Interview preparation journey

Journey

So the journey started when I was in my final year of college, preparing for placements and job interviews. I applied for this opportunity through Naukri.com as an off-campus opportunity. I couldn't make it and was rejected in the last round. But right now, I am working as a Software Developer in a reputed company.

Application story

I applied off-campus through Naukri and got shortlisted. I received a text on WhatsApp from the HR regarding confirmation of my availability. After that, I received an email with all the details of the round and the job description. I confirmed my availability, and the assessment and interview were scheduled for the next day.

Why selected/rejected for the role?

I didn't give proper answers to some technical questions and also messed up in the HR interview. So, be confident during the HR round and also work on your communication skills.
