Journey
Hello !! My name is Divya, I am 2023 batch B.Tech graduate in Information Technology from KIET Group Of Institutions (Ghaziabad).My journey from being a beginner to securing a job interview at an IT company as a fresher has been a challenging yet rewarding experience.I started by immersing myself in the basics of programming and computer science, learning languages like C and Java. I didn't just stick to textbooks; I actively worked on personal projects to apply what I learned. To complement my technical skills, I explored data structures, algorithms, and software design principles. I engaged in coding competitions and collaborated on open-source projects to sharpen my problem-solving abilities. Internships played a pivotal role, providing hands-on experience and a glimpse into the real-world IT landscape. I faced challenges along the way, but I never gave up. I adapted to new technologies and remained committed to learning. As I prepare for this job interview, I reflect on my journey with gratitude for the lessons learned and the growth achieved.
Application story
I participated in the Accenture Hack Diva Contest (for women), which was held on the Unstop platform. The application process required registration, and there were two rounds: an MCQ round and a coding round. After two months, the results were announced, and I was fortunate to be among the top contestants who met the eligibility criteria to advance to Accenture's Fast-Track recruitment process. Following this, I received an email from Accenture regarding a pre-placement connect session, where they provided detailed information about the recruitment process. Approximately a month later, I received another email to select an assessment slot for the first round, which consisted of technical and cognitive tests in MCQ format. Those who cleared this round were immediately given the link for the coding round on the same day. Upon successfully completing the coding round, I was invited to take a communication assessment a day or two later. After a brief wait, I received an email for the interview round, which encompassed both technical and HR aspects. Overall, my interview experience was positive, and the difficulty level ranged from easy to medium.
