      I had this book as a required text for a professional development class in graduate school. Working part-time in a bookstore for a while, I thumbed through several similar books--but in my opinion this was the most useful.
    • 3/5
      I knew basically what he would say. But I found the book helpful
    • 4/5
      Interesting and creative questions and answers. Excellent suggestions that cover every area of the interview. My daughter used this book to spark her creative side, just before a crucial interview for a major (read: humongous!) scholarship. She got it, too.
    • 4/5
      Solid book as ever (I've read at least one earlier edition), though I wish some of the explanations and sample answers went into more depth. The author also usually provides a few examples of variations on a question (e.g. "What's the last book you read?" is, in essence, the same question--or at least, looking to reveal the same kind of info-- as "what's the last movie you saw?"), but there were a few instances where I thought some of the variations differed enough to have warranted some explanation on their own.

      Major drawback for my current situation: everything presumes you're a stranger to the entity you're interviewing with, and also that you're in a purely corporate environment. Now, the general aspects of any given interview is more or less the same, and the technical, profession-specific nitty-gritty is beyond what any one author could ever cover. BUT it does make a difference for some answers if your interviewer is actually already your current boss, and you've already been working with that particular employer.
