Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: The fact that I was advised by my seniors to start working on my resume even before the job semester started highlights its importance. It took me almost a month to come to the
final master resume draft from which I would pick the relevant details for a particular profile. I would send out my resume draft to seniors who have been through this process as it always helps to get inputs from someone who knows what can go wrong. Companies have a pretty well established system to shortlist resumes in which they typically look for spikes in multiple sections unless you bring out a really strong picture of yourself in any particular one.
Tips: This one pager is probably one of the most important document you prepare in your college life and often the most under estimated one too. It requires a lot of time to improve your resume post feedback from experienced people, hence devote the time it deserves instead of starting at the last moment. Make use of websites such as Vmock. Also be authentic; forged points don't go down too well with companies as people from the same college are probably working there too. Add value with each point, try leaving an impression so that you are remembered over your competitors.

Round: Interview
Experience: The interview started with the customary 'tell me about yourself' question. Nervousness on my part was evident and a few HR questions were followed by a guesstimate. Went through as a monologue; towards the end the interviewer asked me to think if I had missed anything in the approach taken, I pointed out a few things but ultimately he showed me where I had missed a figure. Post this I asked a few questions about the firm and also took some feedback about the interview to help in the subsequent ones.
Tips: The key to acing guesstimates/cases is practice, practice and some more practice. Do not get stuck to a standard procedure, make your own framework to go around the broad categories of problems such as profit and loss, market entry, M&A and so on. Think broad; do not assume anything without a basis; get all the doubts clarified with the interviewer; pen it down neatly; be receptive to input's from the interviewer, they are probably hints to guide you through. Maintain a book to study the cases you practice and make the most of the buddy program. Specifically for guesstimates, practice thinking at least 3 ways to approach each problem.

Round: Interview
Experience: Could have been easily mistaken for a chat over coffee. With higher stakes of course. My interests, my strengths, weakness, achievements, failures, everything was discussed. In short, the partner checked whether I was the person my resume reflected and who I was beyond that.
Tips: Be yourself, speak from your heart and experience, you won't mess this one up. But do your homework, know the incidents you would want to bring up to highlight a particular trait of yours. Do not learn answers or the introduction, it sounds pathetic when reproduced from memory, be natural and keep things short. Your answer will drive the interview, so take it forward towards your stronger points. Do a few mock interviews before the D-day.
