Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I have always been a person who likes to focus on the technical skillset of my job and not the communication skills. However, in today's society, it is important to have good communication skills so that you can be successful in your career. If you are looking for a way to improve your communication skills, I suggest that you try to write down your ideas in a journal. Write down what you think about, what you are passionate about, and what you want to accomplish in your life. This will help you become more creative and also help you with your communication skills.

I applied via Campus Placement and was interviewed in Jun 2022. There were 5 interview rounds.

Round 2 - Aptitude Test 

The first part of your examination that might be of any company starts with aptitude test and one who has ability to solve those questions will be benifited because screening depends on the score that you get in your aptutude test.So my advise is to please spent some free time to solve aptitude questions and try to understand it.

Round 3 - Coding Test 

Case 1:
If you are giving your examination for IT companies the 2nd round will be coding in which most of the questions related to strings,arrays and operations.Try to practice as many as questions and logics related to those topics.If you are from non IT/CSE then atleast try to learn c, if you feel it difficult then go for python because python does not take much time to learn but if you learn python first,then you were unable to learn other languages like java and c++ because you will be feeling more difficult to understand them.So my suggestion is thought it takes time, first learn c language and practice as many logic as you can(strings,arrays, expressions) then if we find time learn the concepts of java,python and c++.But at least try to learn either c or python such that you should be able to write a code using any one of these languages.

And in other case:
if you are giving your examination for any marketing company's then you will be going to group discussion round and if you clear that round you will be eligible for giving interview.
