Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - One thing I learned being a fresher (and a low scoring fresher too) is that one won't always get what they set out to get. I saw people who had done all sorts of programming language courses and didn't want to do operations or AMS. While it's important to aim for the job you dream of, it's also important to be pragmatic. So if you are struggling to get the job you want, start somewhere so you can sustain yourself.
