4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant book for a brilliant interview 20 May 2004
By G. Craig
Format:Paperback
If, like me, you are an interview-phobic then Brilliant Interview is definitely the book for you. I have just returned from my first interview in 4 years and if I hadn't bought this book then I may not have gone at all. This book helped me prepare and gain confidence by explaining everything from combating nerves to answering the toughest of interview questions (many of which I was asked during my interview). It even explains what you should do if you are not successful in your interview. My only one complaint is that it lacks advice on the ever more popular competency based questions now used in interviews. Despite that, this is a very useful book and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone concerned about attending interviews.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK but nothing special 3 July 2006
By A Reader
Format:Paperback
A well-written book, but wasn't quite what I was hoping for. I was hoping for more advice and explanation about how to deal with certain tricky questions and issues that I'm facing.

The book is useful if you want advice on how to negotiate a job package after you've been offered a job. But I've come across stronger books on how to pass the interview questions in the first place.

3.0 out of 5 stars All good advice - but you could do a web search instead 19 May 2004
By Nicholas Dunn
Format:Paperback
This is a well laid out and well presented book, with plenty of good advice. The advice is, as far as I can tell, being given by experienced and well qualified people and should be very helpful for anyone preparing for a job interview (or several job interviews).
Unfortunately you could get all the same advice, and more besides, by doing an internet search on 'job interviews' or scanning through a few relevant web sites. Lots of recruitment and employment websites offer advice along the same lines as the content of this book, but unlike the book it's free, so you may be better off just searching the web.
The book does at least collect the advice together into relevant sections, in a logical order and present it in a manner which makes it easier to take in. If you're prepared to take the time to sort through information from two or three web sources and put up with a bit of duplication you'll probably find that the internet search method is a lot cheaper and returns a wider range of information than this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just the help you need 26 Sep 2011
By P. Mckernan
Format:Paperback
What a great book. It was recommended to me and I wholeheartedly endorse it. The questions may appear obvious, in retrospect, but this book helps you understand what is really being asked and to think through the answers. Better than rehearsed scripts it give ideas on how to assemble key facts, i.e what makes you special, and get them across in interview.

5.0 out of 5 stars VERY helpful interview book to get ahead of the competition 10 Oct 2008
By I. Durian
Format:Paperback
Thanks to this book I received a job offer for a job I've wanted for the past few years of my career with a world-renown company.

I was very well prepared for all 3 interviews I had to go on to get this job. All the trick questions that were asked were questions from the book which I've already mentally prepared answers. Lastly, this book helped me immensely with negotiating an offer. I was able to get 2 weeks in between jobs (so I can go on a celebratory beach holiday!!)and bump up the salary.

I highly recommend this book for interviewers of all industries (except banking). The job market is incredibly competitive, this book will give you tips on how to get ahead!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book. Want to succeed at interview? Then buy this book. 16 May 2008
By Wolfgang
Format:Paperback
I think the criticisms of this book in the negative reviews given here are totally unfounded and ill concieved. This book is excellent. (Criticisms levied at the unrealism of the title are clearly levelled by the same people who went into fits when Katie Melua suggested there were 9 million bicycles in Beijing.) This is a good book that helps those who need help in this area. Personally I'd recommend this book along with "Brilliant CV", "201 Best Questions to ask on your interview", and also "How to Handle Your Recruitment Consultant" which covers the key area that these other books don't. With those four books in your bag you will not fail.
