Product Description
301 Smart Answers to Tough Interview Questions is packed full of the toughest interview questions and the savvy answers that today's managers are looking for. While many interview books still focus on "What are your strengths?" and "What are your weaknesses?" 301 Smart Answers to Tough Interview Questions is the definitive guide to the real-and sometimes quirky-questions employers are using to weed out candidates. What are the best answers to: - From your résumé it looks like you were fired twice. How did that make you feel? - Do you know who painted this work of art? - What is the best-managed company in America? - If you could be any product in the world, what would you choose? - How many cigars are smoked in a year? - Are you a better visionary or implementer? Why?

 301 answers to tough interview questions January 13, 2006

i really enjoyed this book for the simple fact that it actually mentioned some new tricks instead of the same old ones, and it reiterated some old standbys that we all forget after time. there is a lot of good (un)common sense to it, for new comers and seasoned alike. as a recruiter myself, i would love it if everyone of my candidates would read this before coming to me, it would certainly impress me if they came up with just some of the answers in this book!

Facing a tough interview? Been out of the job market for a while? Vicky Oliver has 301 smart answers for you.
This book is the job seeker's equivalent of MAPQUEST. Better, it's like an SAT prep course for interviewees.
Practical, thoughtful, thorough -- and fun!
Want to Be Hired? Interviewing Others? Read This Book!! November 20, 2005

Over the past twelve months, I have both interviewed for jobs and interviewed over two dozen potential employees. Only after reading this book did I realize how much I had to learn, whether being interviewed or trying to discern the quality of those I am interviewing. 301 Smart Answers is an easy read, but filled with so many inciteful comments on how to effectively control the interview process, communicate your strengths and avoid the common pitfalls. I am strongly recommending this book for anyone who plans to sit on either side of the desk.

No one enjoys sitting in front of an interview board and be judged. And everyone has a pet fear, "What if they think I am too old to start over" or "How do I explain why I quit my first job?" You will be surprised to know how many people stay in a job they hate just because they don't want to go through the job search, especially the interview.
This book is a companion that makes you realize your problem is not unique or unsolvable. For every tough interview question, there is a smart answer presented here that will turn the table around and make a positive impact.
Vicky Oliver gives us sensible and witty answers that makes the reading and the interview preparation enjoyable and effective. The chapters are intuitively arranged, with a easy to read page layout, and plenty of tables and side notes. A great resource.

301 Smart Answers... is a book to keep in mind when getting or leaving a job. It is a practical guide through the toughest questions of any interview. The format is clear and concise. The question is asked, the best answer is presented, and then the rationale behind the answer is explained in the "why this technique works" section. The author covers all kinds of situations, but doesn't waste time on long-winded explanations. Instead, she provides useful insight and advice on what to keep in mind throughout the interview process. Sidebars scattered throughout the book are useful for general tips. The appendix provides a decent list of useful websites. This is a direct and useful reference for anyone in the job market.
