Great for those who hireMay 11, 2006
By Brandi M. Seals
"501+ Great Interview Questions For Employers And The Best Answers For Prospective Employees" is a great read for anyone in charge of hiring for a company.
The author provides excellent questions designed to illicit telling responses about an applicant's history, personality and more. She points out that a lot of qualified applicants come through the doors. You don't want to necessarily interview only on skill, but should concentrate on how well the applicant will mesh within the system with those already working at the job.
The book offers excellent questions, guides on how to interpret answer or what types of answers one should be looking for, as well as examples that any interviewer can learn from. Readers are taught to look for discrepancies, to delve deeper and get a fuller picture of an applicant.
I've been on a lot of interviews and many of them have fallen short, asking only about previous work experience, how it relates to the new job - basically anything involving skills and experience. I really liked that the author is more concerned with how well a new employee will fit into the scheme of things, rather than skills and experience. After all, it is already outlined on his or her applications so there's no need to cover it to in depth. All in all, it is a great book for anyone doing interviews.

Best Resource for Novice or Expert InterviewerMay 24, 2006
By Book Woman
Taking a different approach to finding the perfect employees, this book is a fun resource for even the most experienced interviewer or job seeker. Dianna Podmoroff is an experienced author of similar books, and does not disappoint with this one. Each chapter deals with a specific job related skill; such as assessing analytical and problem solving ability, interpersonal skills and conflict resolution, teamwork, leadership, motivation, and stress management. What makes this book different is the expert analysis of answers after each section of questions. Podmoroff quickly pinpoints the pro's and con's of various responses, but is thankfully not presumptuous enough to claim there is ever one correct answer. She carefully illustrates how to apply different responses to appropriate job descriptions, allowing the interviewer to develop a more conscientious picture of each applicant. Interestingly enough, any job hunter can also use this book to hone individual interview skills, gaining valuable insight into the oft-confusing interviewing process. Overall, 501+ Great Interview Questions for Employers does what the name implies; offer great questions and expert analysis of answers, without the "know it all" attitude found in similar books. A valuable resource for even the most seasoned interviewer or the novice job-hunter. And by the way, there are 696 questions.

This book is a must-read for anyone in a hiring capacity.Jan 26, 2006
By Dawn Sullivan
"New Entrepreneur"
This book is a must-read for anyone in a hiring capacity. Asking a million questions will not guarantee you a candidate that is the perfect fit. Asking the right questions will. 501+ Great Interview Questions for Employers stresses that generic interview questions are excellent for putting the interviewee at ease. After that, in-depth questions are necessary to illicit honest responses. The book goes beyond just providing questions. It reveals the psychology behind each one and explains how to interpret the response. When a candidate is telling you what he or she thinks you want to hear, the book teaches you how to probe them for an authentic response. The authors were correct in stating that most people are hired for their skills, but fired because they are not the right fit. Recruiting and training new employees is too expensive to make a wrong hiring decision. This book enables me to ask the right questions and to choose the right candidate - the first time.

A valuable introduction to the qualities needed for a successful careerAug 06, 2005
By Midwest Book Review
501+ Great Interview Questions for Employers and the Best Answers for Prospective Employees is a useful tool for job-seekers and employee-seekers alike. "Analysis" sections explaining each question's purpose in detail supplement the 501+ questions themselves, which evaluate prospective employees on everything from current competency in their field to decision making and analytical opportunity to stress management skills, compliance and adaptability, leadership talents and more. A valuable introduction to the qualities needed for a successful career, and how to either spot them or display them proudly.
