I am basically a Native Mobile application developer with adequate experience on Hybrid application development (HTML5, CSS and AngularJS). I posses 8+ years of experience. Have clearly stated this in my resume. How I prepared for the interview: Having gone through the entire company website, then I decided to apply for this opening. I was so excited that the company was though a manufacturing company, the have published a wide range of Android and iPhone applications for the Utility. Since its a manufacturing company, I have concentrated more on the Android Sensor framework which would be more useful for the manufacturers like Trelleborg. Did a small research on the Company's competitors also. Interview process: I was called for a face to face interview. We did not have time to introduce ourselves. Interviewer directly started with the questionare session. Only during the interview process I understood that they were looking for a junior programmer with only HTML5, CSS, JS, jQuery experience. The questions were very basic on jQuery, javascript, and I did not answer them though because of the skill set mismatch. It came to an end in just 10 minutes. I finally, I got a chance to ask him, "May I know your name?" Aftermath: HR came to me and said, "You have not cleared the interview". I replied, "Good! Thank you". Otherwise, I would have landed up working with freshers in HTML5 and javascript. I would recommend going through the entire Job description perfectly before you attend the interview. Otherwise you will end up answering something from your perspective while they must be expecting something different. If you are applying through the recruitment agency, enforce them to schedule a telephonic call first and understand the job description clearly from the technical panel. Advice for the HR: From the resume itself, the technical panel could have easily identified if the profile fits for SDE I or over qualified. Also, please do a screening via phone to understand what the resource's skill is. It would have saved a lots of time for your employee and for the one who comes with a lots of desire to attend the interview.
