How To Get Through The Personal Interview. How To Realize The Things That I Am Lacking In To Pass The Personal Interview

To crack a personal interview successfully, it is essential to understand what areas need improvement. Identifying the areas of weakness and working on them can greatly enhance your chances of passing the interview. Reflecting on the skills or qualities you lack and taking steps to develop them can make a significant difference in your performance during the interview process. By focusing on self-awareness and improvement, you can increase your confidence and readiness to tackle any questions that may arise. Good luck with your personal interview preparations!

Four Tips for Cracking Personal Interviews

Before going to the interview, try to gather some knowledge about the company. Use the company website for this purpose and read its mission and vision statement, the name of the head of the department, company head offices, and regional offices, etc.

Practice some interview questions like: What are your strengths and weaknesses? Why do you want to join us? Why should we hire you? It is better to practice in front of a mirror.

Always arrive on time. Be confident. Wear professional attire and be natural. Do not pose, do not lie.

Send a thank-you note after the interview.

Hope you will easily pass the interview.

Recently, I attended a campus recruitment. I was able to get through the Group Discussion (GD) where only 30 students were selected out of 150. In the personal interview round, which was the last round, I tried to do all the above things you suggested. He was an HR professional, and as he had a deep knowledge of HR terms, he went on asking some HR terms to check my knowledge in HR. However, I have been specializing in HR for the past 4 months, and it was the first time I heard those specific HR terms. Unfortunately, I could not answer his questions, and as a result, I was not selected in the Personal Interview (PI) round, while the rest of my friends from other specializations were selected.

Sir, it would be helpful for me if you could provide information regarding career opportunities in the NGO sector after an MBA in HR.

Hello Dear,

There are certain assumptions in the mind of the interviewee as well as the interviewer that lead to the success of the job interview, translating to you landing a job. There are certain qualities that are being expected out of candidates in general as well as with respect to a particular role. You need to be aware of those. This can be done by doing some research on the company culture, knowing the expectations from that particular role, and brushing up on your technical as well as soft skills for that interview.

More actually goes into the preparation part than most people would accept. But, the truth is, "Well prepared is half-won!" Hence, putting the top 3 sayings that would relate to this:

* Know thy enemy (or rather, the situation here)

* Prepare for the worst and expect the best (know what you need to prepare for and do it full swing)

* Practice makes perfect (you have to know your strengths and weaknesses)

Having said that, you can imagine this akin to walking. You may fall, but you never, ever stop walking for that sake. You get up, dust yourself, and keep taking those next steps which are the most crucial. To reiterate, do not stop when faced with adversity since this is not the last job and if you did not get it, then definitely the job suitable for you is still waiting elsewhere.

Moreover, if you are in Chennai or planning to visit around the 3rd week of November, I am conducting a workshop on this very same topic. You are welcome to register and attend.

Yes, sir, absolutely true. This is just the first step in my career, and I am still studying MBA. I will wait until the day I get a good job suitable for my passion towards HR. Thank you for your motivational words. I regret that I cannot attend the workshop as Chennai is far away from where I live.

Definitely! I understand that, and good luck towards your endeavor. Your showing interest in the whole thing and trying to make a difference is what will help you. Attitude is something to take you high up if held in the proper regard. Hence, my wishes that you do gain knowledge in the know-how and make it big.
