Interview preparation journey
Application story
I applied for the role of Application Developer through Accenture's Workday site (which was redirected from a LinkedIn post). My resume was shortlisted because it mentioned 3 years of experience and well-written skills matching the job description.
Luckily, one day I checked the status of my application and, to my surprise, it was at the interview stage, which is rare for applications through Workday sites. However, I have not received any message, call, or email regarding the interview schedule. So, I decided to contact them at candidate.queries@accenture.com. Shortly after, I received a call from HR to check my availability and schedule the interview.
Preparation
Duration: 1 month
Topics: ReactJS, React Native, React Fiber Architecture, iOS and Android native development, App Deployment, Vanilla JavaScript
Tip 1: Get into the implementation of mobile apps using React Native.
Tip 2: Work equally on Android and iOS app development to learn how to tackle the differences.
Tip 3: Don't just build—plan, execute, develop, and deploy so that you have an end-to-end understanding of the whole process. As your experience grows, people will expect you to go the extra mile.
Application process
Where: Company Website
Eligibility: 3 Years of Experience and Expertise specifically in ReactJS, TypeScript, and React Native
Tip 1: List your skills in chronological order, from the most used (and where you are most confident) to the least used (and where you are least confident).
Tip 2: Avoid writing your entire address. Instead, mention only the name of the city (if it is a major city); otherwise, use the state name. If you include a city name that is not well-known, the employer might not know where it is located. Therefore, it’s preferable to mention the state name if the city is less known.
