Interview Preparation Tips

Professional and academic backgroundI applied for the job as SDE - 1 in HyderabadEligibility criteriaAbove 7 CGPAVirtusa interview preparation:Topics to prepare for the interview - Linked List, Binary Search Tree ,Queue, Array ,DP ,Graph ,RecursionTime required to prepare for the interview - 3 MonthsInterview preparation tips for other job seekers

Tip 1 : Competitive programming plays a major role when you are appearing for coding rounds as a fresher. In the coding rounds, you won't get direct problems copied from Geeksforgeeks or Leetcode. You would be required to use your logical thinking to go ahead in the process. This is where competitive programming helps.

Tip 2 : Coding rounds are all about Coding + Timing. Most people fail to excel due to the pressure of a timer ticking on your head. So, instead of just solving problems, try to participate in timed contests. This will help you be used to the pressure of the timer.

Tip 3 : Many big companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and even Google expect you to be good at standard problems. So, once you are done with coding round by your logical skills and competitive programming, you must be well versed with some standard problems in order to excel.

Application resume tips for other job seekers

Tip 1 : Make it short, crisp, and simple. It is always good to have a 1 pager resume. 
Tip 2 : Resume must comprise of the following: Educational Qualifications, Technical skills, Projects, Work experience (if any), Achievements. Other than this, you may include some extra co-curricular achievements.

After all these question he again looked at my resume and asked me 'why your CGPA is low?' I said that when i was in my first year i had interest in electronics but later when i encountered with programming i decided to have my career in this field so i could not concentrate on my core subjects.

Next question was ' what do think about dowry?'. At first i was surprised to hear this question but i realized that interview only want to check my ability to speak on random topic. I answered the question by criticizing dowry and he was pleased to hear my answer. After one or two general HR question like location preference , he told me that your interview is over please wait outside for result. It was really nice to meet you . Thank you.
