5.0 out of 5 stars Helped me do a great interview at Continental, August 14, 2000

Better than just a list of interview questions, this book shows you how to answer using success stories from your past. Even an applicant with limited experience can use this "story" format to answer questions and help the interviewer get to know him or her in the most positive light. In my interview I was able to SHOW that I had leadership/decision-making/problem solving skills by drawing from past experiences and showing the interviewer how I had handled each challenge. The book requires some mental effort and preparation, but it will be time well spent.

I have recommended this book to a friend seeking a flight attendant job as well. Actually, I think the principles here are applicable to any job interview if you know what qualities and qualifications the employer is looking for and apply the principles.
