Interview Preparation Tips
General Tips: In resume: (tips) For non-core, mention related POR’s. If not sure about courses (related to the company’s profile) mention later towards the end of the resume. Focus on quantifying your work. Display the work through numbers. Eg. 100% increase in the efficiency of the process due to my involvement. Arrange the items either by dates or through importance. It is preferred if peaks are mentioned at the top of the resume. Check for formatting errors. Restrict every item in the resume within 1 line. This is done to save space & add up more data. Try not to exceed 1 page. In interview: *don’t display negativity: end in a positive tone (when asked about your weakness).
