Today, I am going to discuss an interesting topic on how to make my technical interview be an impressive one.

The first thing I want to mention is that I can decide what skills or experiences are shown to my interview. I have worked in software testing area for more than ten years, I roughly know what my interviewer knows and what he expects me to tell him, so I can prepare some materials for these potential questions. But is it enough to leave a good impression on him? Definitely not!

Apart from preparing common questions I probably meet, showing my unique skills and knowledge is the key to success. An Interview is just like a conversation and everyone involved it hopes to learn some new and fantastic things, such as cutting edge technology and methodology, especially when interviewing a top position of a great technical company. Thus, paying more attention on proving myself unique will pay off. After all these top companies are looking for great talents and you have to provide enough evidences on it.

The most important thing during the interview process is showing my passion. Some vivid examples can be given and discussed with the interviewer, for instance, it is a good way to tell them which website I learn testing theory and skills from. Designing and developing testing platform is another way to express my passion on testing, after that I can discuss some details with my interviewer. It is better to explain why I chose to do this and how these knowledge and experience can add values for my work.

All in all, trying to dominate the whole interview process is essential and showing your strengths and talents helps the interviewer define your capability to a great extent.
