Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Technical + HR Interview
Experience: It started with tell me about yourself and though the job was unrelated to my subject, the interviewer kept asking questions about the core subjects I've studied. It was a small 5 to 7 questions type of interview.
Tips: I'll suggest everyone that the most important thing is to remain calm and answer honestly. Don't hesitate to admit that you dont like core and want to switch to computers or consultancy. Do not try to hide things when asked about. Be fluent while speaking and always answer softly. If it is a pressure interview then make sure don't start to raise your pitch while talking because later it will harm you
All the best
