So, I went for this fresher role, and it was all about what I put on my resume. They really looked at my background and asked questions based on that, which was cool. It let me show what I'm good at and what I know. The whole thing felt pretty relevant and kept me engaged, like I could really show them what I'm about.

Behavioral Technical Coding
So, after getting selected from the Lumen Hackathon, I got to interview with the company. The whole interview process was pretty smooth, honestly. It started with the interviewer asking me to give a quick intro about myself. Then, we dove straight into talking about my projects, especially my final year one, digging into the technologies I used and the skills I put on my resume. Since I mentioned I'm good with Java, they hit me with a few Java-specific questions. They also asked about my college life and threw in some behavioral questions. Oh, and I had to explain how I'd solve a coding problem that used a HashMap.
