Definately read "Handling the Big Jets", especially if you have an interview coming up, it's a favourite basis for questions. Most of it is still relevent today, just remember it's based on Comet,Trident, VC10, B707, B727 and touches on the just introduced B747 classic.

Make sure any techniques suggested are still applicable to the type you will be flying. Make sure you know what's applicable to your type but isn't covered because it wasn't around back then.

Most of the pilots transitioning to jets these days won't be coming from DC3s and Viscounts, more likely a light twin or modern turboprop such as an ATR 42, SAAB 340 or Dash 8.

Just like your approach plates, there is no substitute for current information.
