Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - My interview was pretty seemless. I answered the questions confidently even though I was afraid and excited at the same time. A calm attitude is all you need to attend interview. I had 3 people in my panel. They were from HR, manegerial and technical interview conducted by each person separately at the same time. Since mine was a virtual interview, my video and audio was on and interviewers mic was only on, so I wasn't able to predict anything from their faces. Make sure your programming languages basics are strong (OOPS concept, difference between C,CPP and JAVA) and basic questions from your area of interest. Since mine wass an on-campus recruitment, I had sent my resume when I applied so they already had mine. I'm not sure about off-campus tho. Guessing it must be the same.
All the best do well, definitely don't panic and put up a very positive and confident attitude even tho you don't know the answer properly. Be subtle if you don't know the answer. Answer politely. Good luck and always remember "good things take time".
