PREPARING FOR JOB INTERVIEW?
Job
interviewing ne'er looks to get any easier -
even after you have gone on more interviews than you
can count. You’re perpetually meeting new people, having to
sell yourself and your skills, and
infrequently obtaining the third degree about what you
know or do not know. And, you have got to stay upbeat
and enthusiastic throughout every interview.
An
invitation for an interview shows that, on
paper, you're the correct person needed by the
organization for the vacant position. In fact, it's estimated that 80th of
candidates are rejected at the
application stage so you're very more
than 3quarters of the way towards obtaining the job!
An interview plays an important role
in recruitment process. It’s a technique with which the employers get to know
their potential employees. Based on their interaction they select the right
candidate for the job opportunity.

Types of interview
All the employers have an own interview
process. There are several different types of interview:
Telephone/ Video - Some employers use an initial
telephone/video interview to eliminate unsuitable candidates. Successful
applicants are usually then invited to a face-to-face interview or further
rounds. Telephone/video interviews usually last for around 30 minutes.
Face-to-face - The most common type of
interview, face-to-face encounters can take place with either one interviewer
or, more commonly, a panel. Face-to-face interviews usually last for between
one and two hours.
Face-to-face interaction with your
employer is your only chance to make a lasting impression and get you hired for
your first job.
In few firms are conduct some tasks
like written test, JAM, GD’s.
First of all, I categorized the tips
into three steps.,
1. Before Interview
2. At the time of
Interview
3. After Interview.
Let us see.,
First one.,
Before Interview
In
before interview, we must follow these bellow steps,
Be prepared
Research the firm or organization for
which you are being interviewed and find out about the position for which you
are applying. Use the internet, friends or relatives or contact the
organization to get information about them and the position. Be prepared to
talk about the organization and why you want to work there.
You’re Resume
A resume is the main intangible tool
to get a job. Prepare your resume according to the job profile the company is
offering and highlighting your strength required for the job.
Remember one thing, that the points
you are mentioning in it should be the ones, you are really intended to. This
should not be bombastic and not be false just to impress the interviewer.
Find out the type of
interview you will be going on
There are several common types of
interviews such as one on one, group, and behavioral. You shouldn’t assume you
will get a certain one. Don’t be afraid to ask your recruiter what kind of
interview will have if you don’t know – the interview will be more beneficial
to both parties if you are prepared.
Dress for
the job.
Wear the most formal attire that you
would likely need to wear in that position. Show the employer how you could
represent their organization.
Your dressing sense is the mirror of
your personality. It defines the society you belong to. Dress like you are a
part of them. Always wear a formal suit. Black trouser and a white shirt would
be the best combination. Avoid wearing colorful shirts and trousers. Look like
a professional.
Arrive Early
In today’s rushing world, no one can
waste their precious time for waiting for someone. So arrive five-minute early.
So that you can relax there. It will also depict your punctuality.
Second
One
At the time of
Interview
Body language
Give a firm handshake to your
interviewer(s) before and after the session. Once you're seated, sit naturally
without slouching in your chair or leaning on the desk. Throughout the
interview, remember to smile frequently and retain eye contact.
Be aware of your
skills, abilities and experiences.
Be able to talk about how you could
contribute to the organization. Show that you believe you can do the job by
referring to your skills, abilities and experience.
Clarity
Answer all questions clearly and
concisely, evidencing your most relevant skills, experiences and achievements.
It's perfectly acceptable to pause before answering a difficult question to
give yourself thinking time, or asking for clarification if, at first, you're
unsure what the question means. When answering, don't speak too quickly.
Show Enthusiasm
Give an answer with such a great feel
so that interviewer can feel your enthusiasm for the job in your voice only.
It's important that you allow your
personality to shine throughout, as well as ask thought-provoking questions at
appropriate moments. Both of these strategies will demonstrate that you're
genuinely interested in the role and listening closely to the interviewer.
And finally.,
Third one.,
After Interview
Follow up.
Extending the conversation shows that
you’re passionate about the job. Don’t call every day asking if you got the
job, but a simple thank you note can speak volumes about your commitment
to the position.
And if you didn’t get the job? Let
them know if you’re still interested, and ask what you can do to be a more
attractive candidate in the future
Whether
or not you are successful in securing the role, look at is as a good
opportunity to engage people, grow your network and get better for next time
round. If you're not successful then ask for feedback, although many organizations
are coy in case feedback is used against them.
"Remember, you ne'er get a second chance to create a first impression, thus you’ll want to try and do your best on preparing for your interview in advance."
