Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: I was a first year undergrad student and was trying to get an internship in financial market. I came across the company on internshala and submitted my resume and was shortlisted.
Tips: The basic thing is to keep the resume short and to the point. Resume is not your autobiography and the recruiter is not interested in knowing which song you like. Keep it to the point and focus on things which would be meaningful to the cureent job. Also its really important to make sure that you resume is free from typo and gramatical errors

But if agriculture booms, the farmers will get money, ie there would be cash in circulation and just after july marriage season would start and generally in marriages people buy a lot of motorcycles(hero motocorp to be precise) and watches(titan).

Hence, these might be a better area to invest in.
Tips: Study the matter carefully. Be aware of the recent happenings in the field. The interviewer should have an opinion that you are seriously interested in your field and are aware of the basics of it. Be confident and whatever your stand is, present logical reasons for the same
