Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Hi, I have given almost more than seven interviews, since being a fresher & first attempt CA. Qualified I received call from Big 4s & many other companies.
Something that I find common in almost all the interviews is that:
1. One should go through over your CV, as it is the basis of most of your questions. You should be able to share your articleship experience, client dealing & your work in a proper manner.
2. Be confident throughout your interview irrespective of whether you know answer to the question asked or not. Infact, when I gave my interview in PwC, I remember I was unable to recall few of the current affairs in a row, but I politely & confidently addressed that situation & I feel its my confident that made me pass through the tough situation & made me to be the part of PwC.
3. Be honest. No matter what. Don't lie your interviewer.
4. Be presentable. Try to be in formal attire as it reflects professionalism.
5. Answer with a smile on your face. This will infact let the interviewer know that you aren't nervous but are confident.

I hope you guys find this useful.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Interview is normal and if you're good at the skills, definitely its not going to be big deal on the questions they ask. The guy who conducts the first level will be pure technical with moderate difficulty and rest of the interview rounds are conducted by managers who doesn't bother much on tech stuffs. They will ask your salary expectations from starting of the interview screening. But at the end, they will collect almost all the documents required and discuss with you below the expected salary range. They won't even consider nearby your expectation. You know, there are plenty service companies like PwC who can offer better than 2x to 4x experience salary. Go for it.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Hello all.......!, this is my first interview experience, and i have answered self intro and technical questions well. When coming to that 3rd question, I have spoke regarding keeping in mind unprofessional life. But an interviewee must keep in mind and answer the question in the view of once profession. So this is the mistake i have done in the interview. So, my first interview with PwC , which offers high package has become a minus point, and one should get tensed and should maintain self confidence. So, its ok , everything happens for a good sense.
