Hi Guys,
Not that my opinion means much, but please remember that all interviews are conducted differently. Who ever conducts the interview will question your experience and may get you to elaborate on answers you gave during the testing phase or ares that you show weakness in so it is always a good strategy to brush up on ares you are weak in but remember that if you say you have an electrical background and can't turn a multimeter on or have any idea of basic laws of electricity then expect to be asked a lot of questions. The same can be said for guys claiming to have an extensive mechanical back ground when all they have done was work as a back yard mechanic for a few years. Yes I am sure that this response will get a resounding batch of opinions as to the fact that they know someone who has no experience in any thing and still got the job but remember that the reality is lots of people want to get in but you need to stand out for all the right reasons and not be remembered for not being prepaired for the interview. This may sound like dumb advice but offshore we see it all the time as for some reason a person's pride gets in the way of asking questions when they are not sure and then proceeding blindly into a potential accident.
cheers,
