hi frnd, d prob u have stated is not an uncommon one. i should tell u dis 1st: u know how d mkt situation is now. so many companies refused to come for campus.. still 1 big company was ready to come and that too with a very big package(atleast big for my coll). we were so hpy. b4 coming they asked for the students details n resumes. our placement centre officers had sent. but b4 coming to our campus, they shortlisted 4 candidates n only they were allowed for d 1st round.. we were shoked.. we dont even know d reason for wat we were rejected.... the 4 were of diff backgrounds(2 had exp 2 didnt, 1 from b.tech, 1 from bio tech, 2 from b.com UG backgrouns).. we didnt know the reason at all. but now i feel that i am lucky not to have been shortlisted for that company.. coz i am placed in a company with good pay n designation.. watever u loose is for gud only..
ask ur frnd to note this:
--> never never associate percentiles with jobs(many 5 pointers are gud at work than 8 pointers)
--> wen a company does not select u, its not that u dont have the potential. it means that ur qualifications n other skillsets of urs does not match with the profile.. its just that its not ur kind of job/company
--> try giving examples wherever possible (dat got me d job:wink:)
--> show them u r confident n not nervous
--> act like ur own self.. pls dont pose artificially..
--> if any of the interview panel members tease u(must be stress interview), have a smiling face(tease back if u can).. in my interview, one member was teasing me with my own words. i stood strongly by my words n i teasd him back n other members started laughing. i should say that i impressed them at that moment. coz after the results were announced the panel congradulated me privately.. so dont get tensed when u r tested for stress
--> tell them u dont know the ans when u dont know. plz dont blabber..
--> tell the word "sorry" wen u r sorry for something. its important to accept u r wrong wen u r!!
--> ask them for the answers and ask them thier explanations. show them that u r ready to learn from any1 n anytime.(wen i did my proj, i did the recruitment for a week in 1 company n they alloted marks for that attitude)
-->pls dont throw ur attitude b4 the panel. dont show ur superior attitude b4 the panel. not all will accept it.
this what i have learned from my exp.. hope dis will help..
