Be able to describe your thesis work in 2 minutes
This applies to the Ph.D. and the Masters candidates who have completed a thesis. The tendency for the interviewee here is to get into too much technical detail and hence spend too much time. The interviewer, however, will not be able to remember, or even understand, most of the technical details, so it's wise to leave the nitty-gritty details out. Instead, be prepared to mention what is so great about your thesis work and what you learned from it.
Remember, the interviewer will remember is (1) whether you have the ability to make her understand your thesis in a short period of time, and (2) the level of importance of your work.
