Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I applied for BIM Modeler - Structure. Then my profile was moved for Senior BIM Modeler Technology position. HR Radha Punjabi was handling that interview process. 1st round was with an Indian Manager and Second Round was with Australian team. Interview went well. Then I received a mail that I have cleared both the rounds and it was udated in their WSP website. I was asked to submit the Documents in online which I completed. HR informed me that it will take a 1 week process. I was checking that website daily is there any updates available. And all of sudden one day they removed my profile from that website and there was not even a trace that I have attended the interview. I tried calling HR she asked to make a whatsapp message or mail. DID both no response. Then I will Try to reach her through call's but there will be no response. After a month she attended the call and informed me that she doesn't know what happend the australian team kept my profile on hold. Even at that time I asked her to move my profile to any other departments she said yes and Till date I have tried applying in every possible ways its been 3 months through thier website and other HR's no response. I am positing it here just for others to know about how they treat people. Do not expect too much.
