I have applied through reference, it took Accenture 11 months to conduct the interview . They asked me to appear a skill interview through Hirevue. The interviewer was quite helpful, first she introduced herself (Adobe Web Analyst) and then ask me about my introduction. Then she started asking about my roles and responsibilities related to the projects which I mentioned in resume.The position was for Microsoft SQL Server Application Developer ,so she started with some some basic questions about SQL and databases , I have answered all the questions in very great detail , she has appreciated all the answers.Then she started asking about DBA related questions and other Database related questions which is not related to the job description and my working area . I told her about this but she kept asking me. Although I have answered some of them which I knew. After sometime I got an email that I didn't clear the skill interview .

First is the application stage, where you submit your CV or application form and the employer reviews your qualifications. Next is often an initial screening, which may be a short phone or video call. This is usually to confirm basic details, your experience, and your interest in the role. If you pass that, you move to a formal interview, which could be in person or online. This is where they ask more detailed questions about your skills, experience, and how you handle situations.
