Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - The interviewer and HR exhibited a laid-back demeanour. I question the credibility of the interviewer, as he appeared to lack knowledge. The questions posed were quite basic for the job role, indicating the interviewer's unpreparedness. Communication difficulties on the interviewer's part disrupted the flow of the interview. He did not share feedback for two whole days, only providing an update after I proactively inquired with HR.
