MY Interview experiences

[chayanika]

admin,


i have attended some interviews and i would like to share the experiences.


but before that i hv a request.all the contests u conduct are helping allthe members very much. but in an interview, the written test consists of both aptitude and technical. so i would request u to start a technical questions contest also covering the core subjects like C, C++,Java,Database etc. and moreover i want u to please explain all the answers in aptitude, reasoning and puzzles contest coz sometimes the answers don't match with mine and i don't find out why.


now dear friends,i would like to share my interview experience.


1. i have attended a no of interviews. mainly they were organized by our college.here in calcutta we don't have much walk-ins.


2.for almost all the interviews we were informed 2/3 days before. so its very essential that u should always be prepared so that u may attend the interview anytime u r called for. anyway,i prepared reasoning and numerical aptitude from RS AGARWAL and from different company's question papers and also from sample papers available online. for those u may refer to placementpapers.com, sureshkumar.net,4futureengineers.com,freshersworld.com etc


andfor the technical portion i prepared mainly C from kanetkar,Gottfried, datastructure, C++ from kanetkar, database from korth,date,bayross and java from schield and OS from galvin.


3.most of the interviews consisted of 4 rounds, written,GD,technical interview,HR round.


written paper usually consists of apti and technical questions.technical questions mainly include pointers and some Object oriented questions.some companies like accenture also hv a database paper.


in GD round i faced topics like "egg came first or the hen","women are better managers",


in the technical interview round u r asked questions mainly from ur final yr project and some basic questions from C,C++,java and database. sometimes they r so basic that u hv to think a lot before answering. as i was asked "in this room your interview is going on. u identify the class, data members and member functions here"


in the HR round there are some typical questions like


a)tell me something about yourself


b)ur hobbies


c)whr do u want to see urself 5 yrs from now


d)r u mobile?


e)are u ok with working at night?


f)why should i hire u?


in almost all the intervies i was thrown out in the written round.but for the last two interviews i was through to the HR round. hope next time i will make it.[img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img]


4. for almost all organizations i will suggest to prepare aptitude thoroughly and basic concepts of all the core subjects. in the technical interview round u will be asked "which sub you are confident in?" be sure whichever subject u state u answer 90% of the questions perfectly.


5.mainly in the interviews i attended at the first stage, i was not very serious in the apti portion and also i was not thorough in pointers and mainly pointers are covered in the technical portion. in some later interviews, i was very nervous in the technical round and may be it was my lack of confidence i could not answer some very easy questions and ended up with fumbling.


6.in these days i m working on apti everyday. and also i m regular in touch of all the subjects.
