Interview Preparation Tips

Round: HR Interview
Experience: I was sitting for a placemnt process of Girnar Software..and I dunt knw wt happend but I couldnt clear my exams so dat I can sit for my interview process.. I was frustrated like a hell because I was a good student sometimes.. and it was my 16th day of my placement process of the placement season of IITR.. so when results for the interview came out den my name was not dere.. I felt bad like a hell.. I was in my room with my friend and then I started wearing my suit and then my friend told me - "Dude ur name is not in the list for interview so y r u wearing the suit mahn!!?" I didnt heard him becoz at dat tym my mind was on dat company n I wore dat suit and went to LHC (where interview ho raha tha  ) I  met with the CEO of the company (AMIT JAIN) and i told him,' sir wt u r looking for I have all those stuffs,plz gv me a chance so dat I can prove myself'.. and he replied " sry Anurag we dun hv any more vacancy here so we cant gv u a chance".. den I evoked - "Sir ek chij (thing h) h I wana show to u.. plz ek baar dekh lo aap..plzz::::

DAt was the moment for me yr!!

Tips: My conversation skills is good but at that time I was feeling nervous and if I wouldn't have asked her to converse in Hindi then I couldn't have feel confident at that time dat I should and I couldnt be me and the reason for giving me a chance for the 2nd interview was only my confidence and my wildness. So always be truthful, be confident and be wild ( try always to be different from others according to me). Although you don't know anything about coding, you don't know the thing for what they are looking for but If u are confident enough and you got the balls to impress others then it might help you a ton!

Round: 2nd hr round!
Experience: Then she came out and  she talked about me to CEO sir and both were laughing ( I dont know why :P )..then  she came to me and said- "ANURAG U HV TO WAIT OUTSIDE FOR OTHER INTERVIEW"..
