I listened to the audio version of this book. The author read the 250 questions and explained the intent behind the questions. A male narrator and a female narrator, both of whom sounded like qualified interviewees, "answered" the questions.
Each sample answer was appropriate, in other words, they sounded impressive. However, anyone wanting to prepare for their own interview would have to stop the recording, analyze why the sample answer was a "good" one, reflect on their own career history and then try to compose an answer. I've read other books that gave suggestions for fielding interview questions that were more user-friendly than this book. Those other books gave a sort of recipe for concocting your answer, the recipe usually included a list of factors (prompts)that made it easier for the reader to construct a personal response that met the cultural guidelines for an effective answer.
Listening to the book made me feel as though I was eavesdropping on an interview or on a demonstration of how a skilled person performed in an interview. It didn't feel like a handbook for preparing for my interview.
I was also struck by the type of jobs the pretend interviewees apparently had. They were almost entirely people with a multi-year history of white collar jobs. No one said 'when I cleaned the cages at the zoo" or "I consistently packed more orders than anyone else on 2nd shift in the warehouse." People who currently have these types of non-white-collar jobs and folks who are entering the job market for the first time may aspire to conducting better interviews--there's not much here for them without a creative adaptation of the sample answers. Frankly, if you have that much imagination and skill for converting the sample answers into answers relating to your experience, I don't know why you'd need this book to be a successful interviewee. This book may supplement other interview prep materials, but I can't recommend it as your only resource.… (meer)
