Preparing for the on-campus interviews
April 13th, 2008 by Vineet | No Comments »It is that time of the year when thousands of students across Indian colleges are preparing for on-campus placement interviews for the IT companies … Here are some tips from my friends’ and my own past experience…
First and foremost, prepare a good resume. A good resume should have all your achievements listed (in a reverse chronographical order). List all your marks right from class X clearly and truly. Your resume should not exceed more than 3 pages. Use standard fonts and sizes. Do not copy (PLEASE) anything from your friends…It’s very easy for interviewers to catch you. Do not give details about your family or your personal details (It’s not a marriage bio-data :)). You should know the meaning of whatever words you use in the resume. You should have enough justification for whatever you write (eg. if you say you are a good team-worker you should have something to prove it).
Next the preparation. For apti, logical reasoning, etc. pick up any one book meant for CAT or GRE preparation. My preferred choice is Barron’s GRE (Infact sometimes TCS directly picks up questions from Barron’s GRE old (I guess 4th) edition). Practise the questions…I know it will be very sad but you have to
For technical, revise your basic concepts. They are really important. You can get a GATE book and revise from it. That should be really helpful.
In case you are weak in English, don’t worry. Start watching English movies and start speaking in English. Believe me just in a week you will be quite good at it. Yes, there may be some who’ll laugh on your broken English in the beginning but ignore them because if they laugh at you they are not your friends. (Do one thing, find some of their weak point and humiliate them once …they will never again laugh on you 
).
On the day of the exam and the interview, try not to be nervous. Be cool and confident. Don’t lose heart if you do not get through in the first chance. You have got something better for you in store…Trust me 
All the best…
