Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - One of the things people think is that you must know everything or every technology/tool, but this is not right. You must keep your resume short including the concepts you really know well and which you have worked on in your project. Try not to include anything just for the sake that you have covered it in your semester syllabus.
Be confident, know your project details, its purpose, advantages and basic logic/workflow of it. Interviewer can not know about your project in 30 min. interview, so you must know how to explain the purpose and how you are going to achieve it.
Some simple looping questions(logic or error in a loop) can be asked, so pay attention to the question.
Some of the questions can be logical or puzzle, instead of running towards the solution directly think of an innovative and different approach to answer it beacause all they are looking for is logic and not just the correct answer.
