Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: They had shortlisted about 40 people based on CV. Then they had interview rounds.

Round: Interview
Experience: I had prepared well for such a question and started explaining. They seemed disinterested till I told them about my hobby of reading business newspapers. This hobby of mine fascinated them, because it was something unusual. This became the center of discussion for the rest half of my interview. They asked me to explain some trivial business jargon.
Tips: I answered these questions well since I had knowledge about these topics and hence was able to impress the interviewer.

Round: Interview
Experience: Round 2 and 3 were a mix of Case Study and HR questions mixed. I was able to answer both the questions with certain help from the interviewer. They questioned me on my resume as well as asked me questions related to my BTP Project. Overall the interview went really well and I was hopeful of getting shortlisted.

General Tips: One must prepare well for the interview and one must realise that one can ( and one should ) always move the interview in the direction one wants. The initial HR questions can help in giving direction to the interview and hence one must prepare well for all of them. Also prepare a lot of puzzles, guess estimates and case studies for the consulting companies.
