My Learnings –
- I tried to narrate my story if I was talking to a friend.
- Don’t be afraid, ask him for time if you need to solve something, ask doubts, be open and try to create a one on one discussion about the topic.
- For questions which feel like out of the box, try to give answers using the dbms, OS, and DS knowledge you have currently.
- Draw parallels.
- Last but not the least, it’s normal to be distressed when not being able to crack on campus placements initially, you will get things going your way just when you thought that things can’t improve from here on.
