Experience: Basically my interview was mostly HR based because when I entered the interview panel without any hesitation I pointed out that my technical part is little bit weak and I am targeting at the position of managing director for which we don't require technical knowledge actually interviewer was very much influenced by this answer and then asked me various questions mentioned above.
Tips: the main point to be focused here is any interviewer keeps an eye on your confidence level, softness in your communication, attitude, adaptability, frankness, spontaneity and also the way you listen to him do remember your postures and gesture also matter a lot positive attitude should always be maintained in any circumstance.
