Tips of an Interview

There isn’t anyone who doesn’t like to get into the job either in the private or public organizations. But what is the most essential step for getting into a job in an interview in this highly competitive world. I feel interview is more of a marketing strategy rather than just question answer round.  When a sales guy approaches a prospect one tries to put all his punch in a first meeting to convert the prospect into a client. Same way I feel that the job seeker should think like marketing guy when one appears for the interview. One must know the art of selling oneself to the company. A candidate must know how to sell his ideas and skills.

But most of the time, candidate appears for the interview without proper preparation which results in bad impression along with the rejection of his candidature and meets with failures in getting a job.

Interview is not something you should be afraid of, instead it’s a fun if you know how to tackle it. Few points you should keep in mind before appearing for the interview are:

1.      Know about Job profile and responsibilities,

2.      Must have sound knowledge about the particular company and its services,

3.      Relax, smile and be polite,

4.      Listen carefully to the questions asked and Answer questions as directly as possible,

5.      Make Positive statements,

6.      Show examples if that fits the job and question,

7.      Ask yourself, why you are better than others for the job you are appearing for,

8.      Provide accurate information on your qualifications and interests,

9.      Interview the interviewer (Ask Questions but be polite)

10.  Thank the interviewer before you leave the room,

11.  Dress up not less and not more too,

12.  Carry a pen and a notebook,

13.  Report to the interview venue at least 10-15 minutes ahead,

14.  Discuss among the friends on the relevant topics likely to be asked in the interview,

Hope these tips will help to those of the families and friends to get into the job in the near future. Likewise there may be many more so please don’t hesitate to add more tips if you feel it’s appropriate when you leave the comment.
