Customer Reviews

Unhelpful
This book contains a comprehensive list of potential interview questions, but a lack of coherent structure makes this rather confusing. In addition, the book is geared very much towards the American job market, and many of its recommendations are not really applicable to job seekers in the UK.

This book is an excellent resource!
This book is an excellent guide for anyone who is nervous about interview questions. It guides you on what and what not to say, communication tips, illegal questions that you shouldn't have to answer, but may have to, behavior questions (how are your people skills?), stress questions (can you take the heat?), and what questions you should ask.

A must read for interviewees
Interviewers are now using such structured methods of conducting interviews, that Interviewees need to play the game as well and prepare for the obvious questions. there is no point failing an interview because you dont know the answers to the predictable "trick" questions. I have given interviews and been interviewed many times, it is a worthwhile book. ALSO makes you think about what you really want to do in your life by making you face up to those dark questions......
