Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Since, my profile in previous org and in KGS were similar I was well prepared for all the technical round questions... whatever work I used to handle I had studied it well before my interview...and there was one question that I did not know so I simply told my interviewer that I do not know the same
Also, I showed them that I am willing to learn new thing whether I was being hired here or even if I continue with my previous org.
So, just be true and only show what you actually do at your job in your resume...do not fake it
