I have been enjoying every post you have written. Well though I never lied in any of the interviews I appeared in, but I remember one particular interview I took. The candidate (then final year student) was working on wireless electricity as major project, and was almost succeeded (according to him) in generating it. I was LOLing inside my head, was thinking about poor tesla wasting so much time trying to do it while people in final year now a days generate it for their final year project. hahaha, that guy was hilarious.. and yes he was very confident too You are an amazing writer aditya.

Confidence..nothing else. if u r confident about the stuff on ur resume. the rest is smooth sailing. in my perspective an interview is a selling process. if u can convince the interviewer in the first 1 min of the interview the rest of the interview will be a cake walk. unless you dont screw it up.. and u will when u r not confident about what u r saying.. so if one is lying. one must lie convincingly in my opinion.. some people actually may take offence to the rakhi sawant thing :).. some good hobbies.. listening to music. travelling to new places.. meeting new people.. playing instruments. reading.. blogging.. long drives.. researching on bikes and sports cars... these actually lead to some other productive questions. instead of offering the interviewer a chance to screw u up totally. nd yeah buddies.. its important to have some hobbies.. if u dont have a hobby except watching TV.. Get a life losers no need for high fundoo words... Candor.. is what is important.. nd please man there is no right or wrong answer... so i may be wrong for some ppl.. hey aditya..

what is the most important thing a guy needs..

in my opinion.. some people actually may take offence to the rakhi sawant thing :) ..

some good hobbies.. listening to music. travelling to new places.. meeting new people.. playing instruments. reading.. blogging.. long drives.. researching on bikes and sports cars…

these actually lead to some other productive questions. instead of offering the interviewer a chance to screw u up totally.

nd yeah buddies.. its important to have some hobbies.. if u dont have a hobby except watching TV.. Get a life losers

no need for high fundoo words… Candor.. is what is important..

nd please man there is no right or wrong answer… so i may be wrong for some ppl..
