Technical Coding Behavioral
My interview call came early. The first round was Technical + Managerial. I greeted the panel members and they asked me to sit. For around 5 seconds, we just smiled at each other, probably to make me feel comfortable. Since I had attended other interviews before, I wasn’t that nervous. I broke the silence by asking if I could introduce myself. They said yes, and I gave a brief intro covering my educational qualifications, technical skills, on-site internship, and my projects. Overall, it was a smooth and friendly process. Anyone preparing should revise their projects, brush up on OOPS, basic HTML/CSS (if you have mentioned Web Development in your resume), and be ready for both technical and casual conversations.
