How to Answer Interview Questions: 101 Tough Interview Questions

What can I say but wow, Peggy McKee has not only put a lot of thought and professionalism in this book but it is literally a step by step instruction on how to go through today's modern day interview process. It used to be that anyone who had a particular skill set or talent could walk into any job interview with confidence in knowing that they could get that position and get a answer that day and land the position, this is no longer the case in today's market place or arena. If you aren't prepared to satisfy the hiring manager's questions when going through that interview there is always that possibility that the person in front of you or behind you will have the answers that the manager is looking for, this book eliminates that fear, if you go into that interview with the answers that this book teaches you, you not only go in with a confidence that you didn't have before but the fear and the pressure isn't present like it would be if you haven't read the how to answer interview questions going in on the blind side, Peggy McKee is the ultimate professional and knows what she is talking about it seems to me that while writing this book she took the prospective of sitting in the interview chair as we all so often do in the hopes of impressing the hiring manager enough to land that position and in my mind nailed that perspective for us all to benefit from her expertise and experience. I will be recommending this book to all my friends and family members who will be finding themselves in that interview chair well prepared with confidence and no fear thanks to Peggy McKee and this book.

The beauty of this book, is it doesn't give answers, but rather it deciphers what the interviewer is asking. It's very well written and takes a simple question and lays out what is REALLY being sought in an answer. You then have the ability to cater your answers to your role instead of having a simple generic response to spout to give an interviewer. This book is not full of revelations you never would have come up with by yourself. Instead it really puts you in the mindset of an interviewer and the path of an interviewer to determine you're a good fit for a role or not. After reading this, you'll feel fully charged and walk into an interview with a strategic mindset of how sell yourself. My only complaint is this book needed a better editor. There is a lot of redundancy. There are about three separate questions in regards to salary, for example, and while helpful the first time, it gets a little old after a while reading the same plan phrased a little differently. There are several questions which are pretty much repeating the same thing. I think this could have easily been subtitled "75 Tough Interview Questions." Regardless, it's a great read and a quick prep for an interview, especially if it's been a while since you've had one.

In "How To answer Interview Questions", Peggy McKee gives us a wealth of useful and practical suggestions. I get the distinct feeling that the author is writing from personal experience and the many insights are her own. She also includes unusual questions sometimes asked at interviews that could catch you off guard. Peggy takes the time needed to explain each answer and often provides alternative answers depending on your situation. The questions are real and the answers are well thought out and insightful. While the number of questions at first may seem daunting, the material is easy to understand and assimilate thanks to the concise detailed explanations and numerous examples. I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone preparing for a job interview no matter what branch or job title.

Oh how I wish I had read this years ago. I was hoping it would be good but I never imagined it could be this good. I don't usually write reviews but the information in this book is so awesome and so helpful. Peggy McKee can help anyone get a better job. I never really prepared for an interview before, never heard of a brag book, a 30-60-90 day plan, didn't know how to handle the "How much money question" or most of the questions in the book! After reading "How To Answer Interview Questions" I now know why I didn't get a job I really wanted and it's painfully obvious that if I had read it before that interview that job would have been mine. Buy it, read it, what you learn from it will help you in so many ways. Don't wait until you're ready to go on a job interview. There's information in it that you need now. Hint: you need to know what a brag book is now so you can start getting yours together.

The insights was clear, practical and incredibly effective! I think what set this book apart is its actionable advice and real-world examples. I appreciated the step-by-step approach and the emphasis on preparation and practice. I can’t recommend it highly enough. Definitely a must-read! Thanks to author because now I walk into my interviews feeling confident and walk out with a job offer!

I did not properly understand, but this book is a supplemental book to her primary book about interviews. While the questions and discussion in this book are helpful, much of the discussion references concepts not presented here. There is not even an introduction that mentions you should read the other book first. That said, while there were a couple things I wanted to better understand about the way the author thinks of interviewing, I did not and have not read the first book and still found some usefulness in this one.

Great book, it could include more examples though.

Bought this book to enhance a few upcoming interviews that I have. Has great structure and examples to help you review for your interview. Strongly recommend for anyone who is in the process of getting a new job or career and working on best putting their feet forward and making great first impression.

This book has 101 interview questions and simply superb answers for them... A must read one for young boys and girls

Good for interview preparation to be abreast of the key questions you may be asked. Particularly behavioral questions.

I've recently decided to leave my job and have some interviews coming up soon. I haven't changed jobs in 6 years so need to refresh my interview skills. I purchased this book as it seemed different to the other books about job interviews that I could find. The book itself offers very practical advice for how to answer common interview questions. This includes best-practice answers to give to interview questions. Even if you are asked questions that are not in the book in an interview, the analysis that the author offers around each question will help you think about how to approach other types of questions. The questions that are analysed in the book range from the very common to some that are quite abstract! Overall, I would thoroughly recommend this book as a very useful tool in preparing for job interviews.
