Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - The exam is very easy, everything comes out from the topics that is needed for an SRE.. The MCQs are easy but and ofc in the exam hall there's the chance to cheat but it's futile.. Just complete your test asap and submit because time plays an essence too.. have confidence do it fast that's all.. As of time I couldn't move up to other round but from what I heard second round isn't that hard.. if you can clear 1st then 2nd Is somehow similar in terms a questions just a little hard to speak out because that's an interview, I'm talking about the chance that students have from college, the SRE INTERN
