Interviewee's question at the job interview

Helpful book and quick, easy read on questions to ask during one's job interview. If anything it shows if the person seeking employment has done their share of preparation for the interview process. This book will help you focus on areas of employment that are important to you: performance measurement, promotions, personal development as well as figuring out company strategies and attitudes towards: outsourcing, competition, etc. At the end of the book there are helpful sample letters for both acceptance letter and letter for declining an offer. This book will completement any book that is preparing your for the interview process. It will make your shine and stand out in comparison with other applicants who are trying to wiggle it.

Seals the Deal!

OK, it may not seal the deal, but the interviewers were very impressed by these questions. Not only do they help you pinpoint the philosophies of the company and the typical working day but they also help you avoid sounding so "What's in it for me?" This book is just a good guide that helps you direct your questions to different topics.

Good Value

Many people in job interviews ignore the importance of asking questions and assume that their sole role during the meeting is to answer questions. In reality, however, most interviewers will agree that there's as much (if not more) information in the questions the candidate asks - or doesn't. This book is suitable for new graduates on their first job hunt as well as veteran job seekers. It can help the veterans by aiding them focus on the areas they want to explore before their interview and the impression they want to leave the interviewer with. It can also help `newbies' and those who simply don't know what to ask by providing numerous with intelligent and targeted questions that are generally important and can be relevant to most situations. Moreover, the author gives good advice on how to ask these questions, when to ask them and why should a a particular question be asked. Don't make the mistake of going through the list and picking the questions that take your fancy without reading the advice - you may inadvertently create a wrong impression and the question may not be even relevant to the organization interviewing you - so make sure you do your homework. The only reason I did not give this book a 5-star rating is because the format and layout were not very friendly.

a great book

This is a great book. Not only does it help you with ideas for questions, but also helps to fucus your research of the job, company and industry. The questions I asked used to be my weakest element in an interview, now my interviewers complement my questions. It has been the one book that has improved my interviewing skills the most. My only caution is that some of the suggested questions are brazen, and/or too abstract and run the risk of intimidating your interviewer. This can be overcome by taking the advice of the author on some aspects, but it took me a little practice to realize that.
