You will be asked general as well as specific questions towards your applied domain.

This will also give the interviewee the opportunity to get to know the board members and tell them what you expect from the community and vice versa.

They will assess your all round skills and will take the FINAL decision.

Pro Tip: Again, be yourself! Just brush up your knowledge of the applied domain so that you can answer the interview questions comfortably.
