Interview process for internal role?
Tata Consultancy Infosys Cognizant Wipro I have completed all the technical and HR rounds and salary discussion, documents submission also done. But all of sudden got mail from hr saying that my profile is kept on hold. Any possibility that I will receive offer letter or it will be in hold forever? Meantime can I attend interview for other positions in hcl?

Interview process for internal role?
Say nothing and breathe loudly
Mentor
This has always worked well for me.
1. Fake a receptionist voice to answer.
2. “Good morning, Office of [name]. How might I help you?”
3. Insert a pause like you’re checking their name against a list,
4. “Great. His [time] just ended early. He said to put you right through.”
5. Make electronic clicking noises.
6. Using all of your charisma “[RECRUITER NAME]!!! How the hell are you?”
Hi, this is [my name]. Unless you know the recruiter’s phone number beforehand, you should not come off to make any assumptions
Coach
Go all in with alpha male energy and say, "When can I start?"
“Hi [recruiter], [name] speaking — how are you?”
“Hi [recruiter name]” I think is actually more polite. I also prefer the transparency it implies and that you’re not “playing any games”
Don’t overthink it. Be kind and professional, that’s all.
You’re overthinking this. Relax and be yourself
