Tough Interview Questions and How to Answer Them
Which £8.99

Having buffed up your CV and blagged your way into an interview the last thing you want to do is fall at the final hurdle, but many do. This insightful book looks at over 400 typical questions from simple to complex and shows you how best to handle them.
Obviously the interviewer is trying to get to know you in a ashort space of time. Often it is attitude, behaviour and whether the person can fit into an existing team. Beginning with the very obvious (doing research on the company, personal appearance, body language) it looks at different types of interview (competency, chronological, portfolio, panel etc).
Throughout are highlighted boxes with top tips and points to remember. They are there for a purpose, not just to make the book look pretty, so do read and memorise them.
Various sections look at specialised questions and how to deal with the always dangerous 'what do you think of your current boss?'. Suggestions are given on how to cover more general topics about communicating with members of the team, delivering difficult news, and how you have aproached implementing new company policies.
Special emphasis is given on areas where you can dictate the flow such as the pitch about yourself. If offered the popular 'tell us about yourself' then do so, but in a succint and interesting manner. This suggests a few topics to cover and how best to suit them to yourself.
Not every question will cover the job that you are seeking but these cover the most standard ones and show what the interviewer is looking for and how to tailor answers in that style.
This really does give you an edge and whether you are confident or not you should always brush up before attending an interview, and this book is one of the best that we have seen to give you that confidence.
