Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: The resume was as per the norms of our institute’s placement office. One should mention only relevant points in the resume because if they ask you something from the resume and you are unable to answer then they will reject you bluntly.

Round: Test
Experience: In the written test the questions asked were mainly aptitude based. The company had sent us some sample question papers before the written test. The questions in the test appeared from those sample papers only. Most of the questions were tricky – questions were framed in a very lengthy manner and the answers or the data required to solve the question was hidden in the last few lines. Many students wasted their time analysing such questions completely. Out of the 80 odd students who appeared for the test only 11 qualified for the next round.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: In the technical interview he asked me whether I knew programming, I replied in the negative. He asked me to suggest an algorithm to a problem. The problem was based on swapping of numbers. At first I gave a very bland reply. The interviewer wasn’t convinced by my reply and gave me another opportunity to explain me the process. This time I managed to answer appropriately. The interviewer then enquired about my internship and my projects.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: The HR interview was taken by some top company official. He asked me to narrate any challenging incident in my life that I had to struggle through to emerge out of it. One important thing to note here is that your CGPA would speak for you – if you have a good CGPA half the battle is won.

College Name: IIT ROORKEE
Motivation: TCS recruits a large number of students from various colleges across the country. Knowing this fact beforehand I was not much interested in joining the company. I appeared for its process as a last resort. The company had organized a pre-placement talk. I attended the talk and before appearing for the first round I went through the brochure that was given out during the pre-placement talk.

You do not require any specific information regarding the company to ace the interviews or any questionnaire.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Technical Round:

When my turn came in I walked into the room and Found two people sitting over there. 
Wishing them Good Afternoon i was asked to take my seat and I sat comfortably. This is noted very carefully. I had a eye to eye contact with both of them. I handed over them my certificates for them to go through.

Then my interview started (I gave my resume to him)

Interviewer: Kiran Paul Kani… right..
Me: Yes, its kiran paul kanikaram

Interviewer: Ok Kiran I am dennis voice Trainer at HCL Tech. It seems from the resume that you are working for India Air Force and why do you want to change the Job

Me: Bracing up a little I said I am working with Indian Air Force and because of Family reason I am about to resign the Job and also since I have completed MCA I just wanted to pursue a Technical Job.

Interviewer: Can you give me some more details as to why you want to resign a Government job and join a private one?

Me: Yes, I would. Since I am having a family to look after and with the present job I am unable to keep my family with me and also since my job requires me to be available 24/7, 365 days this was not a problem when I did not have these responsibilities but now it has become compulsion for me to look after and for me I think what’s the use of earning the money and not enjoying them with family.

Interviewer: Ok tell me about yourself?

Me: I told about my schooling and the place I hail from and the job I was doing in brief.

Interviewer: Oh great you could do your Graduation and Post graduation while doing a job and don’t you feel that was difficult while serving the IAF?

Me: Yes, It was difficult but I just wanted to come up in life and I already knew the price I am going to pay and it had taken a lot of hard work but finally I could complete.

Interviewer: Here is a passage and can you read it for me.

Me: I understood why he was asking so coolly I took time and read it comfortably.

(Now the interviewer showed me his laptop and told me to hear a conversation. I took the head set and listened the conversation)

Interviewer: What was the person trying to tell?
Me: I told him that the person was telling that he wanted a technical issue to be resolved pertaining to his Laptop.

Interviewer: What is the solution you have for him?

Me: I told him the procedure of how to solve his issue.

Interviewer: He smiled at me and said I would like to speak with my friend who wants to ask you about information. He works as a SME (subject Man Expert) and he picked up his cell and connected to that person and handed over me the phone and walked out of the room.

