Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Accenture is having very good interview panel that listen to you very carefully and if you will honest with them, you will be appreciated. They will question you on basis of whatever you are doing right now and expect you to explain the things internally (as per your work culture) and globally as well. They explain you scenario very well on scenario based questions. Secondly, Accenture is conducting online interview with app called HireVue.

But I gave 80--85% correct answers to most of the questions. (Maybe I can give with 90% accuracy but rather then making you feeling comfortable, these people will make you afraid by there's way of looking and behaving like they are just going to throw you out!) But thank god, this doesn't happened to me, hah-aha..... :|
