Pretty useful book that prepares well for job interview

This is actually an excellent book that acts as a starting point to prepare your interviews. The early sections are a good framework to prepare a solid speech on why you're out there looking for a job, what your motivations are, what value you can bring etc. The list of questions may seem boring but it's clearly an invitation to do your homework. Sit down and practice, practice and practice. This type of work isn't the kind of involvement your hear very frequently and I know very few people who have enough to actually do it. This book will help you be prepared for pretty much any type of questions, as long as you put down the required practice hours. Just zipping through it once or twice will do you no good. It'll give you the feeling that you're prepared when in fact your not. The only way to make the most of this very good book is to actually practice every question aloud, in front of someone else if you have to. This is an excellent preparation tool, that you should acquire early in your job search quest, as glancing over it won't unleash the power it contains.

Good Advice for Those Who Need It

Here is a good place to start.These questions, or some form there of, will appear in an interview. The wise reader will take each one a prepare an answer just in case. This process of preparation will build confidence and provide insight into the entire process.The book is not a great literary work, but it gets the point across. It will provide knowledge into the terrifying world of the interview, and should help build one's skills for when the time comes.

great!

Anyone looking for a career change or just starting out should definitely read this book. The questions and answers are very informative. I was especially impressed with the section on Illegal Interview Questions. I've been asked these type of questions in the past, but was unsure on how to respond to them. Now if they ever come up again in the future, I will be prepared!
