5.0 out of 5 stars Needed This to Help Me Interview Candidates, October 3, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 101 Great Answers to the Toughest Interview Questions: Third Edition (Audio Cassette)
101 Great Answers to the Toughest Interview Questions: Third Edition is good for interviewers as well as job seekers. Any book for one side is good for the other side if you think about it. I got this book after I had one particular job interview with a candidate that looked to me entirely for direction. I flubbed it and I was the interviewer! I just couldn't think of what to ask most of the time and the uncomfortable silence moments were almost unbearable for me.

After that I read articles and got several books. Author Ron Fry is credited with giving me the direction of drilling down. This is a form of "smart testing." You ask fewer questions and it takes less time. When something of interest comes up, you drill down to the next level, going no more than 3 levels deep since otherwise you could be unreasonable.

Fry covers the major areas you'd want to ask about, other than the technical skills specific to the job itself. And frankly, those are the easy ones to ask for an employer since those technical questions are about what is done on the job itself. But getting to know the candidate, the candidate's motivations and experience is terrifically complex. You have to be more prepared than the candidate when you're the interviewer, and this book helped me greatly.

I don't see any reason why this book would be considered out of date.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for an inexperienced interviewee, October 9, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: 101 Great Answers to the Toughest Interview Questions: Third Edition (Audio Cassette)
This would have been a good book for someone with little experience in interviewing, such as recent college graduates. However, lot of the information was nothing I haven't heard already. Another problem was that it kept referring to problems such as 'corporate downsizing', which really hasn't been a problem in industry over the last two years. This made the material seem dated....
