Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Experience, Skill Set, Background, Residing City

Round: Telephonic Technical Client Round
Experience: HCL's Client from US called me to test my technical knowledge. They asked me a few basic questions that had already been asked to me in the very first technical round. They also asked me about a few things which the HR had already asked (about career break, business trips etc.) They were basically cross-checking the information that I had already provided.

Round: Managerial Round In person and next day on call
Experience: Would-be reporting manager called me for a face to face round. It was a brief introduction and basic questions which had already been asked. This lady had an urgent meeting with the business head after 1 hour. So she fed my mobile phone number on her personal phone and asked me to leave for the day. I thought I did not make it. Funnily, she called me the very next day at 5 pm and we had a long discussion of about 45 minutes on call about a few technical stuff related to technical writing basics, content writing basics etc.

Round: Written First Round
Experience: The very first round was written round. Purely written and only I was selected out of a bunch of people for the technical interview face to face. It lasted for 2 hours. Questiosn spanned through RDBMS, C basics, SDLC basics, Software engineering theory basics etc. Pretty easy. Anybody can clear it.

General Tips: Stay calm. Don't panic. On the first written round day, wear casual clothes. You most probably will not have a written round on the same day. They will call you for one, only if you make it. In case you make it through this written, 90% of your job is done.
Skills: Dressing Sense, Communication, Body Language, Problem Solving, Analytical Skills, Time Management, Decision Making Skills
Duration: 1-4 weeks
