Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - My technical interview round lasted for just 20 minutes. It's becomes easier to crack if you actually have knowledge about things you have put on your resume. My advice to prepare for the interview is to open your resume and start making flowchart of what questions can go next once you introduce yourself. In the introduction, include your strong areas so that the interview revolves around that. I used this approach in my first interview and it went really well. I got real good reviews from the interviewer. Lastly, stay confident in explaining and Good Luck.
