Selected Interview preparation journey
Journey
I was anxious before the interview process started, but I was able to control it and kept my mind on brushing up on the fundamentals, notably in web programming, JavaScript, and React. This strategy turned out to be really helpful because it substantially increased my confidence. I genuinely believe that interviews become easier to traverse when the basics are strong and combined with a positive and self-assured demeanor. I discovered that the interview process was more manageable and less intimidating by strengthening my fundamental knowledge and maintaining a positive mindset, enhancing my likelihood of succeeding during the process.
Application story
In my case, recruiter reached out to me over LinkedIn. They collected few details from me, and scheduled my interviews in same week and the process lasted for 1 week.
