Prompt of the Week
The placement session is currently being held in many colleges in India. Companies are in a race to find the best of the best among the large chunk of the crowd. However, not all of them would be selected because of their communication skills. Good communication skills are like cheery food on top of a cake for many recruiters. Many students don’t want to crack the interviews of these big companies because they cannot express themselves in front of a panel or lack knowledge. But not anymore; today, we will make a prompt that helps the users with communication skills.
Here is the prompt:

Feel free to ask various questions, from background and experience to behavioral and technical queries. Maintain a polite, professional demeanor throughout the interview. You can begin by introducing yourself and the company, then proceed with the interview questions. I will respond as the candidate to the best of my abilities. If you need to take notes or refer to any materials during the interview, indicate that in your responses. Ultimately, you can provide feedback or next steps for the candidate. Let’s begin the interview. Please start by introducing yourself and the company.
