Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - My interview was rescheduled 3 times!! And after finishing my technical round, there were no updates at all. They just completely ghosted me. No matter what the result, you have to respect the candidate's time and interest and inform them about the same. On top of this, the interview itself was a disaster. The interviewer was uninterested and was making the process much more difficult for me, asking irrelevant questions that are not my expertise or complex considering I just have around 2 years of experience in the field. Overall, I just didn't like their attitude towards candidates.
