How would you go about preparing for the job interviews

How would you go about preparing for the job interviews?

1. Firstly, reflect back on your past experiences and achievements by going through your resume to sell     yourself more effectively.

2. Secondly, understand your prospective employer's requirements and correlate the requirements to your experiences & achievements so that you can convince your prospective employer as to how you can add value.

3. Thirdly, research the organization you will be interviewing with.

4. Most of the interviewers start with your resume, and then get into more technical questions. Brush up on the fundamental technical questions. If you are confused about what to prepare, I have put together some books and blog posts to brush up prior to job interviews. You will find other very useful resources at amazon.com.

  • The book entitled Java/J2EE job interview companion  covers a wide range of  core java and enterprise Java technologies shown in the above diagram.
  • The book entitled Core Java Career Essentials focuses in more detail with regards to some of the core Java must know topics like data types, language fundamentals, OO concepts and data structures.
  • This blog compliments the books with more coverage on multi-threading, sought after frameworks like JSF, Spring, Hibernate, etc, and handy tools like Selenium, JMeter, etc.   
  • There are other good paid resources at amazon.com and free resources in terms of quality blogs that you follow to constantly keep your knowledge and skills up to date.
5. Brushing up can give you the much needed confidence in the interviews. It is natural to be nervous, but think of each interview as a free training session where you get to assess your strengths and weaknesses.

6. Interviews are not just technical contests, and it is an opportunity for both parties to assess each other. With some preparation and know-how, you can stand-out from the pack.

7. Books are there only to guide and help you learn from others' experience. But for real success, you need to pro-actively apply what you learn by experiencing it yourself. There is not substitute for hands-on experience
