Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Keep your resume short and concise. Avoid writing unnecessary stuff. Although I feel pointers criteria was the only consideration, but short and to the point resume will help you in interview.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Interview was pretty much on my extra curricular-projects and MTP+BTP. Since I worked on automobile suspensions in my 3rd and 4th year, I was asked deep and conceptual question on suspension systems. Technical Interview starts with tell me about yourself and switches to projects and then few question in general about your stream.
Tips: Just make sure you let the interviewer know your strengths and knowledge in few parts of the subject. If you are confident and fully prepared to sail the interviewer through your projects and answer all the difficult questions asked, then make it a point to drag the interviewer on to your projects. Technical + Team working Projects like BAJA or Effi are always a plus point.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: Same repetitive question. Its a easy interview to crack if you have prepared before hand with lot of situations in mind for each behavioral questions. Maintain consistency in your answers or they will catch you lying and then its very difficult to recover.
Tips: Don't blabber long stories on every question. It doesn't matter how much you speak, what matters is the content. So have different SAR (situation- approach- Result) for different HR questions. Be prepared for unheard question and just maintain your poise when put under some heat. Although Eaton's HR are pretty calm and soft spoken.

Tips: All you need is to know your resume by heart. You must be able to explain your thesis (for dual and M.Tech), your intern and key academic projects. You can also say something about your POR.

Round: HR Interview
Tips: HR round is not very tough. You just have to say: why Eaton? Whether or not you're willing to relocate to Pune? Tell me something about yourself? n all. One question on topics like quote an incident of your life where you solved a conflict between two persons etc can also be asked.

General Tips: Do's :
1. Learn resume by heart (Whatever is written on it).
2. If targeting core mechanical, you should know how to implement theory to practical situations (Just see some examples of such scenarios)

Don'ts :
1. As Douglas Adams aptly said: "Don't Panic".

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Technical round was focused on the technical work I did so far and once I started explaining, I was encountered on that with some fundamental and some application based questions. At the end, I was asked about the organizational skills that I have and my preference for the profile (since there were both technical and technical leadership profiles) and with sound reasons.
Eaton’s technical was like a step by step description of the technical work and I enjoyed it discussing with the panel. After around 25 minutes he introduced some part of the work from the company and I was excited to relate that to the work I was doing in the thesis and I think it went well. He gave me a nice smile and hinted me for the HR round.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: The HR Round was for checking my inclination to join the company and my attitude towards the job and it went very well. I enjoyed talking with the HR interviewers and was hoping for the positive outcome.
I was specifically asked about the relocation comfort to Pune and then about the team work as well.
