Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I would like to advise that just think that this is only a meeting, not an interview.
Just feel relax and discuss things with the interviewer whether it's about technical (Theory or practical experience) or personal.
Give the answer with confidence, if you don't know the answer just say. I'm not able to recall the concept rightnow.
Furthermore one last thing and important one. Prepare your resume/ CV by yourself and update it on a weekly/monthly basis according to your best knowledge. Because these TWO/ONE pages of your resume represent to you in absence of your presence.
Just mention your work experience, project done by you (whether as a team leader or as a team member), key responsibility, and your education/qualifications.
Don't mention your strength, weakness, hobbies and all kind of things. if the interviewer is interested to know about your strength, weakness, and hobbies, He/She will ask you about them.
Just keep resume simple and short
