Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I'll be precise. These rules apply to almost any Service based company for a fresher. You DO NOT need anything more than these points.
1. Be confident. Communication is the key. Even if your answer is wrong the communication skills will save to quite and extent.
2. Be very sure about your college project/internship. You need to know every nook and cranny of this. Recruiters are very interested in this and if you are confident on this along with point 1. rest assured the job is yours.
3. Programming is optional. A basic understanding of C/Java is expected if u are a CSE student. This is not so for non CS students, if you know how to code that's your bonus.
4. Know your company. This is important for any interview. You should read up a bit about the company you are going in for. This is expected of you.
5. Ask questions. At the end they will ask if you have any questions for them. Make sure to ask them something, like what is expected of me if I get this position, what are the additional skills I need to learn etc.

All the best 👍
