This book is extremely helpful and, I think, unique among books about job interviewing. Most job interviewing guides tell you to straighten your tie, smile and comb your hair before going on an interview. Once you reach a certain point in your career, you really don't need to be told these things. What this book does is it helps you with real-world job interview problems, such as, in my case, how to explain the two years I took off in my late 20's; and why I stayed in the same job for seven years without getting a promotion. If you have a tricky issue in your job history that you want to cast in the best light on an interview, this is the only book for you.

Answers are not what I would say.

The pay is low and the commute is deadly, but my supervisor is undemanding, lets me work from home once a week, and the work is easy. In spite of the long drive, I do quite a bit of walking at least 10, steps a day, so I can enjoy all the fabulous restaurants! Sadly, my supervisor is going on sabbatical and no longer has a need for my position. Instead of laying me off, he Posted at Shelf Inflicted I have been in my current position for nearly 5 years and was hoping to stay until I retire.

Instead of laying me off, he is allowing me to stay and use a large chunk of my workday for job search activities. These are commonly asked interview questions answered by the author. In the beginning of the book, she suggests you tailor the questions and answers to your own situation. In all my years of working experience, I have not been asked many of these questions during my interviews. Thankfully so, because I am not good at those questions that have no right or wrong answer or brainteasers: Those of us who work in public safety, service, trades, or clerical jobs would benefit by looking for help elsewhere.

The information contained in the gray boxes was useful. Here you could find condensed chapter summaries, interviewing tips, how to handle personal questions or insensitive questions, etc. Nevertheless, I got a job offer today, so it must have been helpful enough.

There is excellent information here, good ideas that can be applied to any interview for any job, but the number of interview questions covered actually made me feel overwhelmed rather than prepared.

I found myself skipping the actual questions and only reading the grey boxes which contained interviewing tips and explanations Although this book wasn't a bad way to prepare for an interview, it was so long and exhaustive that it was always the first of my three interviewing books that I set aside. I found myself skipping the actual questions and only reading the grey boxes which contained interviewing tips and explanations as to why one should answer certain questions in certain ways.

I definitely did find this book helpful and came away from it a better interviewer, but it wasn't a cover-to-cover read for me. I recommend this book if you have plenty of time to read and ponder the information therein before you have to go to your real interview. If you're in a hell of a hurry, on the other hand, choose a smaller book. Sep 28, chsmiley rated it really liked it.

I felt amazing during my last interview thanks to the prep work I did with this book. There was only 1 question asked that I hadn't fully thought through. Sep 01, Marcela rated it liked it. I like the idea of this book but reading through it, the given answers feel phony and some of them were just bad. For example as a usability person, I cringed at the suggestion of the interviewee suggesting a flash opening with music for the company's web site--it seemed as if the author just invents stuff for areas that she doesn't know much about which made me wonder how much I can trust the rest of her answers.

I was kind of offended with her "heroes" answer which had Albert Einstein for the I like the idea of this book but reading through it, the given answers feel phony and some of them were just bad. I was kind of offended with her "heroes" answer which had Albert Einstein for the male answer and for the female answer of Edith Wharton had her saying that critics might call her a feminist. Actually, fans might call Wharton a feminist and that can actually be a good thing! Apr 14, Ana Sofia rated it it was amazing. This book is fantastic and very interesting! As someone who absolutely LOVES reading about job interviews and how to prepare for them which is really no surprise when you know me and know that I plan to work in Human Resources in the future I couldn't have asked for a better book!
