Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Resume and Criteria ::I had a standard resume for this company as per our institute placement cell norms.
The first shortlist was done on the basis of resumes and the “minimum CGPA” criteria to apply for the company was 6.00 .Nestle required all its candidates to fill a form. It consisted of some HR type questions. Some of the questions were-Mention your strengths/weaknesses.
What are your career goals?
Give one instance where you demonstrated leadership skills.
Give one instance where you failed.The short listing for the next round was based on the CGPA. Almost all the students with CGPA greater than 6.5 or 7 were shortlisted . Resume is a very important part of the selection process. Apart from the standard academic qualifications, it is important to mention the extracurricular activities as well. I picked up 5 such activities which I believed were important and significant and put them in my resume.
When you are mentioning any activity in your resume, make sure that you give a brief idea about what your role was in that particular activity. For example, if you were a part of some organisation and worked on the project, give a description (in not more than 1 or 2 lines) about what the organisation does and what was your contribution to it.Make sure that the resume isn’t too long. Darah naaah Nehi uunko .According to me it should be a maximum of one and a half page. I had the same resume for all the companies I applied to.
Tips: Most of the information regarding the company was obtained by attending the Pre Placement Talk. It is better to know about the products of Nestle that one uses in their homes. They also like to know what all idea you have about the work that they are offering. They also lay emphasis on family values
Round: Test
Experience: For Nestle – There was no written test for this company.Tough for Preparation for the written tests ,For aptitude based written tests of other companies I had been preparing for CAT and that (or any other MBA entrance exam) are sufficient for all aptitude based written tests .
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: Group Discussion:For Nestle ::::The next round in the selection process was a group discussion round. The topic given to my group was “3 Idiots”. During the discussion, the group members talked about the relevance of “3 idiots” in real life, high stress faced by students in engineering college , why are people inclined towards pursuing a career in engineering etc. Some other group was given the topic “Is expenditure on Formula 1 in India justified?” The topics were not arbitrary unlike those in some other companies and were based on current affairs. For another group The topic of the G.D. was ‘Economy of India, the problems in the economy and the solutions to them.’ Some of the other topics that were allotted to other groups were ‘F.D.I. in education’ and ‘M.S. or M.Tech’. They judged the candidate on various aspects. Candidates who were very talkative or the ones who did not speak much, got rejected.Each group had 10-12 students. Almost 60% students got shortlisted from each group. Even in the group activity, the short listing was pretty much influenced by the candidate’s CGPA. Generally, candidates with low CGPA were not shortlisted for the next round.
Tips: I didn’t prepare much for the Group activities except for a couple of mock Group Discussions with a few friends. If someone wants to prepare for GDs seriously, then mock discussions on any randomly selected topic with 4 to 5 friends, is the best way to do it.Reading Newspaper would help. The topics were mainly related to current affairs. Also the students who stick to the topic and discuss the core issues have a better chance of clearing the GD round
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Interview (HR and technical, 30 minutes). Some of the questions asked were:What did you have for lunch? (Ice breaking question)This question is not a part of their judgment. It’s just a type of ice breaker, an initiative of HR people to make you comfortable with the atmosphere. Be happy, carry a smile and its obvious to be nervous but don’t panic. Interact with them, don’t answer this question in a couple of words yet please don’t give all the ingredients of your diet. Utilize this question to loosen up a bit.Tell me about yourself and your family (emphasis was on family)Nestle is a company that looks into values and ethics with deep consideration. Frame your answer with less emphasis on you and more on your family. Try introducing them to your family ethics, moral teachings, their role in your life etc. Be honest and don’t exaggerate.And now Comes the main Drill ::
Also they often ask questions like “Why don’t you go for MBA?” or “Why don’t you go for MS?” So every candidate should prepare answers to these questionsTechnical interview: All questions were based on my resume. It is strictly advisable to be thorough with your resume and be prepared for practical questions related to your projects. Some of the technical questions asked were:Explain your project during the internship with ITC (emphasis on result)
2nd year internship project: Cooling towers
What type of cooling tower would be advisable for a humid area? I explained them my reasons for the choice that I’ll make using proper psychrometric chart. My answer was not completely correct but they were happy with the level of detail to which I was able to think about at that moment.
What is design speed of a turbine? I was not at all confident with the answer. I was framing my answer by judging the reaction of the interviewer. He was also helping me to explain what I was thinking.
What will happen to the power being produced if wind speed increases? I said it would increase but they didn’t agree with it and said that gears will be present to modulate the speed of generator accordingly. So I twisted a little suggesting that I didn’t included gears into my consideration and I was emphasizing on the energy limits that can be captured by the turbine. Show some presence of mind. It would be of real help.
Really Important one and asked abruptly: How was your CAT exam? I didn’t appear for it but if you do, try and decline it politely.
What sort of work you are looking for?
Round: HR Interview
Experience: Finally ::
The HR (Human Resource) questions were the ones that I feel I could not suitably reply to. They were looking for people who were very clear in their ideas. They also laid emphasis on family values. So when the results were announced i couldn't believe that i was one of them grin emoticon grin emoticon grin emoticon grin emoticon .
Tips: Tips :
Be confident and don't put anything shit in you resume . Be 100% sure about everything that you are going to spill out ....
