A Pleasant Interview Experience
3 Things I Liked About My Interview with Solunus
1. The Interview Began on a Very Positive Note
A representative from the HR department took the first round of the interview; he greeted me, and then, asked me a few questions about my education and professional experience. Thereafter, he told me that the head of the company’s marketing department would connect with me in a couple of days. He was very professional and courteous, and I got an impression that he perfectly understood the hiring need.
2. A Very Good Understanding of The Candidate’s Abilities
Another thing that impressed me was the interviewer’s excellent understanding of my abilities. He asked me very pertinent questions about my professional achievements and plans for the future. I’m sure he has taken time to comprehensively research my profile on LinkedIn to assess my suitability for the job. It shows the methodical approach they follow to evaluate potential employees.
3. The Interview Was Conducted on Dot
The head of marketing connected with me at the designated time, two days later. He started the interview saying it would take about 30 minutes and if I was okay with it. He then proceeded with the interview and completed it exactly after a half hour. I was pleasantly surprised by this, as many interviewers I interacted with earlier showed scant respect for my time. I could immediately figure out I was interacting with a person who is thoroughly professional.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Mainly deals with understanding your approach and backing it up by sharing experiences from the past.
Gets little technical and lot of emphasis on how we present the overall plan.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Solunus (Hyderābād) in Jan 2021
Interview
At 50, with more than 27 years of work experience and coming back to full-time work after a sabbatical of close to 10 years as a company founder, I was skeptical whether Solunus will hire me.
However, as a club-level Tennis player for more than two decades, I have always believed that age is just a number, and my communication skills will prevail during the interview process.
I have heard the term “Equal Employment Opportunity” many times and companies boasting themselves as EEO providers.
To my dismay, the HR and my reporting manager didn’t utter a word about my age and just checked as to how competent I was vis-à-vis the role and its contribution.
I am happy to share the KRAs defined in the job description are a perfect match to my work experience, and I am keen on adding value to the company from the vast knowledge that I have gained over the years.
