Interview advice

Going for this role at Cognizant? A few things that help freshers walk in prepared:

• Before you go in, list the top three things this job asks for and prepare one concrete example for each — then tie every answer back to them.
• Send a short thank-you message within a day that refers to something specific you discussed — most freshers skip this, and it is remembered.
• Spend 30 to 60 minutes beforehand on the company's site, recent news and LinkedIn, so you can name one specific reason you want to join when they ask.
• Re-read the job description and prepare two projects or coursework examples that map directly to what it asks for.
• Rehearse "tell me about yourself" out loud in about 60 seconds — education, one standout achievement, why this role — instead of reciting your CV top to bottom.
