2.0 out of 5 stars Putting words in MY mouth? C'mon now . . ., September 11, 2005

This book is more than a bit superficial, and anyone who uses these "answers" can be spotted a mile off by professional interviewers. Read Martin's other advice, but pass on his answers. Your answers need to come from the real you -- which is likely to be a far more successful approach than putting someone else's words into your mouth. That's as dangerous an idea as I've ever heard for an interview . . .

I never believed that such books can help someone get a job, but actually this one was very nice to read.
The idea is not to memorize the answer it gave, but actually it builds the base that makes you prepare answers according to your knowledge and previous experiences, make you understand the concept behind those questions
Very well return with easy words to understand. It will sure add something to your job search experience and interview skills.

1.0 out of 5 stars No better than the 1990 version?, November 17, 2008

I tried using Yate's approach in the mid '90s. It nearly prevented me from getting a good job, so unnatural and glib were my interview responses. Based on the negative comments here, reactions are still the same.
