I used prep....not for someone to tell me how to be but to make sure my answers to the TMAAT ?'s were coherent and I wasn't rambling. Oh...and to make sure the stories I picked out were PC enough for a interview.

That's funny! And true. Years ago I was invited to a 3 day interview with one company. My wife said "you're screwed". I asked her why and she told me "you're only able to hide your inner butthole for about two hours at a time. 3 days is way past your expiration date."
Showed her. Got the job anyway.

If you use the prep to give sample canned answers, you'll get a TBNT letter almost guaranteed. The interview is truly a get-to-know-you event. There's no sim session, or psychometric testing, or some magical testing. They're simply assessing if they can sit with you on a 4-day trip without wanting to jump out the window by day 2.
My class was about even split on interview prep... fwiw

For the guys and gals that didn't use professional prep services, what did you read or study to prepare? I was reading some people talk about the book "nuts" is that book still a good read? It's seemed a little older so I wasn't sure if it was relevant. Just looking for suggestions bc I want to make sure I put my best foot forward and get it on the first try.

Read the book. If nothing else, it is a good history lesson on the company and will make you appreciate just how much of that has been lost under uncle Gary.
I know, I am dark and sarcastic this morning. Maybe it was my overnight in the El Paso airport Wyndham with the Mesa crews that made me that way.
