.NET Interview Questions 4 th Edition By Shivprasad ... - A2Z Dotnet

• Number of team members.
• Time span of the project.
• Tools, language, RDBMS and technology used to complete the project.
• Brief summary of the project.
Senior people who have huge experience will tend to increase there CV with putting in summary
for all project. Best for them is to just put description of the first three projects in descending
manner and rest they can say verbally during interview. I have seen CV above 15 pages… I doubt
who can read it.
• Finally comes your education and personal details.
• Trying for onsite, do not forget to mention your passport number.
• Some guys tend to make there CV large and huge. I think an optimal size should be
not more than 4 to 5 pages.
• Do not mention your salary in CV. You can talk about it during interview with HR or the
interviewer.
• When you are writing your summary for project make it effective by using verbs like
managed a team of 5 members, architected the project from start to finish etc. It brings
huge weight,
• This is essential very essential take 4 to 5 Xerox copies of your resume you will need it
now and then.
• Just in case take at least 2 passport photos with you. You can escape it but many times
you will need it.
• Carry all your current office documents specially your salary slips and joining letter.
Salary Negotiation
Ok that’s what we all do it for MONEY… not everyone but still money means a lot. This is
probably the weakest area for techno savvy guys. They are not good negotiators. I have seen so
many guys at the first instance they will smile and say “NEGOTIABLE SIR”.
So here are some points:-
• Do a study of what is the salary trend? For instance have some kind of baseline. For
example what is the salary trend on number of year of experience? Discuss this with your
friends out.
• Do not mention your expected salary on the resume?
• Let the employer first make the salary offer. Try to delay the salary discussion till the
end.
• If they say what you expect? Come with a figure with a little higher end and say
negotiable. Remember never say negotiable on something which you have aimed, HR
guys will always bring it down. So negotiate on AIMED SALARY + some thing extra.
• The normal trend is that they look at your current salary and add a little it so that they can
pull you in. Do your home work my salary is this much and I expect this much so
whatever it is now I will not come below this.
