Interview Preparation Tips

Professional and academic backgroundI applied for the job as Software Engineer in NoidaEligibility criteriaAbove 7 CGPASamsung interview preparation:Topics to prepare for the interview - Data Structures, Algorithms, OOPS, OS, DBMS, CNTime required to prepare for the interview - 6 MonthsInterview preparation tips for other job seekers

Tip 1 : Focus mostly on data structure and algorithms, try to solve at least 3-4 problems daily if you're a college-going student or 1-2 if you're a working professional, on various platforms like LeetCode(preferred), GFG, Interviewbit (when the interview is close, best for company-wise prep). I think 250 + DSA problems from leetcode put you in a very good position of cracking most companies interview provided most of them are medium level problems.

Tip 2 : Apart from DSA, also try to do development side by side and make some decent projects to show on your resume.

Tip 3 : Never neglect Core CS Subjects, try to finish it from some youtube channels like gate smashers or knowledge gate, also you don't have to prepare all CS subjects as most companies ask only from DBMS, OS, and CN(computer Network)

Application resume tips for other job seekers

Tip 1 : Mention only those things that you really know and have worked upon in the past
Tip 2 : Showcase your achievements like ranks in a coding contest like ICPC, Codeforces, CodeChef, etc or maybe in hackathons (this showcase that you're a really good developer to the recruiter)
