    Depends on the company, depends on the role within the company. I had interviews for Irdeto, Philips and The University of Leuven, hugely different interviews.

    Just be able to talk about the projects you've done during the course, problems you overcame in projects - that sort of general stuff and you'll get on fine.

    It's no harm to really know OO too. Not so much in my International interviews, but in my Irish ones (didn't end up getting International in the end) I was asked some questions about OO and Java.

    Some general ?'s that come to mind.

    1. What do you know about the company? Basic, but get this wrong and it's curtains.

    2. Where do you see the future of gaming going? Have you any of your own ideas for development?

    3. How do you work within a team?

    4. Can you give an example of where you were stuck on something, but eventually resolved it?

    5. Why are you interested in moving to this location/country?

    These are two important ones. Especially 5.
