Never do this kind of mistakes, your friend might have good Java skills & he has very good programming/coding skills, & his skills attracted an excellent job for him. Before you take any training think if you are really interested in that training. We have seen many people doing this II!

Know your strengths & weakness; decide which job will give you happiness in your life. Don’t do a job which will not suit your life style.

If you are using your mobile, charge it fully before the interview.
Ensure you are enthusiastic and use positive language.
