SKILLS FOR INTERVIEW
Though
the smartest and most qualified persons need to prepare for job interviews. We
all know our first impression is our best impression; there are no second
chances to say who we are in interview. We can easily improve our interview
skills using following strategies.
First we
have to clear our aptitude round.
By
viewing the old question papers of the interviewer we can pass on easily.
In HR
rounds we have to concentrate in the following things.
· Dressing
Here dressing part takes more
importance, because before we started interacting, their eyes start to notice
us. Be simple. Try to be in casuals. Show that you are too comfortable with
your dressing.
· Listening:
From
the very beginning of the interview, your interviewer is giving you
information, either directly or indirectly. Good communication skills include
listening and letting the person know you heard what was said. Try to observe
your interviewer, and match that style and walk.
· Interaction:
Try to have a friendly interaction.
Have smile in your face. Telling the interviewer more than he needs to know
could be a mortal mistake. When you have not prepared ahead of time, you may
ramble when answering interview questions, sometimes talking yourself right out
of the job. Mostly they interact related to our resume. So prepare your resume
well.
· Be simple:
The interview is a professional
meeting to talk business. This is not about making a new friend. It is
important to bring energy and enthusiasm to the interview and to ask questions,
but do not overstep your place as a candidate looking for a job.
· Language
skills:
We should use professional language
during the interview. Be confident and bold enough in your point. If language
is very difficult and you are clear in your point you can use the language
which you are comfort with. Be aware of any inappropriate slang words or
references to age, race, religion, politics or sexual orientation -- these
topics could send you out the door very quickly.
· Attitude:
About our attitudes we need to
concentrate on four things.
i) Sharpen your acting skills
ii) Beware of developing “commission
breath.”
iii) Be confident, not cocky.
iv) Lastly, don’t forget to smile.
· Ask Questions
If they asked do you have any
questions, most candidates answer, no. Wrong answer. Part of knowing how to
interview is being ready to ask questions that demonstrate an Interest in what
goes on in the company. Asking questions also gives you the opportunity to find
out if this is the right place for you. The best questions come from listening
to what you're asked during the interview and asking for additional
information.
Example:
Your questions may be,
1) Can you
please tell me my weakness which I could improve and for doing better what will
your suggestion to me?
2) Can you please tell
me if I am selected when I am join your company or if I am not selected which
thing I will improve.
All The Best for your Interview.
