Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - >> Anyone with average understanding of Networking and Security can clear the two technical rounds.
>> However be careful for third round where their Directors and upper management will be as panel and they call you Noida for this round.
>> Do not go to Noida to waste your money and valuable time as eventually you are not going to be selected by giving silly reasons like you need to gain more technical expertise and their management will tell this without asking any single tech question!
>> They do not have clear understanding of hiring criteria and hence not selecting by giving random reason.

Interview Tips & Stories

Why are women still asked such personal questions in interview?
I recently went for an interview… and honestly, m still trying to process what just happened. Instead of being asked about my skills, experience, or how I could add value to the company… the questions took a totally unexpected turn. The interviewer started asking things like When are you getting married? Are you engaged? And m sure, if I had said I was married, the next question would’ve been How long have you been married? What does my personal life have to do with the job m applying for? This is where I felt the gender discrimination hit hard. These types of questions are so casually thrown at women during interviews but are they ever asked to men? No one asks male candidates if they’re planning a wedding or how old their kids are. So why is it okay to ask women? Can we please stop normalising this kind of behaviour in interviews? Our careers shouldn’t be judged by our relationship status. Period.
