Product Description

Review

"... as brilliant as its title suggests. From preparation, through panic to postmortem this book provides the steps to take and the tips that could make your next interview the first day of the rest of your life." The Daily Telegraph


Product Description

What do interviewers really want from a candidate? How do they decide whether to hire you or someone else? What can you do to make it you? Who better to advise interviewees than interviewers? This book tells you what they want and teaches you how to deliver.

Like Brilliant CV, this book is highly practical and interactive. Find out what works in the real world and put it into practise through text features such as tips from the experts, shining examples, horror stories, questions and quizzes to get you thinking. It is clear enough for new interviewees, and has enough detail and thought-provoking ideas to revamp the technique of those more practised at job interviews.

Read this book and arm yourself with the advantage of knowing what interviewers are looking for and being in a position to supply it. Learn to show yourself in the best possible light and maximise your chances of getting the job.

4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant book for a brilliant interview, 20 May 2004
By G. Craig "GillC" (Ayrshire, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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 Jul 2006
By A Reader (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brilliant Interview: What Employers Want to Hear and How to Say it (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 (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.
