Interview Preparation Tips

General Tips: I believe that, one should not attend any interview with some expected questions in my, as it will divert the candidate from the interviewers point of view. Stay calm with an open mind, cool, ready to face their question - yes, they only know their exact requirement. Then, be honest with the answer - say only what you know and never cover the unknown with fake ideas, it will kill your whole goodness. This is what I would like to share to all rather than few interview questions. Thank you.
