A Must Have Book!

This is a must have book for anyone who is job hunting and going on interviews. This book saved me during my interview today with difficult questions like "What are your negative traits", "What negative disagreements have you had with peers/supervisors" and "How did you overcome the disagreements". I checked this book out from my local library, but as soon as it comes to Kindle, I will be purchasing it. The format lists an interview question, and follows it up with at least 6 answers choices that you can use to get an ideal of how you can answer the question. This is a great guideline for preparing for your interview. Also, this book is for everyone, high school grad, college grad. (BA, MA, MBA, PHD), not only for those seeking an entry level position.

Great Book!

This book gives you insight to questions you wouldn't have thought of. A great way to beat being left high and dry in an interview chair wishing you had thought of an answer before hand.

Great book for appropriate person.

I use this book with my clients who are in year 1 through 5 of their career management strategy, or with any entry to just-above-entry level career person who simply has not interviewed much.Although one previous reviewer attempts to discredit the book by citing a few under par examples, many of the questions reflect true interview situation questions and many of the answers are helpful to those unskilled in interviewing techniques.The book operates like flash cards that you can tear apart. My recommended approach to using it is to tear out 10 - 20 questions you want to answer expecially well, try using their answers or your own in mock interview situations with friends and associates, and use this as the tool it is meant to be used: One that promotes interview practice and thoughtful reflection.I wholeheartedly validate the experience of those who have found this book invaluable. Many people do.

Wish I'd said that!

I'm helping a friend going through a career transition; we are using this book to practice interviewing as we commute to our current jobs. The format is great: specific questions and suggested responses get us talking about what we'd like our supervisors to know about our skills and working styles. We have both noticed we're getting better at communicating our abilities where we are. The suggested answers are forthright, positive, and allow the focus to be on the job.
