5.0 out of 5 stars Job Interviews: Top Answers to Tough Questions, 18 Jan 2004
By Stuart McIntosh - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As an outplacement specialist I often recommend books to my clients, and this is certainly a book I would recommend to anyone facing a job interview. There's no substitute for careful preparation for an interviewer's questions, and this book shows you how you can anticipate the best and the worst. Even though there are over 200 questions covered, you won't find answers to everything, but you will learn how to prepare for the kind of question that makes your mind go blank. Most importantly, it's written by a British author with a real understanding of the UK marketplace

5.0 out of 5 stars Another winner, 11 Feb 2004
By P. Benny - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
How many times have you been in a job interview and had those tricky questions like "what are your strengths?" and worse, "what are your weaknesses?".

In short, there are no right answers to these questions, just answers that are right for you. John Lees helps the reader to work out what those right answers should be. And perhaps more importantly, there are wrong answers to many of these questions. Again, John helps the reader to avoid giving answers that harm his/her chances of success.

As well as this, there is a short section dealing with 'wrong questions' - how to respond to questions that are probably illegal, such as around gender or race.

All in all, another winner from John Lees. If you are job-searching now, or expect to be job-searching, get this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Job Interviews: top anwers to tough questions, 26 Feb 2004
A great book if you are preparing for an interview or helping someone else to do that. Lots of really useful general advice about interviews - including issues you don't often consider but need to - all in a succinct and user-friendly way.

The layout is helpful and makes it easy to find your way round the book, with key issues summarised at the end of sections. The whole book is very easy to browse through and pick up information fast.

I liked the option of a "Fast Track approach: how to use this book if you have an interview tomorrow"! Also the 201 questions and practical approaches to answering them. Altogether, a very useful find.
