Interview tips:


  1. Be there at the venue at correct time.
  2. Be very confident
  3. Do not lie about anything
  4. When interviewer asks you to tell about yourself, please don't start your biography. Ain't nobody got time for that. Just mention your name, may be your college and how you are good for this job.
  5. Let the interviewer finish the question, do not interrupt in middle. And also it's okay to ask to repeat the question.
  6. When you do not know answer to a question, simply say you don't know. Do not give stupid answers.


    Do you know Linux?
    Yes sir. In my college we used it. I know it's a very good.....
  7. When you are not sure of an answer, tell the interviewer that you are not sure. And yes, it's okay to do so!
  8. Before coming to interview, practise solving questions on white board in home.
  9. When you know multiple programming languages, ask interviewer in which language he prefers get the answer. You don't want to answer in Erlang when guy has no idea about it.
  10. It's totally okay if you cannot solve an programming question. Really. People are not interested if you got the correct answer or not, they are very interested in 'How' do you attempt to solve it, how you think and how do you arrive the answer.
  11. Be good at Divide and conquer, BFS, DFS, Dynamic & Greedy programming, Graphs.
  12. When interviewer has done with his questions, ask him some good questions. Please don't be naive and stupid and ask, Sir what your company does. A good question would be:


    Sir I saw your project XYZ on GitHub. In one of the modules you have used ABC. I can't seem to understand why you made that decision. Why not PQR?
  13. It's not at all necessary to wear formals unless it is specified
  14. It's okay to have a goti or beard! You can still be well groomed with those. Just be clean and smell good. And yeah, don't forget to take a bath.
  15. Also, girls please talk louder in interviews. Seriously.

These are my own views. You do NOT have to agree at all.

 if I have missed any point, I will add them later. Hope you enjoyed reading this.
