Tips for Interview day

1. Brainstorm yourself and identify your strengths and weakness. Try to work out on weakness because most of the time the interviewer focus on weakness rather than strength. Overwhelm your strength at interview to shadow your weakness.

2. Before attending any interview knowing the requirements of the job is most important. Relate yourself to the job and identify how you are going to help the organization and yourself with the job. Recruiter’s focus will be on how interesting you are towards the role and your skill set for the position.

3. Knowing the company before the interview is the basic ground work any interviewee should do: like its products, services, competitors, history, size, location management.

4. Prepare for the common questions which are asked in interview.

5. After the interview don’t forget to clarify the questions revolving in your mind. This is the time to inquire about the nature of the work, the working conditions, working hours, training programs given to employees, chances for career growth and advancement, and any other points that may have not been covered yet. Questions pertaining to salary or benefits are never discussed at an interview unless the interviewer introduces them. You may ask these questions after the job is offered to you, and before you accept.

6. Personal appearance is most critical in the interview room and the easiest one to practice. Try to groom yourself professionally.

7. Know the interview venue beforehand. Find out the exact time and place for your appointment and program yourself to allow for emergencies, such as a traffic jam. If you are unfamiliar with the location where the interview will take place, you should check it out beforehand
