101 Great Answers to the Toughest Interview Questions

From Barnes & Noble

"So, tell me about yourself.'' "What do you feel an employer owes an employee?'' "Have you ever fired anyone?" "Why did you leave you last job?" And then there's the nail-biter of them all: "What are your salary requirements?" They're legitimate questions--and your answers can make the difference between rejection and acceptance for a job position. Ron Fry not only gives you the answers to a myriad of tough questions that prospective employers are likely to ask, but also explains the logic behind the questions--making you more confident, more prepared, and more likely to get the job! A handy index of questions in the back of the book provides a quick reference to those sticky questions you may anticipate (or have faced in an interview).
