Negotiation Details – I was able to negotiate my start date and not much else. Pay scale and schedule is previously defined for each appointment.

Questions asked included behavioraland technical questions, so be sure to reveiw 'Star' interveiwing techniques. Be prepared to answer a lot of questions about past projects and work -on and be sure to include your relationships abnd conflict handling along with the technical stuff.
