Winning Software Developer interview questions

The interviewer started by asking me a couple of questions about my CV (technical and otherwise). After that I was asked some classic generic questions about my biggest strengths, weaknesses and worries and I was asked to prepare a small presentation about a topic of my choice in the area of information technology (I was given a computer and 10 minutes to do so). I quickly made a presentation about cloud services highlighting the its main challenges and advantages and the recruiter was pleased with the results. It was a bit stressful, because I had to essentially pull it out of thin air, but I think it actually helped me demonstrate my capability to solve problems quickly. In the end the partner with which I would be working closely took over the interview and we talked about the project's goals, what tools we would use and other things. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.
