Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: The role required the knowledge of international standards and I had the knowledge but not much of experience. So I highlighted the work done in that area in every single project I have done.
Tips: Do prepare your CV according to the job profile.

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: We had to first give our own priorities and then convince others to the same. I was the one who gave almost all the priorities opposite of others. But I had my own reasons and I rated every need of the hour according to the different criterias and at last I had answers to everyone who was against my answer.
Tips: Just speak what you really think about the topic. That way even if you are wrong, you would be confident enough to accept it. Listen more speak point to point.
Duration: 20 minutes

Round: Group Activity
Experience: There were two teams after the GD and we were given few props. From those props we had to prepare some goods and market it. The challenge were to produce within limited time and limited resources and then market why ours was better. We made very small diverse products and in good quantity. We also named our business which gave us extra advantage.
Tips: These activities identify who has the leadership qualities and how you perform within a team. You have to be open minded and welcome all the ideas given by other team mates and show that you posses leadership qualities.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The interview was of around 55 minutes. I managed to give 60% - 70% answers.
Tips: When you dont know the answer properly, just say that as per my very limited knowledge on the topic and then answer, what you really think is. If you dont have any idea about the topic, dont try to give any answer.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: I was brave enough to give answers honestly.
Tips: Just be yourself.

Skills: Leadership Skills, Finance, Accounting, Team Working Ability, Emotional Quotient
College Name: Institute of Chartered Accountants of India
