Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: The company conducted a Pre-Placement Talk at the college and shortlisted a bunch of students during the session based on their participation.
Tips: Have a clear understanding of the company and its work before hand. Follow the company on all social media sites, and check if there are any new projects they are involved in. eg: A few months before they came for placements, Sony Liv had launched its first web series on its app and on YouTube.

Round: Problem Statement
Experience: We had to write about "an Idea in the last 5 years, that had the potential to change the world, but failed. How would you implement it differently?"

Tips: As the time given is very short, you cannot spend a lot of time structuring your thoughts and your content. From what I understood, they are not looking for structure or writing skills. They are looking for valuable content and how easily you can explain it in a single page.
For topics similar to the one we got, chose content that you are aware of and have read about, so the content comes to you easily as you write.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: Asked me to speak about what I had written in the previous round as soon as I entered. The discussion that followed lasted about 25-30 minutes. This part was driven by content and ideas. Had a great discussion with the panelists.
Next, all sorts of HR questions were thrown at a fast pace. They did not give much time to think. Answers had to come spontaneously.
Tips: Be prepared with HR questions before hand.


General Tips: Pay attention to everything they say during the Pre-Placement Talk. They have high expectations from their Summer Interns. Make sure you have a clear understanding of the same.
Skills: 1)communication, Ability To Think Of Creative Solutions, Ability To Express Your Ideas, Ability To Convince, Idea
Duration: 2
College Name: Management Development Institute, Gurgaon
Motivation: Attractive sector to work in. New Experience.
Great Pre-Placement Talk.
