#27176 - RE: Just had a job interview.... |
Hi Kundal,
From my personal experience, the best way to prepare for interviews is to go on interviews. I get nervous and forget what I know, so going on multiple interviews prior to the "big" interview gives practice and builds confidence at answering questions. If you blow one of your "practice" interviews, no harm done. I made the mistake of signing up for an interview just before I graduated for a company I really wanted to work for--my very first interview! Needless to say I blew it big time. Many interviews later another good job opportunity came along and this time I got it. I've spent quite a bit of time on the other side of the interview desk since then, and I can tell you that the confidence you show really does make a difference. How do you react when posed a difficult technical question? Do you know the answer right off? If not, do you stutter and stammer, or start working the problem out? Sometimes a good attitude about solving a problem is more important than having the answer immediately...not all problems we solve are ones we've seen before! Good luck on your next interviews!
