Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - A major mistake I made I ended up speaking fast which left to open to many breaks in my sentences. Take your time & think before speaking. Also I was overconfident & ended up saying I don't have any questions at the end.

Brush up basic technical skills. There is a high possibility they might test you for something from your degree or certification which may not be relevant to the job description mentioned or even the role you applied for.

The interview will be very casual.
