Interview Preparation Tips

Professional and academic backgroundI completed Information Technology from Inderprastha Engineering College. I applied for the job as SDE - 1 in NoidaEligibility criteriaminimum 70 %Cadence Design Systems interview preparation:Topics to prepare for the interview - Data Structures and Algorithms, Object-Oriented Programming, System DesignTime required to prepare for the interview - 5 MonthsInterview preparation tips for other job seekers

Do practice a lot of questions on linked list and stacks as these are two most important data structures asked in the interview. Also, try to implement it yourself without seeing the solution. Also prepare for Computer Science subjects like Operating System, Database Management System, Computer Networks, etc. I prepared them through Coding Ninjas notes which were simpler and easy to understand. 

Application resume tips for other job seekers

Keep your resume short and up to mark and check spellings before submitting it for the interview process.
