Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Took 2 interviews over the course of 2 weeks and then 1 hour before my scheduled final / HR round declined to hire me as they decided that they don't want to.
Utter disregard for a candidate's time and work. The humiliating level of such degraded professionalism that they cannot decide before posting an interview that they don't want to hire.
But they have the audacity to expect 7 days and open-ended work schedule from the candidates.
DO NOT APPLY.
