Hello! I would like to thank everyone in this thread for their advice and contribution to interview freshies like me.

I was really nervous for my first interview with a very established company but I kept all the advice given from this thread in my head and in the end i managed to get the job!

Simple advice from this thread like reading the company website and being polite and friendly to everyone you meet along the way, worked very effectively in my interview.

I did a group interview, and knowing about the company made me stand out among the others who didn't. Being friendly with everyone worked out too - at my last interview with the senior hiring manager, she joked "i'm forced to hire you because everyone else here loves you already" she didn't ask me any other question. Being friendly (imo) also naturally gets rid of your fears during the interview process.

I also sent a simple thank you email to my interviewer from the first interview (like the thread suggested). I'm very glad I did because it built a sort of friendly relationship between the two of us. She would call me if i sms'ed her a question to make sure I fully understood her answer, called me to remind me about my second interview, called me to make sure i didn't get lost on my way to the office, and called me to ask how my interview went so even though it isn't necessary, it's a very nice gesture

Thank you again everyone! Consider it karma level up xD I would also like to wish good luck to all the other people facing their interviews! Heed the advice given in this thread. Some of them might sound cheesy, but they work