Interviewer: Hello Kiran I am Sam

Me: Hello sam

Interviewer: I work as a SME and hope Dennis told about me

Me: yes

Interviewer: Can you tell me how does a browser work?
Me: I said do you want me to explain the functionality of the browser.
Interviewer: yes
Me: I gave him the information of what he wanted.
Interviewer: can you tell me some thing about cookie and what it does?
Me: I told him the definition of cookie and the role it plays in the Brower functionality
Interviewer: Ok what will you do to change the settings of the browser?
Me: I explained him the process.
Interviewer: Tell me something about registry in windows?
Me: I told about the registry and told him that when ever an application is installed then it is this place that the registry keys are saved and based on this when ever we run the application it will fetch information from here and runs the application.
Interviewer: What happens when these registry keys are deleted or corrupted and how can you delete the registry keys?
Me: If the registry keys are deleted or corrupted then the application may not run or if it runs also it will create problems some  where else and to delete the registry keys we need type in Regedit command in the run window and press enter andthen from the registry window search for the keys to delete and selecting them we need to press delete key .Interviewer: Do you know Computer networks?
Me: Not fully but I have a fair idea 
Interviewer: Ok No issues. Thanks a lot.
Me: thanks a lot and gave back the cell to Dennis.
Interviewer: How was the interaction?
Me: It was good
(Dennis got a call and he typed in some thing in his laptop. I knew it was from sam)
Interviewer: Ok kiran please wait out side will get back to you in a few min.
Me: I said yes and walked out of the room and was little anxious but the people who were waiting outside wanted to inquire why it has taken a lot of time.
After some time Dennis along with Sam came up to the lounge area and called me and spoke to me saying that they were satisfied with my interview and told that they were checking my accent and my technical knowledge and told me that I was selected for this round and need to attend a written technical test and also if I clear there will be a HR round and if cleared will get the appointment letter. Then they handed over a sealed envelop and told me to give to the HR
I was a bit relaxed now and was waiting to go for the next round people around me congratulated. After few min a interview board member accompanied us in the Cab to another facility a few hundred meter away from this facility.
When we came to this facility we were given tags to enter the facility and Pooja came and called me into the cabin.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: HR Round
HR: Good afternoon Kiran and took the packet
Me: I said good Afternoon
HR: Now there will be a written test and that too MCQ type go through the question paper and answer them and you have 30 minutes.
Me: I took the paper and sat in the place assigned and went through the paper and answered them and after the time is up I handed over the answer sheet
HR: Please sit in the waiting room I will be back in few min.Me: I said Ok and waited in the waiting room.
After some time the HR came.
HR: Congrats you cleared the written test 
Me: Thanks 
HR: So you are a defense person and where are you working?
Me: Yes, I am working in Air Force Station Delhi.
HR: So you want to join a pvt organization from a govt organization, don’t you feel that you are loosing security of job?Me: Yes, I want to join a corporate sector since it was a dream for me and I think the circumstance have paved the way for me since I am also not interested to be in Air Force because I am away from my family and also this posting makes it very difficult for me to be with my family and it will be for five years. Secondly I don’t feel any that I am loosing Job security since any how I have to retire after 20 years of service and I have finished 12 years and I cannot justify to my duty if I am not interested. So owing to moral grounds I want to join a pvt organization.
HR: So you think that your family comes first than your job?
Me: It depends on how a person thinks but for me both are important because without money I cannot survive and without a job I cannot earn so I balance both Job and Family and prioritize them.
HR: What is the remuneration you are expecting from us?
ME: I am expecting a good remuneration from you but I would be happy if I am paid as per your organizations standards so that I might not feel that I am left out in comparison with my colleagues. 
HR: Are you willing to work in any shift?
Me: That would not be a problem for me because I have been doing duties in Air Force on the call and 24/7. So I do not have any problems
HR: Ok you may go..Me: I thanked her and walked out of the room.
After an hour the HR came and gave me all the details and told that I got Selected!!!
This gave me the confidence that I can do well in the future.
Though I did not join the Job it was a very good experience for me and it helped me in an interview which I attended in Bangalore in an IT company and which I have joined as a Quality Assurance Lead.
