Interview preparation journey
Journey
I started with no prior coding experience and learned the fundamentals through online courses. To further enhance my skills, I tackled coding challenges on coding platforms, joined online communities like GitHub and Stack Overflow, and worked on developing my soft skills.
After months of preparation, I focused on Accenture-specific interview questions, polished my resume, and thoroughly researched the company's culture. Despite my confidence and perseverance, I was ultimately not selected for the Software Engineer position at Accenture.
Application story
I cleared Accenture's campus placement process in three rounds:
First assessment
Communication round
HR and technical interview
Why selected/rejected for the role?
I understand that I was rejected due to a lack of direct experience with specific industry tools and software, as well as areas needing improvement in technical assessments and interview responses.
