    I have question 😀
    Being a student of Core Branch, HR from software firms ask the question,
    "Why do you want to choose a software company though you belong to a core branch? Moreover, you have studied almost 40-45 subjects in core papers and merely 5-8 in IT?"

    I faced this question and gave answer as per my understanding and aspiration.
    I request everyone to pitch in to answer this so that we would have ample number of ideas how to answer this question. Thank you!

    Keep adding questions here. I'll create separate discussions for each question and then also add an answer. We can then add links to the questions to the respective answers 😀

    3.Introduce about yourself?👍
    "This is a common question where the candidate should answer in a unique way so that interviewer pay attention to you from the very first moment. Why I am saying from the very first moment is, you might be number 25 for the interviewer, and from earlier 24 recruiter has heard lots of Bio and in turn he might not be in interested anymore! Majority of candidates mug up the answers given in various websites and end up answering the question as a record player. The basic introduction is OK but it should not be like a Written to Verbal conversion of the Resume or CV" My batch's placement consultant told us! 😀

    1. Which is your favorite subject? Any random question about you.
    2. Interviewer might provide a blank paper and want you to solve some random aptitude numbers.
    3. Programs like sorting, searching are common where candidate is required to write logic on paper during interview
    4. There might be come "situation bases question" e.g. Suppose you are stuck in a situation like bla bla, what will you do?
    5. If candidate is facing an interview panel, please make sure, there must be one person who is observing your body language, your eye contact while answering the question asked by some other panelist. Body languages/signs plays a vital role! 😀 It would be better if we guys have a video tutorial which will guide our members in the best way!
    6. How to handle the situation/yourself when the very first questions answered by you are wrong/interviewer does not agree to you.

    2. Why are you changing from your existing company?
    3. There is a serious production issue in the application, who is the first you start blaming?
    4. Do you have any issues with your current organization?
    5. What are the best things you liked about your previous organization?
    6. What do you know about the new company?
    7. What have you learnt about the team or the product suite of the company?

    Why there is an year gap between you completed 10+2 and started engineering?

    1. Why should we hire you?
    Related to this - Suppose a person is frequent job changer, HR might throw a question - What is the reason behind your frequent job changes?
