In the other half of the workshop, she discussed the best practices, and the do’s and don’ts in an interview that can make or break the chances of getting selected. She furthermore pointed out the need for preparation in an online interview which included having a quiet place, dressing formally, and having a high-speed internet connection.

Before concluding the session, she instructed the students not to discuss and negotiate the remuneration during an interview. The workshop ended with Prof. Shukla answering questions raised by the audience after which the students thanked her for her time and guidance. As the college aims to broaden the scope of placement for students, workshops such as these become a need of the hour to equip interviewees with the right tools.
