Tips For Freshers.

Planning for the Interview:

 

Face the panel, but don't fall of the chair in a headlong rush-and-skid attempt to tell your story. Take one step at a time. If you place your foot on slippery ground, you could be ejecting out on a free fall.

So prepare, fortify your thoughts, re-jig your memory, and script and design your story (without frills and falsity). Without the right preparation and storyboard, you could be a loser at the interview. Here are a few preparation tips that books on interviews sometimes overlook.

 

Questions you should be prepared for:

 

•   What do you know about our company?
  

•   Why do you want to join our company?
  

•   What are your strengths and weaknesses?
  

•   Where do you see yourself in the next five years?
  

•   How have you improved the nature of your job in the past years of your working?
  

•   Why should we hire you?
  

•   What contributions to profits have you made in your present or former  company?
  

•   Why are you looking for a change?

  

Group Discussion:

 
A GD is a methodology used by an organization to gauge whether the candidate has certain personality traits and/or skills that it desires in its members. In this methodology, the group of candidates is given a topic or a situation, given a few minutes to think about the same, and then asked to discuss it among themselves for 15-20 minutes.

 
Some of the personality traits the GD is trying to gauge may include;

•   Ability to work in a team.

•   Communication skills.

•   Reasoning ability.

•   Leadership skills.

•   Initiative.

•   Assertiveness.

•   Flexibility.

•   Creativity.

•   Ability to think on ones feet.
