Interview for Graduate Web Developer, how to prepare?

Hi guys,

I've got an interview for a Graduate Web Developer job this week, and i was just wondering how should i prepare for it?

Should I expect a technical test of some sort? Should i get to revise my HTML/PHP etc?

I haven't ever done an interview for a job like that, I do know of a few people who did interviews for jobs similar to that and would have been asked maybe to write a piece of code briefly on paper in a quick test. That is going back a few years now, not sure if they still expect that now in an interview. I have learnt PHP and HTML in college so would be a good idea to brush up on it if interviewers ask you a question on how you would approach a certain type of website with suitable code. For example they might ask you how do you sign in with cookies or with a session, the code be slightly different for both but the same concept when signing in and using PHP code just the code will vary. You might be asked to explain a piece of code or something like that. Best to practice the code anyway beforehand in case they do ask. Might be an idea to go back over assignment or exam questions you did in college in relation to PHP and HTML.

Best of Luck OP!
