Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: On the basis of CGPA

Round: Technical + HR Interview
Experience: I was extremely nervous as this was going to be my first interview as a fresher. Adding to that, their first question was ' who is your favourite basket ball player?' as my CV mentioned that I used to play basketball in school-life. I just didn't know whether I should blabber an arbitrary name or give the honest answer. After giving the latter I was asked how crude oil is seperated from water. I told them that if some time is allowed then crude oil and water will be separated in two layers. Now I dont know why it seemed to me that crude oil having asphalts, coke should have greater specific gravity than water and should appear at bottom. After giving the answer, from their expressions I knew that I had screwed this as well. Now they asked some more teasing questions like why I had joined IIChE, how many meeting I had attended and so on and I don't remember the rest as I was close to tears by then.
Tips: At the end, one of the panelists gently told me 'Please don't be so much nervous from next time'.
