Interview questions

[funkfool]

I also had to diagram op-amps and show a 'correctly functioning' Vt curve and explain how it relates to transconductance (Gm).Interview was a bear... but then they intro'ed me to they other folks in the lab on the team and they were gun guys... so I fit right in!!
Turns out - that was a MAJOR requirement...
Still work there and so do the other guys...
We go shooting together about once a month in the summer...
again next Saturday AM.



I 'wood' be a Giant Sequoia... or maybe a 'circus tree'...

Please post an interview question that you've had at an interview. It can be anything you want.

-One that you weren't prepared for and really stumped you. If you were an animal, what animal would you be? -- from a leasing company in GA
-One that you are ALWAYS asked in every interview you've ever had. I see by your resume you've moved around a lot...
-Your favorite one to answer. Compensation requirement (A: I'm sure you have a matrix with a range for this position. I feel confident the offer you make based upon my experience and ability will receive my most sincere consideration).
-The one you hate the most. Ever been fired?
-The one you've always wondered how to answer. Where do you want to be in 5 years...

You get the idea. Let's hear it.

We had some really good info going on in here with all the new members. I took the advice about writing a cover letter and wrote one for a job I applied for tonight. I added one little funny tidbit to see if the person reading it was paying attention.

Just wanted to update this thread. I got a job and start soon. It will be a great change I think.

Congrats, Stirving! Hope it's something you like.

"So.. Tell me about yourself.."

That one seem simple but is often the first question. If you nail it, it can control the outcome of the rest of the interview.

You need a "2 minute me" where you talk about your strengths relative to the job. And obviously you want to keep it to about 2 minutes so you don't seem long winded or you also give the appearance of lack of personality.

Crap, just read that you got the job. Congrats and I hope it works out for you.

Glad you responded. This thread had a lot more input from people before the crash. Thanks everyone who responded. Very good input from you guys.
