Summary: The 250 Job Interview Questions You'll Most Likely Be Asked
Comment: Great questions. This really got me thinking. I loved the creative ones like, "What Color is your brain?" I went with green because I'm usually quite calm and I'm good at calming people down.

Summary: GREAT situational-interview questions
Comment: This book is highly valuable to help prepare for an interview where the interviewer will be asking situational-questions, which many people do. The Stanford graduate who gave the book one star seemed to think that the main purpose of the book was to provide the interviewee with THE answers to the various interview questions. The answers to the questions will necessarily depend on the interviewee's own background and experience. It is not the intent of the book to provide the answer that will suffice in all situations.

The value of the book is that it provides a safe forum for the interviewee to peruse the types of questions that will likely be asked in an interview and provides the person time to think through and develop the answers that apply to his/her situation. After bombing an interview with a pharmaceutical company 10 years ago, I went through all of the questions in this book and sailed through 5 interviews with another global company. After I was hired, I was complimented on my interviewing skills. I have moved up the ranks of my current company and, today, I use the book to supplement the questions we ask of new hires that apply for positions within our company. As with most things, you will get something out of it if you put something into it :) Have fun with it and good luck with your new opportunity.

Summary: Provides Some Basic Support For a Successful Interview
Comment: This audio book provides 250 job interview questions, basic ones, and very short responses that are designed to steer clear of controversy or create a poor impression.

I'm basically always up for reading/listening to another book that discusses interviewing. For me the value is on the side of the interviewer since that is one of my job functions. In case I am the interviewee, I feel prepared.

Books of this nature provide value to anybody that will be in job interviews on either side of the table. I learned the hard way that I need such books, because my first interviews didn't go well due to the fact that I didn't know what to ask. I'm sure I appeared unprepared and even stupid and felt ten times worse. After that, I made it my business to understand the interviewing process well and always be prepared.

The value of this book is limited because it doesn't go into any detail. I think one should be authentic in an interview and not provide "canned answers" where books such as this could lead. Still, if you're being interviewed and you really don't have a good answer or one you're comfortable with, you might as well give a very short memorized answer right out of this book. Nothing wrong with that as long as other parts of the interview are more engaging and authentic! You will appear well-prepared and informed about what makes for an acceptable short answer.

The person being interviewed has to at some point show some leadership in the interview, unless it is for a very low-paid position. Thus, having answers ready is only the beginning of preparation. You should ask questions and get into discussions related to the company and the work itself.

In my opinion, an interview where the interviewer asks questions and the interviewee merely responds is not a "good" interview. That's an interview that both sides can check off as completed but unlikely to go to the next level. This book can provide some basic support, the beginning of one's preparation for a successful interview.

Summary: Great service
Comment: THis was a key purchase for me due to upcoming interviews, I saw this on the book lists and ordered it promptly. I received quickly within days and was very satisfied with the quick delivery. The book is setup simply so you can jump between chapters to find out what areas you need more strength in. You don't have to read it from page one. I have learned a few things, surprising things since I received it making it a solid purchase on my part.
