Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - 1) If you don't understand a question, ask the interviewer in you own words.
2) Be prepared for multiple rounds of interview but don't panic. The same questions will be asked in each stage, so you will by and large have the same answer, you may have to talk about specific things that each interviewer may ask. But all in all about you and your experience.
3) Always wait for them to make you an offer for salary.
4) When HR makes you an offer. Be prepared that it will not be what you want.
- Just remember that they have a script of questions they will ask, if you answer them then they will think you can be hired at their decided CTC for you. But if you list out more points they can add to their list then they will also have to increase your salary. For example, you will have to spend a certain percentage of your salary on travelling and rent, and need to save more. List out additional online courses you have done that the average candidate has not. Point out to them that you were nominated for an award in your last job. These things count.
5) If you don't know the answer to a question of their's. Then say you don't know. But always, let them know you think you could learn it.
6) Recruiters know you can't know everything, and they don't expect you to. They also want to judge you on honesty, and how you respond to pressure.
7) JUST BREATHE. It will go far better than you planned. All the best!!!!
