We all have faced interviews many times and for entry or mid level interviewers spend ten to fifteen minutes with a candidate. Can a candidate potential and skills be judged in this short time? I personally have attended many interviews and have conducted many interviews also.
I would like to share my experiences as a candidate. At the beginning we are not so comfortable with the interviewer. There may be many reasons as the environment is hostile and the interviewers are aliens to us. Generally we take time get familiar with the people and environment. We have a feeling that interviewers know everything and we may not know all. Sometimes we got scared because of failure; what will happen if we don’t get selected. Success rate is higher when we are continuing in a job as there is nothing to lose more.
Then how to click interviews is one of the most searched items in Google. Few things that have helped me and all are proper grooming with professional attire, as first impression lasts long. Be positive and confident but sometime over confidence can cost us heavily. Honesty is the biggest asset a candidate has and is appreciated by employers so try to be honest. Looking in the eyes of the interviewers will work. Communication to be short and precise means candidate’s reply should be to the point. Communication is very vital and we need to have excellent communication skills in English. Feedback from interviewers will help us in next interview so don’t miss out asking for the feedback. Nothing is impossible if we try.
I would request our seniors to add their valuable views to make it more effective. Correct me if I am wrong and would be more than happy to learn.
