Tips to prepare for Job Interview

Its the season of recruitment with exam results coming out .The next phase in selection process would be Interview .We received many requests from our readers asking for tips on how to prepare effectively for a Job Interview.The Interview is one of the important part in recruitment,since its where the employer tests your personality,communication & problem solving skills.

1. Research about the organization.Logon to their website & read about their history,products,achievements,management etc.,You are sure to impress the HR if you know about their company and their working.

2. Start early. Reach the Interview spot in advance.Avoid rushing in the last minute,since it can create unwanted tension

3. Dress Sensibly. Most organizations have a formal dress code,so stick with it.Light colored plain or checked shirts with dark pants for gents & Saree or Shirt/Pant for ladies would be a perfect costume.Keep it simple yet professional

4. Be Calm. Look relaxed and stay cool while inside the interview hall.Nervousness can make you stumble and decreases your confidence level.Sit comfortably in an erect position.

5. Greet the Interviewer. Most candidates forget to greet the person interviewing him/her while entering,in excitement.Be polite in thanking when offered a seat to sit.

6. Use proper words. No need to show off your English knowledge by using unheard or difficult to understand words.Try using simple words and always answer questions looking into the other person`s eyes.

7. Salary details. Don't start a discussion on salary until asked for.It leaves a bad impression in the person`s mind about you.The Interviewer will definitely ask your preference,so wait till then.

8. Say Thankyou. Never forget to say thank you to the panel.Often,candidates are in a hurry to get out.Once the interview is over,thank the person,standup patiently,walk towards the door to leave.All these are noted too in an interview.

These are the basic behaviors looked for in a candidate attending an interview for a job.Hope these tips are useful as tips for writing good resume
