If you think you can, You Can !

Dear friends

Until i sat for TCS, i used to think that i would never be able to qualify the interview round. I thought that i have the worst communication skills in our batch. I even feared that i would completely choke during the interview and would run out of it midway. as it is, i am an introvert, i thought that i just wouldn't be able to interact decently with the HR manager. i had expected everything which could go wrong to go wrong!

But, all this was until the eve of the interviews. That was when i started my preparations on full steam for the interview. And that was when i started believing that i can do it.

Some tips to my friends- first, prepare all the 'expected' interview questions. by 'prepare' , i don't mean 'mug up'. just have the basic points in your mind regarding various questions. DON'T memorize the exact language for the answer, as the interviewers are very smart... they can catch mugged up answers in a sec! then they will ask you any question out of the blue, thus taking you into unfamiliar grounds.

moreover, whenever you answer any technical question, be sure to use only those technical terms, concepts, circuits which you know inside out. if you are even slightly doubtful of some term, don't use it.

another thing- don't try to bluff the interviewers, especially the technical ones! They are too experienced for that. also , take out some time to visit the company's website. It helps to have information about the company for which you are sitting.
arrange your formal dress well in advance. Also, do get the print outs of your resume in advance, not on the way to your interview room! These small things surely relieve you of last minute worries.

remember: determination and preparation give you the needed confidence to succeed.

On the day of the interview, be confident that you will make it through. Don't let anyone tell you that it would be a difficult one. Just remember that you have prepared hard for this interview, so you would surely succeed. And so you will!

ALL THE BEST TO ALL OF MY FRIENDS SITTING FOR SATYAM TOMORROW!
