- Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2024Bought 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2017The 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2024I thought that I knew a lot of answers to questions and I was wrong. This book really helps you develop better answers to questions.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2012What 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.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2022I 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2024The 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!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2025Great book, it could include more examples though.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2024This books explains the 5 Ys of of the general questions we all get asked in interviews and breaks it down to the simplest of terms of how to effectively explain your answer or the answer each employer is looking for to be you in Good graces no matter what job or Career you are applying for. I wish O would have had this book at 15-16 when I first started Job searching definitely a 5 star Recommended
