Cognizant Hi, I'm having interview in soprasteria for dot net developer. I'm having 5.9 yrs experience. Anybody know what will be the interview process, how many rounds & will it be difficult or medium? I'm currently working in cognizant with 6.2 as CTC. Pls don't ask about my CCTC as I'm not in right frame of mind. I was cheated here and desparate to move. Currently holding tcs offer of 9.7. So, how much can I ask here if selected for my tech & experience. Tata consultancy sevices Infosys Wipro IBM

Ok be honest, candidates. I really love this set of questions, I’ve been considering shifting my current interview style to these questions - I think they really give you an idea of who this person would be within the work setting. But the questions almost feel too deep for a recruiter to ask. What would you think if a recruiter took a different path and asked these questions instead of the usual ones?

Good question! I suppose it comes down to how well you know someone. If they're an old friend, a little conversation before getting into the business question seems like the polite way to proceed. If it's someone you don't know well, it seems like the opposite would apply. Spending a lot of their time on small talk seems kind of rude when it will become obvious that you're calling about a job. But in either case I guess it's best to play it by ear, if they seem like they're pretty busy cut it short, if they seem to want to talk, gab away.
Ideally nobody ever wants to have to do this. It can be awkward and it requires vulnerability.
If someone approaches you, give them a little grace. It's rough out there.
If you approach someone and they display zero empathy, well now you know.
Hmmm it depends on the situation. I genuinely try to get to know people and network. I just feel like if the conversation doesn't develop naturally then I might cut right to the chase but I try to kind of chit chat.
