I'm preparing for a "Google style" job interview. I expect questions on C++/OOP, data structures and algorithms, and perhaps relational databases.

There are lots of sources to help with preparation, I'll name the ones that I'm using. I'd like other suggestions (preferably online sources).

Joel Spolsky published an interesting article, "The Guerrilla Guide to Interviewing (version 3.0)" that may help you prepare.

I have worked for some of the best software companies around and done a tone of these interviews. We just published a book called "Algorithms for Interviews". Me and my co-author have put in 2 years of effort in it and we think the end result is very nice. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who is preparing for an algorithms/coding interview. Also, I'd love to get your feedback on the book at [email protected]
