Help with job interview preparation.

So far I have had 3 phone interviews over the last month and I have 5 face to face interviews onsite for next week.

Before the 5 face-to-faces I have to do a 50 question aptitude test and 3 essay questions so that they can have a writing sample.



This is by far the most elaborate interview process I have ever had to go through and am doing the best that I can by preparing ahead of time so that I do not waste their tme nor my own in the process.

I've googled aptitude tests and job essay questions but am looking for first hand experience with both.

thanks
 
This position will be with a special teams support group, supporting software created w/ another company outside of the country.

I do software quality assurance now and I never had to go through anything like this.

They are however worth about $700 million more then my current company.
 
well, i guess as far as advice, just be honest. they must like you enough to have gone this far already. my guess is they just want to check you aren't a complete psychopath or anything..
 
Personally... I used to stress out about interviews a lot... and then managed to screw up the interviews *badly*... and did not receive *any* job offers resulting from the interviews where I was worried about how it would go or what I would say.

I had two interviews last week. I just decided to "wing it", and go with the flow. Of course I was prepared, had copies of my resume, etc., but I just wasn't worried about it in the least bit. I already had a job, and I wouldn't have been terribly disappointed had the interview gone very poorly.

Instead, the interviews that I didn't stress about in the least bit were the ones that resulted in some nice job offers, last week. 🙂

Cliff's: don't worry about it.
 
Don't know if this helps, but the two job interviews I have had I didn't really want the job. So preparation was zero, no stress, and I dressed quite trashy. Still got em somehow.
 
Really the best things you can have are confidence, appearance and apptitude.

And smile a lot.

You are selling. So sell.
