Some do’s and don’t when you
are going for your interview
Do you remember your first day
in college? Your first motorcycle?
You’re first Mercedes? And most
importantly your first Job
interview?
Hey, we always remember the
thing which we do for first time.
And most importantly we also
remember the effort, pain;
planning etc we do for that first
thing. There is always a first time
for everything and so with the
job interviews.
In our life our first job is as
important as our first job
interview. We always learn every
right from womb to the tomb. In
India, every year more than 30
lakhs people pass out from their
colleges, with a goal to enter in a
good job, good professional life
and this is the time when a
student enters into the world of
reality.
It’s very important for one to
prepare for their first job
interview as we do when first
time we go on a date. So the big
question arises, how you will do
that? (I am talking about job
interview)
Being in HR vertical I have
personally interviewed many
people right from a fresher to
people who were having more
experience than my total age.
From my experience I have learnt
what as a recruiter I like and
here are some of the five most
important things that you should
do when you are going for your
first job interview.
1. Collect information about the
company and job where you are
going.:-
2. Be on time for the interview: -
3. Dress properly:-
4. Body Language: -
5. This is your last job interview:-
or
This is not your last job interview
1. Collect information about the
company and job where you
are going.:-
Before going for any interview,
the first thing that you should do
is to know about the company
where you are going. Make sure
you know following things about
the company:-
a)Company name and the name
of important management
people.
b)In which business / industry
the company is and who are
main players in that industry.
c)About the job you are going to
do (If you get the job description
before interview).
d)Basic Knowledge about the
industry in which company falls.
e)Major clients of the company.
(If you can find it)
The above list is not the final one
there are many more thing
which you can find about a
company. This information will
increase your confidence, create
an impression about you that
you really want this job and
associated with the company.
Source of Information:
a)Internet (search engines).
b)Company’s official website.
c)Your friends who may be
working in that company.
d)The Placement agency who
may have lined up for interview
in that company.
2. Be on time for the interview:
-
Punctuality is must at the time
when you are going for an
interview, unless and until there
are some major problem. Always
plan and keep spare time with
you to reach the destination on
time. But keep on thing in mind,
even reaching one hour or two
before interview timing is also
not good. This makes you more
nervous and most of the time
you start feeling bore, so when
you actually enter in interview
cabin you feel exhausted and
sleepy. And you tell me who
needs a sleepy horse for the race.
3. Dress properly:-
Clothes are very important
because its increase the
confidence level of a person and
make him / her comfortable.
Always look good and be
confident because the person on
the chair in front of you always
creates a first impression about
you from your dress, dressing
style, body language.
Do’s” For males: Shirt and trouser
are the preffered one in India.
For Female: Shirt and trouser or
salwaar kameej.
Don’t: Don’t wear jeans, t- shirts
or revealing clothes. Don’t put
strong perfume on your cloths.
Don’t have too much accessories
on your body.
4. Body Language: -
Your interview starts from the
moment you enter in the cabin
as interviewer starts analyzing
you body language. Before
entering the interviewer cabin
always take permission from the
interviewer to come in. Maintain
a proper eye contact (please
don’t stare) and listen carefully
what he is saying and show your
interest in that. The best why you
can show your interest is lean
little bit forward, hand
movements, if you don’t
understand any point ask it (but
don’t ask every time to repeat the
sentence). Always be calm do not
speak like a jet plane, take your
time and think before giving any
answer (but don’t ask for the
time to think. You have to run
your brain like a jet plane).
Don’t keep your hands on table
and cross your legs.
5. This is your last job
interview:-
Keep in mind you have to get this
job, there is no other option for
you, so at any cost you have to
get this job. This feeling and
attitude will help you in giving
your 150% in the interview and
you will be more confident will
do everything; give right answer
for cracking the interview.
This is not your last job
interview
Whenever you are going for an
interview always make a
statement in your mind that this
is not your last job of your life
this feeling give you the
confidence to express yourself
completely in front of the
interviewer. It removes
nervousness and help you in
presenting what you are. Learn
to fail because that gives you the
confidence for the next time.
NOTE: I have given two options
above; as I fell everyone is having
different behavior and thought.
It’s on you to decide which
option you want to select.
The above mentioned points are
just some of the few things that
you should do before going for
an interview. There are many
other things which one can do…
but if you follow the above
mentioned requirements it will
considerably improve your
selection chances.
So, I am sure you will crack your
job interview.
