Go to every interview u get even if the job is not perfect for you. You need to practice interviewing somewhere

Do you mind sharing what happened and how it happened?

Hi Guyz,

I went through the entire recruitment process and got selected for IBM ISL. Now I am being told by the HR that they are unable to release offer as there is a hiring freeze.

Can any one please tell me if its correct or just an excuse not to give me offer. If its true, when will this freeze be removed?
