Summary: Don't Waste your money
Review: Clearly the positive reviews that this book has received have been posted by whomever is profiting by selling this horrible interview book. The book can easily be read in 20 minutes and offers absolutely no help to someone interviewing for a serious job. It offers many predictable interview questions and offers one-sentence "no-brainer" answers to these questions. A couple of random examples from the book are: QUESTION: "Shall I make you an offer?" ANSWER: "I Would appreciate it very much!." QUESTION: "How do you think your subordinates perceive you?" ANSWER: "They like me, I think." Wow those answers will really impress the interviewer!!!! (Sarcasm intended) After reading the book it seems as though the author put this book together in a day or two with the intention of making a quick buck at the expense of others rather to help others master the art of the interview. The book has gone straight into my trash can as I would feel bad re-selling this book to anyone else. I gave the book one star only because I was unable to give it none. Don't waste your money on this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great book for appropriate person.
Review: I use this book with my clients who are in year 1 through 5 of their career management strategy, or with any entry to just-above-entry level career person who simply has not interviewed much.

Although one previous reviewer attempts to discredit the book by citing a few under par examples, many of the questions reflect true interview situation questions and many of the answers are helpful to those unskilled in interviewing techniques.

The book operates like flash cards that you can tear apart. My recommended approach to using it is to tear out 10 - 20 questions you want to answer expecially well, try using their answers or your own in mock interview situations with friends and associates, and use this as the tool it is meant to be used: One that promotes interview practice and thoughtful reflection.

I wholeheartedly validate the experience of those who have found this book invaluable. Many people do.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Valuable and easy to use
Review: This is one of the most comprehensive interview preparation books I've ever read. It provides the questions that interviewers can stump you with and the responses that you can WoW them with.
Valuable tool for formulating outstanding responses and reviewing them in flashcard fashion just before the interview.
