It's ok but very broad

the audio version is an easy listen but it never got deep enough in explanation to further knowledge I already had.

Brilliant book!

Love it! Very useful... Easy to listen to. I heard it all while driving and finished it in couple of days. I was quite surprised to find out that there is such a thing as illegal interview questions. There is and now I know why certain interview questions did not feel. Brilliant, brilliant book!

Good points, but very repetitive

Robin Ryan had two foundational points for this book - focus your replies to the questions asked, keeping them to 60 seconds each, and know your key 5 strengths, with specific examples applicable to the position you are going for. There is other advice such as know the salary range and research the company - which to me are common sense items. The trends referenced are now (in 2022) dated since most interviews now seem to be video conferencing and support remote workers. Overall a decent reminder of the basics for doing well in an interview - prepare, prepare, prepare - and practice. The information could have been covered in half the time or less. A lot of info is repeated, and repeated again.

Very helpful

The Q&A’s were very helpful as they allowed me moments of reflection on my past jobs, all they encompassed and all the projects I spearheaded successfully. The Q&A’s triggered and opened up that part of my memory. So very grateful.

Insightful, concise and great supportive book.

I loved this audiobook. Without unnecessary wording, Robin shares clear recommendations, insights and attitude-strengthening words that in a very assertive way, help to better prepare for job searching. Thanks a lot.
