This book is for every job candidate who thinks "Do you have any questions for me?" marks the end of an interview. It doesn't. In fact, it marks the beginning of the last and perhaps most important interview phase - a phase so important that failing to prepare properly for it can undo all your hard work, including providing great answers to tough questions! Asking questions in your interview is your moment to shine - to show off the depth and breadth of your research, to remind the interviewer of how perfectly your credentials fit the job description, and to actually ask for the job! From what to ask, when to ask it, and the kind of answers to expect, this book gives every candidate, from first-timers to seasoned pros, the practical information and advice they need to ace the entire interview and get their dream job.

Excellent Book! Mar 09, 2005 By David G. Douthitt "ddouthitt"
This is an excellent book, and provides an easy to read format with questions listed in bold throughout the book. There is no "quick reference" sheet of questions, though there is an appendix which lists questions in the back of the book (on p. 169).

The author seems to be from a sales background, and lists many questions more suitable for sales. In particular, some of the questions seem to be quite bold and forward; you may want to skip some of these. To his credit, these questions are clearly marked.

The book breaks questions down into three general areas: questions to ask yourself (before the interview), questions to ask a prescreener (an HR person), and questions to ask the hiring manager. Most of the book is spent on the latter two.

This book also describes how to do research on a company - so you know what questions to ask. Resources are described in detail, and how to get them.

Highly Recommended! May 20, 2004 By Rolf Dobelli "getAbstract"
Career development expert Ron Fry focuses on how to prepare for a job interview and how to conduct yourself during the interview. While he covers some of the same ground he's covered in some of his other books and as well as the territory in other career books, such as What Color Is Your Parachute, Fry focuses helpfully on a critical job-finding skill - asking the right questions during your job interview. He tells you how to respond when the interviewer asks you, "Do you have any questions?", because your response indicates your level of interest in the job. Besides listing questions to ask or to modify to meet your own circumstances, Fry provides helpful preparatory questions you should ask yourself to clarify what kind of job you really want. We recommend this book to job seekers at the middle or lower management level. By the time you get to the executive suite, you'll know what else to ask.

Valuable quick guide for job search Dec 18, 2006 By Reader "cvrcak1"
Quick read, easy book, good advice. The best part the the book are the list of words that can help you describe yourself. I also liked the "Get the best deal" chapter that lists all the fringe benefits one can and should ask for when relocating or making sure that proper severance package is in place...

It's not your answers, but your questions Mar 27, 2004 By Jedi Knight 72205
This book does a great job of helping you ask the questions that will get you a job. As a training manager, who trains managers and executives on how to interview, I feel I am qualified to say this book works.

I know we look for people who can ask the right question. This book is a wonderful resource once you get the interview. This leaves us with the question, "How do you get an interview?" Simple, know the type of job you want and pursue it, if you do not know what type of job you want you may want to read the classic, "How to find your dream job and make it a reality." By Jason McClure.

Read this book, and learn how to ask questions for your job interview.

It definitely helps prepare for an interview Sep 30, 2010 By Peter S. Jaworski
I purchased this book on the recommendation of a colleague when I was preparing to interview for a new position. Being the kind of person who needs to feel prepared for these types of activities, I really found this book valuable for giving me ideas of what types of questions I could expect and smart, intelligent ways to respond to them.
