     After a long struggling period of job hunting, and also read a huge number of interview books, finally I came to WETFEET [www.wetfeet.com] website and found some good advices for seeking job successfully.

Examples and Tips 面试问题举例
1.How many pieces of luggage fly through the San Francisco airport in a 24-hour period?
Candidate: The best way to approach this is to define luggage. Can we assume we’re just talking about personal luggage—the carry-on and checked bags of airline passengers traveling to or from San Francisco?
Tips:
(1)When answering a complex question, start by defining parameters to narrow the scope of the problem.
(2)Don’t worry about getting the exact figures right. All you need are reasonable numbers that will let you work through the problem.
(3)Don’t be concerned if the interviewer asks you about a topic or industry you don’t know well. Just be sure to ask questions about areas you need clarified.
(4)Be ready for the interviewer to challenge a few of your assumptions, and don’t panic when it happens. Revise your assumptions if necessary.
(5)It’s always okay to ask questions if something isn’t clear. Make sure to articulate any assumptions you’re  making.
(6)Before moving on, take a moment to summarize your progress and state your next steps.
(7)It’s fine to start a case with a working hypothesis. Just be sure to explain your hypothesis and why you’re pursuing it.
(8)Be sure to pay close attention and stay with the interviewer in case the conversation changes direction.
(9)Be prepared to move beyond theoretical discussions. At some point, you may have to show off your practical knowledge and business intuition.
(10)Showing you’ve taken the time to learn some of the intricacies of how a particular role operates is much more effective than simply saying you want the job.
(11)Use frameworks only if they’re helpful. You may not need them all the time.
