I applied for an internship position at IBM and received an interview call from the manager. Before that, I was asked to write an IPATO test, which is not technical at all but just judges your aptitude. Most students do well on the test; it appears hard, but I think the cutoff is very low.

The interview itself was telephonic and all behavioral. The manager was very mature and experienced. She asked me all about my resume and projects, my role in different projects, and how I fulfilled them. There were no technical questions at all.

So, make sure you are writing your resume very thoroughly. She was pretty impressed with me, and I even asked her for feedback, which was positive.

I am waiting to hear from them, and I guess IBM is a pretty good company to start a career with.

All the best to all of you who are applying.

Questions related to my projects. For example:

• What was my role in this project?
• What data structures I used.

How would you describe a leader? How do you handle conflicts?
