Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I have come across people who have categorized interview difficulty level based on a company but it is all about you. If you are an experienced individual then they try out your patience, communication skills, research capability,confidence and last but most important is your honesty. Try be calm and composed in an interview . If you don't know something just say I will try to learn or gain more insight on the topic. This shows the ability of continuous learning. Always research about the company and if possible try to research the individuals who would be conducting your interview. Keep it simple and straightforward is the key to crack an interview.
