Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Technically sound is the first goal to achieve to face Oracle interview.
All technical interviewers are friendly people but they expect minute level of technical skills especially first 2 rounds.
If you can ble to crack first 2 rounds, you may have 90% chances to get selected. Some times it may happen to get on hold due to budget issues.
You wont get able to track the process until they need you to next round over a mail communication. Mostly it is one way communication until you complete the director round.
Your mails wont get entertained until their need.
But luck and hard work definitely help you to achieve Oracle.

All the best.
