Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: It was great start for a day when i got a call directly from Shell's HR for Tax Role. Normally what happen either you route through any consultancy or through friends referral. She appraised me asking couple of question relevant for required vacancy, & i replied genuinely. Finally, she informed me like you profile been shortlisted for next round of telephonic call. And i was like how good thing can come in my way by own. Anyway, it seemed like they already screened my profile and yes my resume selected for next round of interview.
Tips: Be genuine to your words, make expectation clear, inquiry about JDs and skill-set needed for role deeply.

Round: Test
Experience: As i said this section was basically to check your hold on accounting and tax domain. Most importantly on accounting.
Tips: No tips needed, Bcoz if you are from commerce background then can easily opt those questions.
Duration: 30 minutes
Total Questions: 12

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: As like other candidate, i too was little conscious while entering inside the room. I had a fear like am i be able to answer to questions, how my voice-modulation will support me i meant it shouldn't be sound hesitate, similarly couple of other relevant questions were coming to my mind. Then finally, when interviewer (a hindi guy) started his talk in hindi to make me feel comfortable believe me i could able to restore my confidence and avoid wordiness. Thereafter, every single q he asked i replied and whatever i didn't know i simply nodded with NO which reflect my genuineness & i guess that helped me to get this job.
Tips: Avoid Wordiness and feel comfortable, if still conscious then don't hesitate to take sip of water, honest with your answer, thoroughly prepared what you have mentioned in your resume, Don't attempt to reply smartly bcoz recruiter will pick question from that and you may be in trouble and etc.
