I got this interview after attending a career fair at my university. I handed off my resume and received an email from university relations the next day offering me a half hour interview slot.

The interview was a very warm one. My interviewer was very friendly and seemed to enjoy the fast-pace, competitive work environment associated with the semiconductor industry. He was very intelligent and articulated that the company expected large growth in the next five years. He said that he was interviewing over 35 people for two paid positions and one unpaid position. They expect a lot from each member of their team.

How many states are there in the US? (I can't believe he asked this)

Which state would you eliminate if you had to eliminate one?

What is it that makes you wake up before the alarm in the morning?

What would you do if you had a difficult client?

What is your typical day like?
