How to face an Interview (software Engineering)

How to face an Interview (software Engineering)
  • ·         Be confident of what you say
  • ·         Always backup what you say with projects you done that will make them confident they will know that you are not boasting
  • ·         If you have not done any commercial projects do some project as you done it to a company and make a copy to a CD and present it to the interview board if they are interested they will look over it and evaluate your  software engineering skills
  • ·         Be hornets of what you say do not lie
  • ·         Be friendly
  • ·         You do not need to talk about what  you learn if the interviewers are professionals they already know what you learn at the university and what you don’t since they have met previous batches of your university
  • ·         Show them that you have a good capacity to handle large projects and complex logic
  • ·         Show them you understand the business concepts and you are able to implement them
  • ·         Most of the time the interviewer will ask to pick one of your project that you are confident on and ask to draw a ER, Class Diagram or Sequence Diagram and after completing he will ask questions  from the parts that is not clear to him or prats that he see as problematic so be prepared pick the system that you are comfortable most with
  • ·         Do not exaggerate things they will find out that you are lying
  • ·         If you do not know something they ask  tell them that you have no knowledge of it but you could easily learn it in 2-3 weeks be confident at what you say
  • ·         If you are in software development, ability to self-study and learn is a must. You should be able to google anything and should be able to lean anything as quickly as possible know that nobody knows everything and no university teach you everything your ability to learn new things will comes advantages when it comes to software development since industry is rapidly changing and you should be up to date
  • ·         It does not matter to them that you have 1st class, second class or general degree they want to know "can you do the job right?". That is the only thing matter so even if you do not have a degree and you show them your capacity they will hire you

Good Luck
