Be confident. Dont show to the interviewer that you are tensed. Prepare the answers to the HR questions<br />
beforehand. Be humble and dont try to boast about your knowledge. If you're given a chance, ask questions to the<br />
interviewer\; it shows your involvement in the company. All the best!!!

I was initially in doldrums because in the Technical Interview I couldnt answer most of the questions being thrust at<br />
me. Then I was asked if I had any questions or if i wanted to say something. I grasped the opportunity and told him<br />
that the interview didnt go as I wanted it to as I knew I had nothing to loose. Then I told him about the areas I was<br />
good at namely,the Stock Market overview and the Securities Scam.<br />
HR was a cakewalk.
