My Interview Experience- I

I was not from a city background and I had a slight doubt somwhere inside my heart whether I could compete with those guys from cities.
Right now I am placed in
1)Cognizant Technology Solutions
2)Accenture
3)Infosys Technolgies

Write to me at saravanakumarbeonline@gmail.com for help and suggestions and I am ready to do my best...
Ok,Let me start from the month of December.I knew my placemets would be exaxtly after the last exam of my sixth semester.This was when I started worrying of my placements knowing nothing about placements not even the name of the companies I am going to attend.But one thing I beleived is that I can put in my 100 percent and my hardwork will never go waste.

So,From the month of January,I started preparing for the aptitude ,one topic at a time from 'Times' Material for CAT.I would learn the concepts clearly before going into the problems and see the example problems and solve the exercise problems.This is important because you can see only the example problems before the interview.I slowly gained confidence in solving problems.

As months passed by slowly,I gathered information regarding Group Discussion ,Interview and resume from my friends and Fresherworld.com and started preparing based on the idea I got from it.I would say Freshersworld was responsible for me getting placed.This includes preparing the answers for 'Tell me about urself','Why are u moving in to software from ur core field?'.I also prepared my resume on the way taking a lot of time and not finishing it overnight.

My Interview Experience -II

So,my first company was CTS and I got the questions from Freshersworld.com and made sure that I would clear the interview ,two nights before the interview itself.I didnt decide my areas of interest till the last day before the interview.I decided to put 'Microprocessor' as one ,as I had tha t semester exam a week back.Then I had a dialemma for the other one between 'Power electronics' and 'Object Oriented Programming'.Since I thought ,I would have to study 'C++' anyway for the interview,I prefered OOPS
,but only at 11.00 am the previous day.

Then I thought ,my entire life is going to change by the way I am going to spend the next 18 hours.I went into the library and started studying c++,which I last touched six months back exactly at 2.00 pm and finished it at 7.00 pm at a single stretch.I had never done anything like that in my life before.At that moment I know I would be placed the next day and it happened.Then I rehearsed my Aptitude questions,Interview answers and I went to sleep at 3.00 pm after finishing a small portion in OOPs that I didnot study.

The interview lasted for almost 30 minutes,mine was one of the toughest panels and they selected only 4 out of 20 interviewed.I have to mention ,I didnot revise 'Microprocessor'.The interview had only one HR question and probably 20 technical questions.17 of the technical questions were from OOPS and I had to answer the portion I studied before going to sleep the previous night for 15 minutes,thank God ,I studied that..The HR question was 'Tell me about urself'.
