Hi, I recently got selected as SAP Consultant in EY GDS,I have overall 3.4 years of experience and relevant experience in IT( SAP ) is 3.2 in XYZ Technologies and earlier I worked in (Non-IT)Byjus in Sales for 2 months and came out from Byjus without proper releiving. I applied in EY GDS with 3.2 Years relevant experience and I didn't showmy Non-IT experience in resume and Candidate Information sheet which I filled during Application form. Now I have proper documentation from Current Company ,I don't have proper documents from BYJUS & the same is reflecting in EPF Service history. EY GDS recently Initiated BGV process through Digiverifier and asked me to fill experience details, I filled only current company and I didn't fill Byjus.Anyway Digiverifier will access my EPF service history, Will my BGV pass or fail ? or Will EY asks for any clarification and will allow me?

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - There were 2 panels. Both were Senior Tax manager. This interview consisted of both HR + Technical but wasn’t a stressful. It was lasted for somewhere 40-45 minutes. Both the interviewers were calm throughout the process. They were looking for good communication as well as technical knowledge. All the questions were from basics of Accounting and Tax. I have answered all of them. It’s not necessary that you will have to answer all questions but whatever you’re explaining them it should be well explained. My interview went well. I think I did well as a fresher.
Mantras to do well in an interview:
1) Be Confident
2) Good Communication
3) Good Technical Knowledge
