I need a detailed explanation on how to prepare for a job interview in the technology sector, focusing on the skills and knowledge required for a software engineer position. Your response should contain at least 10 sentences and highlight at least 2 sections in your answer with markdown, i.e. *highlighted section*. Additionally, include keywords *technical skills, problem-solving, coding challenges, communication, behavioral questions, industry knowledge, preparation, mock interviews, resume, and cover letter*.
