Cracking an interview requires a combination of technical knowledge, communication skills, confidence, and preparation. Here’s a structured approach to help you succeed:


1. Understand the Job Role

Identify key skills and responsibilities required.

Research the company’s culture, mission, and values.


2. Strengthen Your Technical Skills

Work on projects that demonstrate your skills.

Practice coding problems on platforms like LeetCode, HackerRank (if applicable).

Learn about real-world applications of your skills.
