Now this book will give you a sample answer to every possible topic in the interview. My advice would be: read this book first, identify your strenghts and weaknesses -focus on those iteam, have answers ready for tricky questions such as: working with difficult people, being laid off or fired, etc. There are also chapters outlining perfect phrases managers and supervisors use. This is a treasure book. But, one needs to practice these answers until they become natural to the speaker. This book will help bring out the best you in the interview process. Book will act as your career coach.
I really wanted to like this book, as I have found other books of this sort to be "Too Much Information". I was hoping the title "Perfect Phrases for the Perfect Interview" would be the alternative: it was not. "Phrases" were in short supply here, and the book is really a series of strung-together anecdotes that left behind thrift and efficiency and instead indulged in wordiness. The same concept appears in too many different places in the book, and it takes too long to glean the essential, necessary points.
Although I did find some more useful stuff on the internet for free sometimes it helps to have a book to better organize your thoughts and not have to deal with all the search engines and pop ups. Although I didn't agree with some of the concepts and ideas it was a great starting point for me to build on.
Multiple examples of answers to the toughest interview questions, the ones we all squirm over when asked. The book easily and concisely provides advice on making the interview yours with direct organized answers based on tough interview questions. A book I will keep forever and share with my adult children.
Nothing new, but very good memory jogger. It enabled me to organize my thoughts and prepare my own behavioral examples.
