Having interviews is not an easy like we click the finger. Many of us being nervous and worried during the interview session. But, never mind. All those things can be solve and overcome when we put all our strength and be confident of what will be questions to us. We will be judged by the way we dress, the way we behave at the interview, the way we communicate our ideas, our educational qualification, work experience, our ability to absorb the information and interpret it intelligently and clearly. Therefore, take care to be at our best.
The first impression is the best impression.
1) Carry all your relevant documents – like academic certificates, references and testimonials, copy of application form, updated resume – in a clear folder so that these can be easily shown and seen when asked.
2) Never be late for an interview. Always be present at the interview venue at least 20 minutes before the interview. This could help you to compose yourself and feel relaxed before the interview.
3) Greet the interview panel as soon as you enter the meeting room. Take your seat only when you are asked to do so. Don’t pull or drag the chair. Lift it or move it gently and always enter from the right side of the chair.
4) Always be polite and say ‘please’ and ‘thank you` whenever required.
5) Listen attentively to the questions asked. If you feel a question is unclear, ask politely for clarification. Don’t beat about the bush, but get directly to the point. Discuss only the relevant facts needed to respond to the question. Be truthful and try not to open yourself to areas of questioning that could pose difficulties for you. In this regard, we recommend that you do take some time to think through your answers/responses to some common interview questions. Taking that time to formulate your answers and solidify your thoughts will give you more poise and security during the actual interview.
6) While answering questions, look directly at the person asking the questions and try to be pleasant. Reply confidently and immediately to the point. Keep your answers brief unless asked for a longer description or explanation. It is better to admit if you don’t know something.
7) Don’t forget to say `Thank you` at the end of an interview to the panel of interviewers before leaving the room.
8) Walk out with confidence and without looking back.
9) Close the door gently behind you as you leave. Don’t bang the door!
