Interview Preparation Tips
Round: INTERVIEW
Experience: My interview went on for about 1.2 hours.
It was the first interview I was giving in my life, and it couldn’t have been better. Before entering I had made up my mind that no matter what, I wouldn’t get nervous because I didn’t need to.
General Tips: Do’s and Don’ts :
- Do not try to be someone else during the interview. Because the person sitting on the other side
has the ability to figure it out in a jiffy.
- In your portfolio, please put only those things that you are proud of. You don’t have to show
everything under the sun that you have done. Your master resume is there for that. Your portfolio is
just to show your best work to them.
- Be confident about whatever you say inside the interview room.
- Try working on your portfolio by mid-august so that by the time the SPO asks for your portfolio, you would’ve had the time to make 3-4 iterations on your final one.

Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: My resume included 12 websites which I have produced during my four years and also reflected some back-end skills.
I was shortlisted in last 55 students for the software developer profile.
Tips: If you are targeting the front-end or back-end profile, then include your projects in the resume.For the front end profile you should have knowledge of intermediate javascript and MVC frameworks.
General Tips: Revise all your material and basic concept of front-end skills to crack the interview round. You should be able to deliver on basic concepts. Questions at interview are a bit tricky, as they don't ask the simpler ones.
Skills: javascript, angular.js, backbone.js, jquery, html, css, php
College Name: IIT KANPUR
Motivation: Housing is a fast growing startup and for someone like me, it's a dream come true.
Funny Moments: They don't consider the CPI during the shortlisting if you have done significant work in that profile. I was selected in housing at 5.2 CPI and I have also answered  many questions incorrectly. The interview process is very classy and you will enjoy it :)
