Job interview tips

If you want to be an impressive candidate, you need to prepare yourself better than others.You might find it useful to think of your interview as a performance.As with any performance, practice makes perfect. There are some points which you need to keep in your mind when you go for interview:
  • First impressions are very important: Everyone knows this that your first appearance is very important.Interviewers are put off by weak handshakes, a lack of eye contact, poor body language, poor posture and a grim demeanor.
  • What do you know about this company?: This is the first question which you will in your interview. Find the complete detail of the company.So research everything you can about that organization.
  • Be prepared to convince the employer that you're perfect for them:You need to convince the employer that you are not just another job seeker by pinpointing the gems in your experience and creating a clear match between your goals and employers goals.Employers wants to know that Why should they hire you?
  • Know why you are applying for this post?:Why are you driven towards this position? How do your values match the values you will need to do your job? Why are you passionate about this job? This is a very basic question so you need to find out the best answer for this. If you will convince them that you are fit for this job more than others then that will be more effective.
  • What are your strengths and weaknesses: Tell me only those strength those you can prove. What are you weaknesses nobody like this question.If you will say that you “work too hard” then no body will take the answer seriously, but if you say a real weakness then you look like a bad candidate. So what do you need to do? I will say that you need to pick a technical skill that is real, but mostly unrelated to your job.
  • Why did you leave your last job? No need to criticize your previous organization that will be a bad impression just show that this job is more fit with your current job
Try to keep these points in your mind.All the best.
