Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Hello everyone, I felt very anxious because I didn't want to face rejection since I just graduated and there are no campus drives at my college. I encourage you not to dwell on thoughts of rejection. I was fortunate that I stumbled at the beginning due to my fear of rejection, but the interviewer was very kind and said, "Don't worry, carry on." Also, make sure to practice what you've included in your resume.
