5.0 out of 5 stars Worth it's weight in gold, December 5, 2000

By	Joe Buchberger (Tampa, FL United States) - See all my reviews

This book is a must for anyone who is either looking for a job now or possibly will be in the future, which is just about all of us nowadays. It is a no-nonsense reference guide to the kinds of questions to expect during the interview and what the both weak and strong responses are to them, as well as how to respond to inappropriate or illegal questions without totally killing your chances at getting the job.

I especially like the list of questions right at the start for use as a quick index when filling out employment questionnaires. Strong responses to such questions as what aspects of your current job do you like best, or least, are quickly found with a discussion of the reasoning behind the answers.

This book is concise and to the point, and well worth the price even if you don't expect to need it in the near future, if just for the self-confidence and self-examination opportunity it gives you.

I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good insight on how interviews go - step-by-step, October 29, 2005

By	online shopper - See all my reviews

I've had good interviews before, but since it's 4 years since I did my last job search, I decided to get some good insight on the subject.

There were other books that I read trying to find a vision to help me overcome unexpected difficulties during an interview, but this one I bought just to get some quick answers into my head.

It turned out to be more than that. The author is not giving you answers to memorize. Instead, he explains why it is that the interviewer is asking you this particular question, an what he/she is looking for to be in the answer. The book opens up a new dimention before you for what initially seemed to be a simple (or stupid, or irrelevant) question.

The book also explains what parts the interview consists of, and what the purpose of each part is. For example, for the small talk part of it (which I realy hate and consider useless), he explains why it exists, what the goals are for the both parties, how to decipher the interviewer's behavior, and what topics to keep.

Examples for different industries are really helpful. The author is not teaching you cheap tricks. Instead, he makes yourself a very prepared interviewee, ready for the most prepared interviewer (and for the most unprepared, too). Different kinds of interviewers are also discussed.

For most of the subjects discussed in the book, some initial guidance is given of what exactly certain things discovered during the interview may mean. That gets you to a good starting point. We all know that your particular case is unique. And that is fine - it is easy enough to pick up from the point where the author left off.

I am half way through the book, and I found that I am reading slower over the last 10 to 15 pages. That is because the subjects discussed are rather interesting, and I am afraid to miss a thought or an image. In other words, I am more thinking than reading right now, and once I am done with the analysis, I look back in the book, and it gives me another subject to ponder on. That is amazing!

He also tries to give you some basics on how to get prepared to better (better to say - in a more relevant manner) present yourself, your skills, and your personal traits. I call this a "homework" for the interview. It is explained quite briefly. This is a whole topic for another book. I would recommend "Fearless Interviewing" by Marky Stein to help you have your homework done well.

All in all, a very good book. It is really making me feel the subject - that's the vision that I was looking for from other books.

Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good information., May 4, 2000

By	KayCeeKay "Just My Two Cents..." (Missouri, United States) - See all my reviews

I bought this book prior to interviewing for my current job. The book contains some good information but to be honest I wasn't asked the questions contained in the book. Of course this isn't the books fault. However, the book did help me prepare myself mentally in the event the questions did come up and it helped me to learn how to collect my thoughts and answer confidently. Recommended if you have interview anxiety at all.
