Job Interview Question
Books
Interview Strategies That Will Get You the Job You Want by
Andrea G. Kay
Buy this book from Amazon.com
This read provides job seekers with an excellent insight into
employers' perspectives. (And if you can't get inside the head of your prospective employer,
how are you going to put together an effective interview strategy? The time-consuming exercises
contained in the book are well worth the required
effort.
The
250 Job Interview Questions You'll Most Likely Be Asked
by Peter Veruki
Buy this book from Amazon.com
This title does a good job of giving advice on identifying and
handling illegal questions and the stress this eliminates alone makes the book
worthwhile. In the interest of full disclosure, we would like
you to know that you will never be prepared for every
conceivable interview question you can be asked.
The key takeaway from this book is
the preparedness for most types of questions you can be
asked as only you can provide the
"correct" answers to the questions the interviewer will
be asking of you.
Best
Answers to the 201 Most Frequently Asked Interview
Questions by Matthew J.
DeLuca
Buy this book from Amazon.com
Career expert Matthew DeLuca selects 201 thoughtful
questions to more or less "define the universe" of
interview questions. He then explains the logic behind
the questions and strategies to use to attack them. He
even tackles the illegal questions that shouldn't have
been asked but still require an answer.
201 Best Questions To Ask On Your Interview by John Kador
Buy this book from Amazon.com
More
job seekers mess up on the "Do you have any questions
for me?" question than realize it. If you say "no," you
will appear insincerely interested in the position or,
perhaps even worse, lacking in intellectual curiosity.
Both of these are KODs (kiss of death). This is a great
book. If nothing else, reading it should help you get
excited about the job prospect and provide you with
additional enthusiasm to bring to the interview.
The Interview Rehearsal Book by Deb Gottesman and Buzz Mauro
Buy this book from Amazon.com
This book is a bit
unusual, but we like it. (Enough, obviously, to include in our top 5.) In a
nutshell, the writers begin with the premise that professional actors have to
convince a director to hire them within a 2 minute rehearsal. They then demise
that hiring managers don't "audition" as many individuals as a director and give
the chosen few more time to make a good impression. There's a lot of truth in
that reasoning and the confidence-building exercises in the book will probably
be of benefit long after that next interview.
