ROUND 3: HR Interview

There were multiple interview panels, with each panel consisting of 2-3 interviewers.
As I entered, they asked me to sit and read my resume thoroughly, giving me some time to feel comfortable.

The following questions were asked from me:

• Introduce yourself.
• Have you done DSA? (I answered, “Yes.”)
• Can you explain what classes and objects are? (I was informed that technical questions are not typically asked in Deloitte interviews, so I was not mentally prepared for such questions. Although I knew the answer, I stammered due to a lack of practice. They asked me to calm down and were polite and considerate throughout.)
• What does the “ord” function do in Python? (Since my programming language was Python, they asked some questions related to it.)
• What types of inheritance are supported in Python?
• What are “Try and Except” used for?
• What are inner join, left join, right join, and outer join? (I had mentioned SQL on my resume)
• Write a query to join two tables in SQL.
• Tell us about your MP3 music player project. (I described its functionality and the languages and libraries used in its development.)
• Describe your duties as a social media manager, as mentioned in your experience section.
• You have listed “problem-solving” as one of your soft skills. Can you share a real-life instance where you solved a problem?
• (As I am an AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner, they asked me some questions related to it, but I didn’t know the answers.)
• Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Although only one interview was initially scheduled, there were a few candidates about whom the interviewers were uncertain, so a second interview was conducted for those candidates. I was one of them.

In the next interview there was only one interviewer and the following questions were asked of me:

• Tell me something about yourself that is not in your resume. (I said I enjoy listening to music.)
• What types of songs do you like? Can you name a few?
• What are your hobbies aside from those mentioned in your resume?
• Here’s a guesstimate question for you: Suppose the population of Delhi is 50,000. How many 4-wheelers do you think could be there in Delhi? (I attempted to calculate based on assumptions, and they provided me with pen and paper for the task. Later, they asked me to explain my approach and discussed it with me.)

Tips:

• Confidence and communication are key.
• It’s okay if you don’t know the answer to some questions. Simply acknowledge it and move on to the next question.
• The questions asked during the interview are based entirely on what is written in your resume. Therefore, before attending the interview, read your resume thoroughly and be prepared for any type of question. The questions are not necessarily difficult; they are designed to assess your confidence and communication skills.
• The interviewers are very humble and considerate, so there’s no need to panic.

The results were announced after an hour and I was selected.
