Examinations are formidable even to the best prepared, for the greatest fool may ask more than the wisest man can answer. (Charles C. Colton)
Passing technical interviews used to be the bane of my company’s existence. I would send very qualified individuals for programming jobs. They would come back from their technical interview bleak and hopeless. They had failed. They knew it.
Then I bought 3 copies of the book, Ace The Technical Interview. I lent the book out before the interview. All of a sudden I had more people getting jobs.
Get an unfair advantage
You don’t need to buy that book. I have something better. You can get great questions for review. You may also be able to get the exact questions you will be asked.
Go to your favorite internet search engine and look up “interview questions forklift”. You will find a list of typical technical questions for forklift operators. Now replace “forklift” with the technical part of your job you get questions about. An accountant can put in “audit”. A programmer can insert “Java” or “J2EE”.
Even if you aren’t technical
Are you in Sales? Check out “interview questions sales”. Try this technique out in your field.
The final query
Make sure you check out the name of the company you are interviewing with. Some people have made a habit of collecting interview questions from various companies. They have put them on the web. You may be surprised when your interviewer asks you the exact questions you have prepared for. You’ll love it.
