Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Be confident about your concepts. Sometimes they will pose questions where there is a missing information and you need to point it out. Smile in between and remember that you should answer the questions in a simplistic manner so that even a non-tech background person can understand your answers. This is very underrated and very much appreciated. Using fancy technical jargons is not appreciated. But to demonstrate your knowledge you may use those jargons only after you have explained its meaning. Be aware that reply to interview answers in a way you teaching a kid asking questions.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I cleared the assignment round but got rejected in the role discussion round. The reason for rejection was that the role is not aligned with my expectation. The role requires more writing and less mathematics whereas I wanted some math oriented role.

I should have prepared for some of this questions in advance like how to explain my previous work to someone in simple language with a completely different background. I should also have aligned my expectations with that of the role (being too honest is not a good thing).
