Amazing Interview Answers: 44 Tough Job Interview Questions with 88 Winning Answers

I purchased this book not for use as an interviewee, but an interviewer. I wanted to learn better ways to meet with potential employees and assess their potential. I learned that, as well as seeing the positive, thoughtful answers that can be a benefit to any business interaction, as well as personal interactions. From that standpoint, it's an excellent, effective book.That said, if I interviewed someone and all of their answers were this polished, they would seem almost too perfect for the job. This would leave me wondering where and when the fatal flaw would appear, and actually hesitate to hire them over someone with strong, but not 100% perfect answers. As with all of life, balance is key.

The author lays out the questions in an easy to read format for any type of profession. This book was extremely helpful when I was preparing for behavioral interviews. Having been in the corporate environment for over 8 years, I thought I knew everything about interviewing. Clearly not! A MUST READ for anyone who is looking to set themselves a part from the rest of the candidates.

Times have changed for job hunters. No longer are resumes one-size-fits-all, and there is no guarantee that your resume will even make the cut beyond the scanner softwares that now screen applicants. This book is an absolute must for anyone who wishes to change careers. The author, who is an HR professional for one of the nation’s largest companies, clearly explains how to organize your job search strategy, how write your resume in a way that will get it SEEN by a human, how to make it to the interview round, and then how to answer the dreaded interview questions. Transform your interview skills with this super helpful book.

I picked up this book for my Daughter who is entering the work force after completing her Degree. I find the PEN method of answering interview questions a quick and easy method to study and master for all those who are looking to enter the workforce or change jobs. Very good tips and techniques for all levels of the work force. I wish I had this easy to follow guide earlier in my career.

I failed about 13 interviews in a month in a half before buying this book. After reading the book and spending the appropriate amount of preparation time, I passed a 4.5 hour interview for the job I wanted.

This book has lots of great tips for job interviews. I love all the sample answers. It makes it easy for me to come up with my own answers to interview questions. The frameworks in this book are very useful, especially the PEN and the STAR frameworks. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to prepare for job interviews!

One should always keep their resumes updated.. and an eye on what else is out there. It's important to stick with a job for at least a few years. But, it's also important that "the job" doesn't feel like a job. If you do what you love.. and get paid to do it.. you've actually won the game! For this reason.. I occasionally will read business HR books.. just to stay on top of my game. Anyone can be replaced. So, be ahead of the game.. by staying fresh and forward thinking.This book.. HOLY MACKERELLY!!! I had not realized that college had NOT prepared me for interviewing and getting a position. This book can be used on a daily basis in many areas. Not just job interviews. This novel prepares you for most anything that comes at you in the world of business. I have highlighted so many passages.. that when I make them public on Goodreads.. you'll basically get to see the entire book! lol.I'm beyond impressed! The author gives great examples and answers. I plan on looking to see what else he has written! He's the best dang business writer I've seen in three decades. NO KIDDING!!

This is a great read for anyone trying to beat the competition in an interview and someone who is new to the interviewing process! I will be using these techniques to land my dream job and to interview people who can take my place at my current job!

I am seriously surprised by these kinds of books which are mediocre but still have good ratings. This book is as mediocre as anything can be. The author talks about not talking much about your personal life when asked about "Tell me about yourself"-Is that even something he should stress upon? Isn't that obvious that it is a job interview and you have talk about your professional career? Maybe this book has a certain audience but it is not for all levels. Disappointed

Helpful, lots of new insights in interviewing. Already recommended to friends. I'll use it as when I'm being interviewed as well as for when I conduct interviews.

As the title, this is an Amazing book to read and l learn a lot from it.
