A must read if you haven't interviewed in a while

Excellent narration and good questions and answers. The only thing I did not like was hearing the same or similar questions like salary negotiations or hearing about the 30 60 90 plan over and over. It would be good to have questions that more senior individuals would get. More about leadership etc. Otherwise good audio book.

A great book, a poor narration.

What would have made How to Answer Interview Questions better?

This is a great book, unfortunatelly the narration was poor and instead of going on and on about many questions the autor could have used catagories in order to organize the questions better.

Who was your favorite character and why?

None

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Scott Miller?

If I have to rate 0-10 I would put 1, not only I lost interest in the book but I got bored listening Scott talk with his monotone voice over an over again, the book is about experience and it should be giving some emotions.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

I was disappointed for the naration. In addition instead of using 101 questions which in some cases were repetitive Peggy could categorized them in main topics.

Interviewing? -You NEED This Powerful Book!

This wonderful resource has so much of the interview process defined with respect to what questions you may expect, and what confident answers you might prepare to best achieve YOUR success! I would absolutely recommend it to a friend...I already have!

What was one of the most memorable moments of How to Answer Interview Questions?

One of the most memorable moments for me was actually in recalling some of the interview questions that had been directed to me in past job interviews, where I might have been caught off guard. This resource gives you the "edge" you need to sail through the interview process with confidence! This certainly helps eliminate anxiety and stress!

Have you listened to any of Scott Miller’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Scott Miller does a wonderful job of holding the listener's attention throughout the work. Your mind will not wander when listening to his professional narration of important information that needs to "stick" with the listener. (He has a great voice that's easy on the ears!)

I highly recommend this audio book to everyone especially people who are looking for a job or in any interview process. I am a recruiter and train people how to interview. There were so many insightful tips that I will be teaching my candidates the best way to answer interview questions. This is the best interview resource I have ever read and loved the audio portion, too. This book is in an easy to use format and is very instructive for helping the candidate get inside the thought process of the employer.

Thanks for this wonderful interview resource.

Got the job!!

After years of getting no's after interviews I finally decided to invest in refining my interview skills and purchased this audible book as well as another audible book by Peggy... I prepped myself 2 days prior and on the day of the interview and these questions and answers helped me land a job that I love as well as boosted my confidence because I knew what to expect and how to answer instead of scrambling for things to say or how to answer certain questions. I didn't miss a beat or feel nervous. Thank you so much for this gem. I'm incredibly indebted to your audio books. ❤️️❤️️

Fantastic resource

This book if well written, easy to understand, and full of great interviewing tips. The narrator has a dynamic voice that easily kept my attention. Hopefully I learned what I need to, in order to land my dream job!

Covers every angle

This offers a great way to answer questions and have a positive spin. Despite giving a negative answer the author offers a great way to word your sentences to keep the statement positive.

don't buy this

pointless, abnormal questions with out a reliable way to help answer questions for your own interview.

good book

I recommend the book, it gives good advice and confidence to do a better interview

Good if a bit repetitive

Some gems. A lot of similar questions about negotiating pay. Some more suggestions about describing your weaknesses would have been helpful - we get it Peggy you are impatient. Overall worthwhile

Very thorough. It covers many likely interview questions, but does favour business and management roles.
