About

Interview Mantra helps you perform better at Job Interviews.

In short, Interview Mantra is a blog where I write about tips related to job interviews and commonly asked interview questions.

If you are new to this blog, there is a lot to explore. You will find plethora of articles covering the theme “Job Search”.  You can also find technical interview questions covering C language and Java.

Brief History: Interview Mantra was started in 2005 as a personal Journal of the editor. (It was a Blogger blog back then. Later became a self hosted wordpress blog.) In July 2008, it got a name and a purpose – to help people do their best at job interviews.

Present: Interview Mantra has become a buzz word now. I have met a lot of students who told me that they heard of Interview Mantra from their friends. I get emails from people telling me that they got placed at Multi National companies with the inspiration that they drew from this blog. That is the ultimate reward that I expect — Being able to guide people to get better jobs.

Future: I am looking at ways of designing quizzes for each interview article to reinforce the understanding and learning of our readers. I got a lot of positive feedback on C Interview Questions Ebook. In future, I wish to release high quality ebooks for Java Interview questions. What keeps me going is the encouragement from readers. I hope I’d be able to serve you guys better in future.

I wrote a couple of articles in my blog called Interview Mantra — India. I’m kind of confused what to do with that blog. Suggestions are welcome in form of comments.

Most of the interview material posted in this blog is written by our Contributors. Our contributors are students from various educational institutions in India. I am very thankful to them for their valuable contributions. Please feel free to contact us if you wish to contribute to Interview Mantra.
