit, admin, or finance.
