Introduction

Hi, I hope you are all fine. If you are a .Net professional and if you are looking for a change in job (especially in Infosys, IBM, DELL, Aversan) you may want to read: Interview Questions For 3 Year .NET Professionals.

I have described my interview experience there. Now I will share some other important series of questions that will definitely ask in any .Net interview. What employers currently look for in a candidate is logical understanding with basic knowledge. So understanding the basics is very important, even if you are an experienced candidate.

So let us start. I hope you will like this article. Please provide your valuable comments so that I can improve myself.

First of all you must be ready to introduce yourself. Please don’t use so many “mmmmm” and “And and and”. Be confident and don’t urge. Take your own time to describe yourself. Look straight. You can find more tips here: How to Prepare for a Job Interview.

Now we will concentrate on the technical questions.

Please note that these questions are asked in my interview experience, you may need to see more questions when you go for your interview.

Your turn. What do you think?

A blog isn’t a blog without comments, but do try to stay on topic. If you have a question unrelated to this post, you’re better off posting it on C# Corner, Code Project, Stack Overflow, Asp.Net Forum instead of commenting here. Tweet or email me a link to your question there and I’ll definitely try to help if I can.
