For example in a software developer role:
On my resume I write down the languages I am fluent in: Java, SQL, HTML etc... and in the job description they specifically only mention Java related qualifications and skills. How likely is it that the interviewer will stray from the job description and ask me technical questions about other languages I listed on my resume? Do job interviewers in the tech industry normally tend to stay within the confines of the description or do they stray from them? I have never had a technical interview before so I am curious as to how I should prepare and what to expect.
