I gave my resume to the recruiters through the campus career fair and received an email for an on-campus interview in a couple of days. The on-campus interview was the initial screening.
I have to confess I was not very well prepared, but at the same time, it was the toughest interview I have ever had. The interviewer went over all the reliability concepts.
He had perhaps two or three questions ready. The way he conducted the interview was such that every technical word that came out of my mouth, he asked about it and wanted to get into its details. Technically, I was the one who was giving him the interview questions.
He asked me a wide variety of things, from Weibull++ software to system reliability to accelerated testing methods.
