We recommend that you come prepared with a list of questions about the position and Intel. This is your chance to really show your interest. Here are a few examples:
    What exactly would I do in this type of position?
     
    What role does this type of position play in Intel's mission?
     
    What is an average day like in this type of position?
     
    What are the growth opportunities in this type of position?
     
    What's management structure like in this group?
     
    What advanced training and development opportunities are available in this role?
     
 
Practice
 
Develop your answers to all the job-specific and interpersonal skills questions possible. Try to include specific examples of your skills in your answers, highlighting the following important areas:
    Problem Solving Skills
    We want to understand how you've handled difficult problems in the past.

    Results Orientation
    This is one of Intel's core values—we focus on setting challenging and competitive goals and acting effectively to meet those goals. Tell us how you've demonstrated this kind of effectiveness in your projects.

    Leadership and Team Skills
    Leadership and good team-work skills are necessary for everyday life at Intel. Discuss you have demonstrated these abilities in other settings.

    Communications Skills
    Open and direct communication is the way at Intel. We want to see if you can clearly articulate your ideas and communicate effectively in a variety of situations.

    Adaptability to Change
    Semiconductor companies, and Intel in particular, are very fast paced environments. Intel employees need to be able to innovate and quickly adapt to change. Tell us how you've shown adaptability to changing environments.
 
Dress for success
 
Even when interviewing for a position within a casual-attire culture like Intel's, it is important that you dress in professional business attire for an interview. This means women should wear a suit or dress, and men should wear a suit and tie.
 
Approaching the interview
 
Here are the most important points to remember before you arrive for an interview:
    Be professional and relaxed
    Fully understand each question and think about your answer before responding
    Be specific and brief with your answers
    Bring copies of your current curriculum vitae or resume and educational transcript
    Bring your prepared questions about Intel and the position you are applying for
