The excitement level is now rising. You have made it through the HR interview and answered all those behavioral questions. Now you are going to meet the team you will probably be working with when you ace this interview.
There is a strong possibility this will be a panel interview with your immediate supervisors. Now come the more technical and hands on questions. Again use your recruiter's expertise to find out about the people who will be interviewing you. And also the detailed specs for the position.
Understanding the job description is very important here as the technical questions will relate to the skills they are looking for. Again it is important to prepare. Go over the job description point by point with your recruiter. Whether you are being interviewed for a programmer or an accounts payable clerk be ready to show your skills. You may be asked to code or explain how a posting would affect the financial statements. The Internet has hundreds of sites with technical questions relating to specific skills. Practice, practice and practice them.
Here is a sample site of technical questions

You may also be asked brain teaser and simple math questions. A favorite question seems to be
"Why is a manhole cover round?" - It's actually quite logical, check it out at Wikipedia - Manhole Cover
Brain teaser, math and puzzle questions are used to see how quickly and logically you think on your feet. Monster has a good article on brain teaser questions and why they are used.

The key thing to remember in this interview is that these are the people you will be working with. So relax you have the skills or you wouldn't have been called back for another interview.
