You should expect to be asked questions about computer kinds of stuff.
--cut and paste
--blue key functions
--alt-control-delete
--setting margins in Word
--opening Explorer in two separate windows so that you can hide the porn site you're really looking at
As for interview tips...read the back posts here there are many. My synopsis would be:
--be over-eager and naive
--gush over any IBM products you see on the way into the building
--stress your experiences as a nomad
--negotiate aggressively for as much as you can upfront...but be ready to cave at a moment's notice.
--be willing to work for many years with no psychic or financial rewards
--if at lunch, don't drop your tie in your soup (not a deal-breaker) |

EYORE - You must not be in TSG! If you were, you would not have missed the following most critical skills:
- Mastery of PowerPoint (primarily the ability to draw rectangles and connect them with different types of arrows. Mastery of other shapes not necessary)
- Ability to quote movie dialogues freely and out of context in response to client diatribe
- Ability to state that MQ is the answer to it all even though you have no clue what it is
