Accenture Skill Interview (Application Support Engineer - Java EE) as a Fresher with No Java Background. Need Advice!

Hi everyone,

I recently cleared the Accenture assessment and got shortlisted for the Skill Interview for the Application Support Engineer (Java Enterprise Edition) role.

The problem is, I'm a fresher and my background is mainly in Python and Machine Learning. I have no prior experience with Java, Spring Boot, or Java EE, so I'm a bit nervous about the interview.

I wanted to ask:

  • What kind of technical questions are usually asked in this skill interview?
  • How deep do they go into Java EE if the role is for freshers (0–2 years)?
  • What topics should I prioritize if I have limited time to prepare?
  • Do they ask coding questions, or is it mostly conceptual and resume-based?
  • If they ask me to submit my resume before the interview, should I:
    • use my current ML/Python resume, or
    • create a Java-focused resume even though I don't have Java projects?

Any advice, interview experiences, or preparation tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
