Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Interview
Experience: They asked to write 2 codes on recursion. Then some questions on resume. I asked them about the job profile and after knowing that they were hiring candidates for frontend programming, about which they didn’t mention in JAF. I told them that I was not interested in frontend development. And didn’t even answer any question after that. Unfortunately, I was selected.

General Tips: Plan your schedule judiciously keeping your capacity in mind. There is no point of making ideal plans and then not able to do even 50% of it.
Don’t get into unnecessary arguments or debate with people.
Don’t think about what others are doing. Focus on your preparation.
How you carry yourself matters. So, make sure you portray yourself in the way you want the other person to perceive you.
Be selective while applying for companies.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - 1) If you don't understand a question, ask the interviewer in you own words.
2) Be prepared for multiple rounds of interview but don't panic. The same questions will be asked in each stage, so you will by and large have the same answer, you may have to talk about specific things that each interviewer may ask. But all in all about you and your experience.
3) Always wait for them to make you an offer for salary.
4) When HR makes you an offer. Be prepared that it will not be what you want.
- Just remember that they have a script of questions they will ask, if you answer them then they will think you can be hired at their decided CTC for you. But if you list out more points they can add to their list then they will also have to increase your salary. For example, you will have to spend a certain percentage of your salary on travelling and rent, and need to save more. List out additional online courses you have done that the average candidate has not. Point out to them that you were nominated for an award in your last job. These things count.
5) If you don't know the answer to a question of their's. Then say you don't know. But always, let them know you think you could learn it.
6) Recruiters know you can't know everything, and they don't expect you to. They also want to judge you on honesty, and how you respond to pressure.
7) JUST BREATHE. It will go far better than you planned. All the best!!!!
