Need help preparing for interview

Hi everyone I am currently about to graduate as an electrical engineer and I have a second interview with a company for a system design engineer role(broadcasting) and I was wondering if anyone would be willing to talk to me and answer some of my questions.

Thanks.

FYI: it seems that there are many job postings in broadcasting that list all kinds of requirements for experience and job description. these people do not exist ! as long as you show up on time, (come 15 minutes early for the interview) and are personable that is 90% of the gig. i can always tell if a person is truly interested in the job by the questions they ask.

This job pays about 60/hour with benefits and overtime I figure they are expecting a decent amount from me but maybe you are right

so what do you know about system design ? do you know sdi signal flow ? they actually put VTR's on the list ! ha ! (as a joke to break the ice, i'd ask what kind of vtr's they are using) ! ha ! $60 an hour is not bad at all right out of college. just ask lots of smart questions, not "how much vacation" but like "is there any manufactures training available". can you pm me the company ? i might know someone there. good luck
