How to Answer Interview Questions

By: Peggy McKee

Can you explain why you're the person they need to hire?

Employers ask you 100 different interview questions...but what they really want to know is, "Why should we hire you?" If you get interviews but you don't get the job, you have not explained that to them.

This is the audiobook that will show you how to use your answers to get the job.

What this audiobook will do for you:

• Tell you why interviewers ask certain questions
• Show you what they are looking for in your answer
• Give you strategies for answering the toughest questions
• Warn you about answers that will kill your chances
• Give you how-to tips, phrases, and words for answering 101 job interview questions

What kinds of questions are in the book?

• Tell me about yourself.
• What's your greatest weakness?
• What salary are you looking for?
• Why do you want to join this company?
• Why should we hire you?
• Why do you have a gap in your employment history?
• Tell me about a time when you failed.
• Describe a time when your work was criticized and how you handled it.
• What motivates you?
• What questions do you have for us?

Who needs this book?

If you have ever felt that you don't have the words you need to explain why you're the person they need to hire... Can't quite "sell yourself" for the job... Stumble over your answers because you don't know what they really want to hear... Just want to be more confident in the interview...

Then this is the audiobook for you!

Great Collection of Interview Questions

I feel I really benefited from this audio book. I ended up typing up the questions that were relevant to me while I listened, and then wrote out my answers later. The narrator was really good. The only thing that would have made this book better was if it had been offered in print as a workbook, with the questions already written out, and blanks to write my answers.

Really helped prepare me...

listened to this multiple times up to the day of my interview. some of the questions were way out there but they actually made me think about my work style.

30-60-90 Day Plan was a Home Run Hit

The 30-60-90 day plan was a home run hit at the interview. I received a job offer 2 weeks after the interview with the comment that my 30-60-90 day plan was the point that sold them...over other candidates with more education and experience. Early in the interview I was able to point out that the questions the three interviewers were asking were answered in my 30-60-90 day plan. The remainder of the one-hour interview changed from my answering their questions to explaining my plan. The audio book also prepared me for the standard tough questions.

prepare interview

I believe this book can help everybody prepare their interview better. It gives you many behavior questions, so you know what to do.

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.

"Read before taking any interview."

Would you listen to How to Answer Interview Questions again? Why?

I listen to this on audible over and over again to educate myself. You only have one shot at that interview and you better be ready for every question they ask you. If you answer one wrong you will not get the job.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Peggy Mckee has so much experience in this field because she has been there doing the hiring for years.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The entire book is filled with educational tips and tricks that help you get one of the most important things in your life. That is a career and income to provide for your family.

Must Read!

Thoroughly informative, captivating, and direct

Must read because Peggy speaks from experience, hits you with the truth, and gives rewarding assignments.

thank you Peggy

I'm going to copy and paste my review from interview questions 101 part 2 because it's basically the same. please don't think I'm a robot I'm a real person.

I really appreciate the interview questions 101 series as well as how to Ace your phone interview and how to network.in fact, these are literally the only interview books that I read. I don't really like to purchase the 8-minute books that she sells. but these three books as well as the networking book are at least 50 minutes to 4 hours. Scott Miller has a great voice and I actually laughed out loud several times. I received quite a few phone interviews, and all of them followed up with in-person interviews and I received several offers after listening to her books. as another person said, it turns out I actually do have the answers they are looking for and it makes me feel confident and competent. thank you Peggy. I start my new position with a Fortune 500 company later this month.

Best if the best
