Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Resume is the candidates face before the interview. All the things that he/she wants to communicate should be communicated well and in an organized manner. Giving excessive and irrelevant information doesn’t heed well with the company and the recruiting staff. For, non-core jobs a long resume is not necessarily a good resume. They generally prefer a short and concise resume giving only the details relevant to the job profile being offered. For example, for a post of Business Analyst giving a long list of technical and course projects will not help the candidates cause. I personally focussed a lot on Position of Responsibilities and extracurricular activities, especially those showcasing my leadership and oratory skills.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: The first interview began with some questions about me. The interviewer asked me to tell something about me and my hobbies. Then he moved on to my resume and asked questions related to my intern and the PORs I had held and asking me to give a brief description about the duties involved. These questions were basically to ease me into the interview. Then he asked the routine interview questions like why consulting, why not a core job, what makes you think you are suited for this job. He asked me to relate some incident that showcased my leadership and teamwork skills. After the HR part, he gave me a case study. I was asked to estimate the market size of the bulbs market in India. It was an easy enough case study and I asked a lot of questions like whether I have to estimate for commercial and domestic both, for bulbs and CFL both etc. The catch in the question was to consider the replacement ratio for the bulbs and CFL.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: The second interview also had a similar beginning with the routine questions. Then he moved on to case study which was a number crunching problem. He gave me almost no details and just narrated the situation. I had to as all the questions probing for the numbers and the data. The case went on as he kept elaborating the case with new additions.

Also, the interviewer was senior partner in the firm and I felt that I had made a genuine rapport with him. I felt free and asked him a lot of questions about his job, the job profile and how important an MBA degree is for the future. He explained me the details and I had a very healthy communication with him.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: This one was pretty short and quick. The interviewer decided to ask me questions about my hobbies. We discussed about Hollywood movies, actors, football and my other interests. We both shared an interest in Hollywood movies and we had a nice time discussing the merits of my favourite actor, MORGAN FREEMAN. Then he gave me a puzzle. There are 25 horses and only 5 can race in one race. I had to determine the fastest three horses in the minimum number of races (the answer is 7. Try it out. It’s not very tough). I was not able to solve the puzzle on my own but he guided me with various clues and finally I was able to complete the puzzle with his help.
Tips: Be prepared with the routine answers but don’t mug them up. Remember them in points and elaborate them as you go through the monologue. Answers to questions like why consulting and why should we hire you should be prepared very well. Prepare these answers yourself and don’t mug up some standard answers. The interviewer will know when you do that. Prepare some questions of your own about the job and the company and ask them to the interviewer when he gives you the chance. Don’t get nervous if you can’t get some question but instead try a new approach or ask for help.

General Tips: Focus a lot on extracurricular and PORs in the resume but at the same time keep it balanced. Prepare for case study interviews and puzzles. Be through with your resume and why you are there for the interview. Getting selected for the interview means you have an equally good opportunity as anyone else, so be confident.
College Name: IIT KANPUR
Motivation: The major information about the company was obtained from the pre-placement talk held by the company at the college campus. Also I talked to some of my seniors working there and in other consultancy firms as business analyst to get a feel about the profile and job description. Also enquiring about the attributes that the company majorly looks for from the seniors helped a lot.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I interviewed with Techved consulting and had a horrible experience, it was like a bad dream.The process was a mess from start to finish ,process started with getting a call from the company HR, second interview was scheduled with CEO after 9 pm ,before logging in zoom call i confirmed with HR for the scheduled interview at 9 pm & was confirmed by HR ,waited for more than 15 minutes and nobody turned up ,after 9:15 pm HR says CEO is busy & rescheduled it to another day at same time 9 pm ,this time too before logging in I confirmed with HR if the CEO will turn up for the interview which I was told yes and I logged and waited for CEO to join but he didn't after multiple calls & Text to HR , finally CEO joins the meeting around 9:30 Pm,spoke to CEO for 10-15 minutes & he asked me to come down to his office for final conversation with him.Went to the mumbai office,they gave me a form to fill and strangely asked me to write an essay which i never did for any other company being having so many years of job experience.
And also till the time you don't reach their office HR will follow up with you like anything ,once you enter the office then it's totally a different world. Mine second half of the day was totally wasted they call me in goregaon office & intentionally eats your time for the meet which was mutually pre booked and confirmed scheduled.So after filling the form i was made to wait for long time before this person Francis comes who was never present in whole process and again takes the interview & he asked everything in detail of companies worked ,your targets ,incentives, remuneration etc and when asked him about his company salary & incentive structure he didn't reply & said that will be informed later also the budget they have is less of what I am expecting but the incentive is great and people are making three times of salary as their incentive ,asked him whats the target given on which he reply it will be informed later ,They want to ask you everything & when you ask them response is, it will be informed later .I told him I already had a discussion with another HR about the budget on which i was assured its fairly in range and also I am here as per the CEO, for meeting him for final discussion.After that I was again made to wait for more than a hour and they keep moving you from 1st floor to 2nd floor as per their small conference room availability.After waiting for about 3 hour I told the HR that I am getting late & will be leaving as I have another work commitment on which HR looks for CEO and ask me to wait for few more minutes,just when I was about to meet CEO, Francis ask me to wait and sends a girl who came to interview much after me being there, which was highly unprofessional & then francis ask me to meet another guy on different floor for interview before meeting the CEO ,gave the interview to this new guy and again they want to know everything about you and when u ask about the job nature and process he said he is from finance team once you join the team will guide u ,also they don't pay u for the days you worked for since their salary cycle is 20 to 21 and they hold employee salary of the 10 days and give it as FNF when employee resigns which is absurd .So after extensively speaking with HR & CEO on call along with waiting for more than 3 hour Francis comes an says that I have more experience and they are looking for a junior role with less experience and I can leave now,I told him I spoke extensively with HR and also with the CEO ,who invited me for the final meeting .First company found where the HR is more powerful than CEO & override CEO commitment & does insult candidate with zero respect for candidate time. Too many hints they gave as Red Flag ,it's a typical lala company with baniya employees behaviour.
-10 rating for Techwait Insulting company
Ceo should make their HR write an essay on basic human interaction,work ethics ,Time management, professionalism & Toxic traits.
Life Tip - before joining this company make sure you have a good Health & Term insurance .
