Interview

This is a One on one interview. And it is on campus. The interviewer ask me to introduce myself first, and then go through my resume. After 10 min, he starts to ask me technical questions. I didn't answer the technical questions well. I guess the reason is that I didn't prepare well for the technical questions.
