Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Interview
Experience: The interviewer was was a B.Tech., CSE, IIT Delhi and had been in Diamond for quite long. Unlike the rest of the interviewers, he was a puzzle freak.
First, he asked me about the work done in my internship. After explaining everything to him about the internship in a concise but fine enough way, I think he was ticked off about the fact that I hadn't mentioned my BTP, no projects in my resume.Rather than the puzzles, he started asking me various data structure and database questions. I told him well beforehand that I hadn't taken any particular interest in my department at all, still he asked me asked the same kind of questions.
He was pissed off a little. He asked me - What do you do in your free time? What do you want to do in 3-4 years. Then he asked me – What, if not consulting? I answered that I would definitely like to go for Sales/Marketing position in some company. He remarked that HUL was the company then. I told him that it wasn't open for CSE guys. Then there was some healthy discussion on the issue that why do companies don’t open such positions for CSE department. After some discussion he made one positive comment – ‘I would definitely ask the HUL guys to open a marketing position for you’ and waved me off. Only the HR questions went well. The last comment did make me stick around for quite a while. Ultimately I was told about my disqualification.I think luck played a huge role. My interviewer was from the same department and therefore had some sort of affinity to ask me the questions related to my courses.
