interview preparation

Bone up on your embedded specific coding stuff. Volatile, interrupts, const vs. ram, etc. I saw a really great article a year or so ago by Ganssle in Embedded Systems Programming. Talked about embedded specific interview questions or something like that.

Some companies give you the typical C questionaire. Stuff with pointers to pointers, design a good sort, etc. Stuff mid level folk should nail well. Some are trick questions to notice if you are paying attention, so check your work.

The WinCE stuff - dunno.

Group interview? Once I had one that was 4 people...put a code fragment on the board and asked me what was wrong with it. Not much to prepare for, just make sure you look for error paths, uninitialized stuff, etc. Try to be the complete person.

Good luck.

a four person group interview sounds like the want to see if they think you will fit in, rather than how good you are. You could just as easily 'fail' such an interview for being too 'good' than for being crap.

Don't waste your time with them if they're using windoze ce.
