4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,185 ratings

Can you explain why you’re the person they need to hire? Employers ask you a hundred different interview questions… but what they really want to know is, “Why should we hire you?” If you get interviews but you don’t get the job, you have not explained that to them. This is the book that will show you how to use your answers to get the job.

What This Book Will Do For You:
• Tell you why interviewers ask certain questions
• Show you what they are looking for in your answer
• Give you strategies for answering the toughest questions
• Warn you about answers that will kill your chances
• Give you “How To” tips, phrases, and words for answering 101 job interview questions

What Kinds of Questions Are In the Book?
- Tell me about yourself.
- What’s your greatest weakness?
- What salary are you looking for?
- Why do you want to join this company?
- Why should we hire you?
- Why do you have a gap in your employment history?
- Tell me about a time when you failed.
- Describe a time when your work was criticized and how you handled it.
- What motivates you?
- What questions do you have for us?

Who Needs This Book?
If you have ever felt that you:
• Don’t have the words you need to explain why you’re the person they need to hire…
• Can’t quite “sell yourself” for the job…
• Stumble over your answers because you don’t know what they really want to hear….
• Just want to be more confident in the interview…
Then this is the book for you!

    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.

    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.

    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.
