Well - you can always shoot for the moon. Trust me though, you don't want "all companies recruitment process & interview papers" - Are you kidding?

Anyways ---- One thing that comes in VERY handy at my company, to answer ALL interview questions is something that we call PARLA.

Problem "What was a problem you had"
Action "What action did you take to address it"
Result "What was the results"
Lessons "What lessons did you learn"
Apply "How did you apply these lessons in the future"

You can use this to answer many generic sounding interview questions, ranging from "what is your biggest weakness" to "tell me about a time that you didn't work well with others".

Basically, the company is looking for you to present yourself as someone who _learns_ from their actions, and the PARLA method will force you into an answer which demonstrates your ability to learn. Companies will like that.

Hope this helps!

p.s. Don't write P-A-R-L-A on the whiteboard - it'll kill the mood

p.p.s. Reponding to "IT" vs. "Software Engineer":
Inside of the "IT industry", there is this distinction, that "developers" are far different from "IT people". BUT - outside of the industry, this distinction is not well-understood. I can easily tell people that I am "in IT", despite my background in software development. But thank you for pointing it out.

Dont think about the interview pattern or what u need to know, basically, thinking of all those will make you panic. Write yourself a good and detail resume and just be calm when it comes to the interview session. If you are nervous. Your voice is croaky and your hands are sweaty. If So far the interview has not gone as you have planned. If you are starting to think that this is the end, you are wrong. You still have a chance to get that job. You can control one component of an interview by asking questions about the role and the company. By asking intelligent questions, you are showing the interviewer that despite experiencing interview jitters, you do not a lack knowledge or enthusiasm. You should elaborate on your previous experience and show your interest in the role. Here are some questions that you could ask towards the end of the interview: How do you see me fitting into this role? By asking this question, you would be able to roughly determine how well or how badly you have done for the interview. Do you have any feedback on my resume or on this interview? Is there any room for improvement? Acknowledge that the interviewer is the expert in this area. What is the company’s vision? What is the company’s direction for the next 2 to 5 years? Asking these questions will show the interviewer that you want to be part of the company’s long-term vision. What is the dynamics of this position? How will this position contribute to the company? Do not ask these questions if the hiring manager has already shared some information about this earlier in the interview process. It is also worthwhile to ask specific questions related to the industry that the company is in. For example, if you were going for a job in the tourism industry, you could say that while the tourism industry is currently benefiting from recent events held in the country, how does the organisation itself see the future of the industry? Be observant throughout the interview and try to understand that type of personality the interviewer looks for in a candidate. For example, the interviewer may mention that the ideal candidate for the job is someone aggressive, focused and no-nonsense. Conversely, she could be emphasising on a warm and friendly personality. Understanding this would enable you to position your questions and responses accordingly. Happy job Hunting!

Hi. I would say that you should try to get some expertise in one of the more required IT functions. e.g. C programming in an IT would be a rarity. However perl programming would be a more common requirement. Or more common still would be Oracle expertise, Cisco networking, Juniper Networking, Linux Systems administration, SAP expertise, Windows expertise, mainframe expertise, hardware expertise etc etc.

If you are intent on using C programming skills - you would be looking at more of a career say in software engineer which it quite separate from IT.
