First interview of life

one thing you must consider if you can do the job or you can't. Some companies are not prefering degree. One tip for you: Cover letter must short as much as possible.

Well first of all , Best luck to you for your interviews. See you should be confident whenever you are answering any question asked by technical persons. And make sure if you don't know anything say straingt, don't try to fool the person, because he knows in and out, and that's why he is at that position taking interview. Also you should present yourself in a way, that may be you don't know about any particular thing, but you are keen to learn and you can learn in short span of time. As far as HR interviews goes, they have already in their mind what needs to be offered, or they have their budget with them, where they can do a little bit of adjustment but not much. So you should be open for negotation on salary part. I am personally taking the interviews and I look for the above points while taking interview. And today I have most of the fresh members in my team who has great learning ability and shown good progress till date. This is my personal experience. Hope it helps.
