Well I survived the round one interview. They are revisiting the top 3 candidates, and I have to go back for interviews Tuesday at 2:00. I'm told this will be one-on-one interviews with several individuals instead of a group interview.

Hmmm... My son downloaded that movie, but I didn't watch it with him. Maybe I should watch it. lol

Here's a good interview question... What's the worst thing you have ever done on the job.... Well, we migrated a client to Small Business Server NT4.0(I think), and didn't know about the new licensing model... lol... Not going to tell them that one...

Micro, turn everything into a positive.
What is your greatest weakness? " I find that I troubleshoot potential problems" and sometimes people don't understand why. So I have learned to explain why it might become a concern."

Find out what the company's goals are and let them know how you're uniquely qualified to help them to achieve their goals.

Google some tech interview questions, here's one I found:

We discussed these goals in the first interview, so I will be prepared to discuss detailed solutions for each in the next round.

I nailed it... They didn't even ask any of those stupid behavioral type questions... They called me up yesterday though, and offered me 55K :)
