Seeking Advice: How to prepare for a job interview?

greanbean

How do you guys prepare for a job interview if the interview is NOT a specific type (i.e. bahavioral based or case based)? How do you prepare it throroughly so that no matter what situation you are in, you can always find a way to handle it?

My real concern is:

There are many stuff to prepare. But how do you throroughly go through all the necessary areas to make sure you feel comfident enough to handle all the tough questions that you never think of before?

It feels like software testing. You can't test all the cases with a rigid time frame, but instead focus on the core parts and most critical parts. if those vases passed, then the existing criteria is met.

Hope I am clear about what I meant to say :)

Any advice or personal experince to share?

Just like you said, you can't imagine all the possible situations.

My advice is, try your best, write down the questions and answers as many as possible. Stop doing that one or two days before the interview and go through all those Q&A for a couple of times.
