Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - There were two people one hiring manager and one person who asked technical.
This person was so rude.I hardly understood what he was speaking his accent was so bad.I don't understand how a standard company like Applied Materials even hired this person who is lacking at a basic level of Communication.

One should make the person comfortable before the interview to even get the best from the candidate.

First question in discussion was what is your salary expectations and what offer do u already have that's pathetic to ask this question in the beginning itself.

They don't pay well yet they expect the candidate to be perfect.
Worst interview experience I have ever had .
Please be nice to candidates.Have some standards for your hiring process don't be rude and arrogant.if you want to hire a potential candidate be nice to the person at the first place that's when you can check the knowledge and technical capabilites of a person not just simply ask same set of questions.
