2.0 out of 5 stars I did not find this book to be very helpful., July 7, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The 250 Job Interview Questions You'll Most Likely Be Asked (Paperback)

As the title suggests, the book lists the most common interview questions. If you have no idea what those questions are, then you might find the book somewhat helpful.
Along with each question there is an example answer which usually does not apply to the reader. After each example answer there is a brief snippet about how you should try to to answer that type of question. Unfortunately, these snippets are far too brief to be of much help to the reader (some are a single sentence). If there were more emphasis put on how to answer the question, and less space given to the example answers, I think it would have been a more useful book.
I suggest "the Unofficial Guide to Acing the Interview" by Michelle Tullier, published by Hungry Minds. This book will help you get into the proper frame of mind for your interview. It will also help you understand the employer's underlying concerns behind those tough interview questions. When you know why the employer is asking a question, you can form your best answer.
Good luck!

1.0 out of 5 stars Broad and general with little in-depth information/analysis, May 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The 250 Job Interview Questions You'll Most Likely Be Asked (Paperback)

This book is not for job seekers that have been on at least one job interview. The author covers 250 questions in 150 pages, which basically means there is little worthwhile analysis behind each question and answer. If you are looking to regurgitate the answers presented in this book, be my guest and use it as a reference. But as a graduate student at Stanford University, I found little useful information contained in this book and would not recommend using it in your job search either.

This review is from: The 250 Job Interview Questions You'll Most Likely Be Asked... And The Answers That Will Get You Hired! (Audio Cassette)

There are some good tips about strategies and about the importance of hitting on broad themes, but, like most books of its kind, it is too general to be of much value.
