Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - The main thing I focus on giving my introduction well. And I try to detail my area of strength in the introduction itself. Say suppose If I have worked on a Game engine and if it is the area where I am very strong , then I would definitely try to end my introduction with this point. Generally the following questions can be 1. How much you can rate yourself in the specific language 2. They can straight away ask you about the last point you have highlighted on :in this case game engine.

1.If a interviewer asks you a question of coding and if you do know it, don't rush in answering it quickly . Take time, even if it is simple question of reversing a string.if you can solve in 2 min take 5 min (Don't take much long time).

2.Suppose an interviewer ask you any thing which you don't know, don't give up. Give it a try atleast once.

3. Suppose an interviewer asks you can it be done in some other way, or is there any way to solve it : the obvious answer is 'yes'. There is another way and that's what they are trying to ask.

4. Generally most of the companies won't ask you very difficult questions, if they do mostly it will be related to data structures. And suppose you are not getting a bit try using I.) Stack ii.) Maps iii.) Double pointers. 90% of my all interview question are wrapped around these.
