By an Interviewer
👉🏻 1) I don't care about your resume
Startups want to hire you not for what you have done in the past, but for what you can potentially do in the future.
👉🏻 2) Do not oversell
Instead, undersell & prove otherwise.
👉🏻 3) When you are entering a different domain than your studies, have a project/experience to show your interest.
At least a book you have read. Or, blog you follow.
You must show your willingness to learn.
👉🏻 4) Beat the nervousness
Either, be nervous & stop hiding it. Or, don't be nervous.
Being nervous & trying to hide makes it worse.
👉🏻 5) Don't ask questions. Ask smart questions
"What are the company's policies on holidays?" No ❌
"If I am hired, what would my typical day be like?" Yes ✔️
👉🏻 6) Silence is better than rambling
On the other side, if you are solving a problem, it's better to speak your thoughts.
👉🏻 7) Have something unique about you. Anything.
It could be you are exceptional at gaming.
Could be you have 10k followers on Quora.
Find a way to include this in the discussion.
👉🏻 7) Be quick & quirky
Interviewers are not always looking for the perfect answer but how the person handles stressful situations.
