Hi Fishes,
Does Deloitte USI have any cool down period, if you apply and do not get any response from the company? I had previously applied in a role, but didn't hear back from them. So, I'm planning to try to apply via referral this time and I'm wondering if I should use the same e-mail ID or a different one! Deloitte USI
Cleared Accenture Skill interview by answering almost all the questions and received congratulatory mail for HR round and submitting all documents. Then after a week received a call from HR saying that due to some technical issue, the skills round will happen again and an online assessment was set up. In the assessment, questions which were not directly related to the profile were asked and then a rejection mail was received. Does this happen a lot?
Hi Fishes, Sometime back I was interviewed for Technical Support Job role in my domain. T1 went well. T2, in my understanding was better only (not great like T1 but not blunder. I felt it was nice and i replied majority of questions). They released the feedback after 10 days with "Not Positive". I am not totally sure with feedback as I replied majority of questions correct. I am being bit curious with "Microsoft" tag. What can be the reason?
Discussion appreciated.

Have a 4 round loop interview for Sr. Product Manager at Amazon coming up through the MBA pathways program soon.
If I land it the trajectory of my life and that of my family changes but I'm starting to feel the pressure. I haven't had a lot of traction for job searching since I graduated in December so this is the best lead I have and I'm getting scared now.

Embrace it! You’re a human being and being a little nervous for a few minutes in an interview is absolutely normal and anyone that’d hold that against you is an idiot you don’t wanna work for/with

Same for me, I think it’s inherent for some of us.
I just deal with it and it improves as the conversation continues.
5-10 min before the interview, do a brief practice run of an easy behavioral question like "why this firm?" or "tell me about yourself" and say it out loud, even if just the first 30 seconds of your response. Record it if you want (perks of virtual interviews). That way you can hear your own voice and adjust it as needed prior to the real thing.
Ultimately if the nerves clear up quickly in the interview though, don't think anyone will mind if you're slightly shaky in the beginning. Totally normal.
Honestly weird tip but I’ve started playing pump up music (like Up or juice lol) right before an interview and for some reason it makes me feel so much more confident hahaha
I promise it really helps 😂😂😂
Small talk
Drink a warm beverage during the interview
Honestly if it's that bad just do some loud, deep vocal warmups beforehand
Deep breaths before going in and actively forcing myself to smile and act relaxed yet engaged helps me, just gotta make sure you don’t make it too obvious

I like to pace during phone interviews or any meeting that requires focus
