Excellent (though slightly US focussed) 29 Feb 2008

By Georgie Hayes

Format:Paperback

Excellent book. Clearly written for the US market, but much (though not all) of the content is applicable to UK job interviews. Very useful to stimulate other questions and to give you a bunch of fall back questions if you're inclined to panic in interviews. A useful book to read alongside others - highly recommend "Brilliant CV", "Brilliant Interview" (2 v good examples of the many CV and interview books) and "How to Handle Your Recruitment Consultant" (only book I've found covering this area - and extremely useful - also happy to say it's written specifically for the UK market).

201 Best Questions to sell yourself 13 Jun 2005

By L. M. Saona

I've read this book to help me through the ackward passage of job interviews. It has very valuable help although the slant is too American and too sales-job oriented many of the questions can be adapted when applying to lower-end non-managerial positions.

Used a lot, but one question missing... 28 Jun 2011

By Mr. Simon Rorke

Loads of good advice, but if used to excess could be too 'American' or aggressive for many vacancies.
One question missing is:
'I loath being taken advantage of or bullied - how can you assure me that you won't be asking me to "Go the Extra Mile" without paid overtime?' - but perhaps that what good research and/or tribunals are for!
