Here in this posting I will suggest and discuss some interview tips which when applied gives you instant result. These tips are been concluded from various successful people around the globe and some of them are my own experiences. For reading convenience I am breaking the whole posting into two.
What is Interview all about…?
First of all we will understand the meaning and the need of the interview. Interview is a way and a process to know ones Personality and Attitude.
In other words Interview is to know more about ones Personality and Attitude than the Knowledge. Knowledge of a person can not be tested and measured in few minutes or in few question. But Personality and Attitude can be tested in few minutes and in few Questions.
What is Personality…?
A brief definition would be that personality is made up the characteristic patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that make a person unique. In addition to this, personality arises from within the individual and remains fairly consistent throughout life.
It is the Personality of a person which makes him/her unique and attractive.
What is Attitude…?
Attitude is the way a person thinks about somebody or something and the way she behaves toward someone. It is her personal view or opinion of something. It also describes her general emotional approach to any person or situation.
Attitude is how you think and whether you lean toward the optimistic or pessimistic.
And what is positive mental attitude?
It is defined as a constructive response to stress and the ability to deal effectively with unavoidable problems.
Tips for Interview
1. Go through the notes and the theory, try to remember the brief definitions and the logic of the theory
2. Take a bath and wear nice clothing, not too casual, preferably formals decent one.
3. Don’t fear with the interview, think in this manner that you are going there for a discussion or meeting with someone. The interviewer is not a GOD and nor he is a DEVIL; he is also a normal human being as you are. So don’t get scare of him.
4. During interview remember to be Polite and Calm.
5. Concentrate on what you are speaking and they way you are speaking.
6. Concentrate on what you are answering and you have been asked.
7. Never try to fool the interviewer, if you don’t know the answer of a question, say honestly “Sorry Sir, I don’t know the answer of this”, but in very polite way and with little smile on your face.
8. Try to keep smile on your face throughout the interview, it will be very beneficial for you, and will surely give you plus point.
9. Always justify your answers with example wherever necessary, this will reduce the frequency and number of questions which interviewer has planned to ask you and will definitely adds plus point in the result.
10. Always remember first 3 questions are very important for building up your image and showing your caliber and the personality, so please prepare yourself to answer those 3 in your own way.
11. The one thing which interviewer looks in you is your adaptable nature and your attitude and if you are experienced then off course including these two he sees whether you are capable enough to meet the project requirements.
12. If interviewer asks you “Do, you have any question to ask”, then never keep quite; ask something about the company or about the job requirement.
13. If suppose interviewer says that you are not selected for the post then never go keep quite ask him in which field you are lagging behind, some good interviewers will give the instant feedback of you.
14. Always remember the feedback or the moments about the previous interview, where you think you have to improve. Make notes of that.
15. Work on your notes, after each interview. If suppose there are certain topics which have been asked by the interviewer, and you were unable to give answer of that topic then while coming home try to read about those topic from the book or on the Internet as well as try to read and understand the whole chapter from which it has been asked.
16. Always keep yourself updated with new technologies and languages.
17. If interviewer is asking a practical approach of some topic with which you are not aware off, then say frankly (“Sorry Sir, I have never implemented this thing in any of my project, but I do have theoretical knowledge of it.”), but this thing you will be able to say only when you are aware of topic theory, that is why I am saying keep yourself updated.
18. Never say bad words to, or never argue with interviewer if you failed in the interview.
19. If you think that you are forgetting some topics as soon as you are in interview, then please while reading the topic try to write it once. This will increase you memory.
20. For Developers and Programmers or any other IT related fields, please try to implement the program or query of any topic once. This will increase your knowledge and enhance your memory also. Because only while implementation you will be able to understand, how things are actually working, and when and how the error will come in between.
Remember one thing it is true “everybody has his day” or “if it is in fate then I will get it” about the job, but only when you are capable enough to prove it.
Because no one, not even GOD, can help you if you are not helping yourself.
GOD can give you the opportunity but it is your wish whether you grab it or not.
So one should be honest with him/her and with his/her parents in his each and every activity.
God Bless you all ….
I wish and I hope that this post will encourage you all, please do send me your reviews good or bad.
Thanks.
