Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - The hiring manager contacted me and there was just one round to be held. It was a video interview and there were 2 interviewers. The interviewer asked me to give a brief overview about the projects that I had done and then started asking questions about Forecasting, which I mentioned him I have never worked with. But he instead kept on asking case study regarding forecasting and I had to guess answers. No single question from my projects was asked.

Advice - Read the JD carefully and prepare everything mentioned in the JD as well as everything that's not.
