You and your resume are enough to secure the interview. Easy to say but do what you need to to relax the night before, good meal prior to the interview and just take it from there.

I can’t stress this enough- prepare for the interview. Know who you are interviewing with. Find them in linked in and write down their bio- research the company- test yourself with interview questions and the standard star questions which are based on behavioral questions and scenarios, such as tell me a time you handled this situation and what did you do to resolve that or tell me how you faced a work challenge . Be you- be honest and tell them why you want this specific role.

Hi Fishes,

I gave my various rounds of interview in Deloitte USI 2 months ago, and since then till last Friday it was showing " interview in progress" on their job portal, HR said earlier that we are interviewing other candidates. I got an offer from Amazon last week and asked Deloitte recruiter to speed up the process, i didn't get any reply on my email but now it's showing " review in progress" on the job portal. What does it mean? Shall I wait for Deloitte offer or take Amazon's offer.
