Tata Consultancy Hi fishies, I recently interviewed for a Big data dev role for Autodesk but it's via a third party called Applicantz. Initially the contract is for 1 year, which can be extended. There is also scope of Autodesk hiring permanently after 6 months or 1 year. Can anyone provide some reviews about Autodesk and third party Applicantz. Usually I would not have considered anything via a third party, but the company(Autodesk) seems great and work discussed seems good as well.

Or like a case study, given a senario and ask how you think in order to tackle problem? Need advice/idea/experience urgently. Thanks in advance.Amazon @BIE

I’m kind of an introvert myself. The thing that helped me at doing interviews is to continue to do interviews. The more you put your body and your head through these interviews the easier it gets and it’ll come to your more naturally, so you won’t over think and analyze every little thing.
Something that helped me get through a nervousness of an interview was to tell myself that if this interview doesn’t work out, there will be another one.
Good luck, we’ve all been in your shoes.
As a CD who has hired people my biggest advice would be to not make the interviewer do all the work. I like to hire people who are talented and whom we all enjoy being around. And yes, some of those people have been introverts. You don’t have to overtalk, but make sure you are relatable and the interviewer gets a sense of your personality. They are hiring you, not just your work.
If your work is good, connect with a recruiter and let them sell you, and when the interviews come to you... They already have background and can focus on your thinking on specific projects and work style.
I know many people criticize Amy Cuddy’s power pose advice, but tbh I do feel more confident after doing it...maybe it’s a placebo thing?

And by the way, Susan cane has a great ted talk as well...I got a lot out of it and I’m really more of an ambivert.
Agree with @editor1. Also, sit or lay down, breathe deeply, close your eyes, and visualize yourself and the people interviewing you having a great time, smiling, laughing and ultimately getting the job.
Might sound a bit new-agey, but the more I do this for any important event, the more calm and better I perform. Total game-changer.
Practice out loud, not just in your head. Either by yourself or with someone you trust. It really helps!
I'm a heavy introvert too and I've been through this. If you're going to think about it anyway, write it down. Check the questions/interactions you had the most trouble with and list some possible better responses. There's a pretty good chance the same things will come up in future interviews, but then you'll be able to more easily respond to them.
A little hack about body language: It's not always possible, but try to sit somewhere where you can see your reflection in a mirror or window if you can. Sometimes in the pressure of the moment you don't realise how stiff you are and being able to see it jolts you out of it.
Apply for a lot of jobs You don't want to practice interviewing.
i’m an introvert. apply to positions and use the interviews to better understand how to answer confidently. also youtube “how to answer interview questions” for generic questions. you should be able to answer the most basic question by memory.. “tell me about yourself” in 1minute
I’m in introvert.. with certain people .. there are just some people that I click right away with and I’m super open .. than some I just don’t know what to say to or get nervous near.
I’m an introvert too. What worked for me is just getting used to being around industry folk & not being intimidated. Maybe reach out to a CD you like and have coffee with them. This has helped me so much.
Cont’d: I know my work is pretty good or at least decent for my level, as I’ve gotten a lot of interviews and your work is typically what gets you in the door, but I struggle with body language and talking about my work in particular. I have the basics down, but I always find myself nervously rambling or getting off “script” and saying things the wrong way and then later on I’ll overthink it for hours. I also have pretty bad anxiety, which doesn’t help. When looking for a junior AD position, are there any things you’d suggest I do to conquer this? any questions I should ask? topics to avoid? ways to present myself better?
