Programming Interviews Exposed is a good crash course, it will have a lot of the general questions that you must know. It’s a good start, especially if you have little time. This probably won’t get you all the way there, though, for a tough interview. To really do well, you need to have a good understanding of the fundamental algorithms. The Algorithm Design manual is a good mix between practice and theory, and is a bit quicker/more accessible than the classic Intro to Algorithms

I pretty strongly disagree with using TAOCP. If you’re looking for a well-written , rigorous and comprehensive resource, this is the book, but for this, I think it’s something that would only yield benefits after a lot of time.
