Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - The interview panel consists of two members: the team leader and the manager. They specifically asked me detailed questions regarding finance, which included my percentage in my MBA, inquiries related to my projects, and how I learned about the company. While responding to the questions, it is essential to remain confident, and if a question is unfamiliar, we can articulate our response in our own words. We should answer them slowly instead of hurrying. Overall I have a great experience while answering the questions and panel members were polite persons.
