In fact, you're everyone who's ever lived through a technical interview. "No one has ever gotten every question correct," said David McCarter, who presented "Surviving the Technical Interview" at the 2012 Silicon Valley Code Camp. Here's some stand-out advice:

• Know what you don’t know and admit it. Per McCarter, being upfront about where your knowledge exists and doesn't exist is something the interviewer looks for. So be truthful.

• Don't be stumped by silly, logical questions. They aren’t meant to be answered correctly. They’re designed to see how you go about problem-solving and hear how you think.

• McCarter recognizes that developers sometimes have a hard time expressing their thoughts. He advises putting the discomfort aside for the interview and allowing yourself to think out loud.
