I agree with fah. Get an interview book. I didn't have that one....I'm not sure the name of the one I have but it helped out so much. The only question it didn't give me an answer to that I've always struggle with is the "what's your weakness" question. There's a thread in this forum from just a few weeks ago titled that. I had a few interviews and needed some quick answers.
I've been out of work a lot the past few years due to layoffs. I haven't worked since March and just got a new job that I'll be starting in a few weeks. My interview for this job was about 15 minutes and she did more talking than I did. I just told her what I knew how to do and she told me what the job was and that was that. Not one single "interview" question. I have a lot of experience so I know that's why I was hired but I've also interviewed for similar jobs at other places and have not gotten them.
Interviews can be very tough to get through and in the past 2 months I've had way too many phone and in person interviews to even begin to count. I don't think I would have gotten through half of the questions without the help of interview books. I may not have gotten the job but at least I felt I gave a good answer.
Also have you ever heard of the book "Who Moved My Cheese?" I think it really helped me figure out some of my own ways of how I deal with situations in the work place when I was asked to describe a scenario. It's really about mice in a maze looking for their cheese but it gives tons of helpful tips. It's a small book that you could read in an hour and within a few pages you'll be able to identify yourself in the book out of the 4 characters.
This what Amazon.com says about the book:
"This is a brief tale of two mice and two humans who live in a maze and one day are faced with change: someone moves their cheese. Reactions vary from quick adjustment to waiting for the situation to change by itself to suit their needs. This story is about adjusting attitudes toward change in life, especially at work. Change occurs whether a person is ready or not, but the author affirms that it can be positive. "
