Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - This interview was technical 1 and it's all about 30 minutes around, during interview interviewer ask sometimes baseless questions but interviewee should catch the trap and respond trick to the answer. Sometimes interviewer argued during his or her point how they are correct on their ask but advice to the interviewee not to get into the dispute/argument rest all is depend on the person who is taking an interview technically.
Some formality question may ask like tell me about yourself? what were you are doing so far?are you comfortable for something like in night shifts? etc to check your communication. I advise be honest with yourself on this questions so that you may avoid searching next job after immediately joining the next organisation. I also request don't say yes for sake of yes for the offer and based on that you search the next organisation during your notice period and finally you may drop all the less offered salaries organisations, believe me the offer which you have rejected that may help to the needy person and also maintain the trust in the IT industry if you are honest with yourself.

thanks and best of luck.
