Hi Ryan,
This topic is big. First the stupid stuff.
Did you send email(s) to the ppl you talked to 'Thanking' them.
If you get called in get emails and addresses for the same 'Thank you' notes. Yes, Write thank you notes as well as emails!
Have you read over the company website? Do you know what the company does? How you might fit in (job-wise)?
Do you know what the job you are interviewing is? What are they looking for?
NOTE: Every job description is a 'WISH' list, not a Must have.
So how well do you fill the wish list. List out what skills you have from their list and 'Practice' discussing your 'Successes' in these areas.
If you don't have a skill from their list tell them how you believe that the overall C.S. skills you already have will help you transition to the new 'platform?" or whatever it is.
In other words, You might need to sell them that you can help them with their problems. "You know I did something very similar to X and Y when I took over a project on Z. Here is how I succeeded at it."
You have learned all sorts of stuff in Uni. It is your turn now to connect the dots for them! "Here let me fill in this picture for you. You went to Uni to learn to Synthesize! This is your time to explain this in a HELPFUL, POSITIVE way.
my 2 cents, HTH,
