Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I got a direct call to HR round, and I just had two questions. Please note this might not be your case, some people can get called to technical round before the HR round, If so, be prepared for technical questions related to that role. Also be prepared to explain the projects you did in college if you are a fresher. Some HR can ask many questions to make a decision, so you should not get nervous and face each question with confidence.

Make sure you give responses positively. Have an answer for everything, even if you don't know something, still tell them how you can find the answer or where can you look for the answer. HR measures how positive you are and also how confident you are. So be positive and keep your answers brief, keep it concise.

Good luck you got this!

Are we not even safe in our own workplaces?
An Infosys employee was arrested for secretly recording women in the office washroom. Over 30 videos were found on his phone. This isn't just shocking, it's horrifying. Offices are meant to be safe, respectful spaces. 🙎 When will companies truly prioritize safety and surveillance in all corners, not just the visible ones?
