You never get a second chance to make a first impression. A resume is your entry into the job race. It is your chance to sing your own praises and make an employer sit up and take notice. So, it’s worth taking some time to perfect it.

Interview Tips

 

  •  Tell me about yourself

    		  


    The most often asked question in interviews. You need to have a short statement prepared in your mind. Be careful that it does not sound rehearsed. Limit it to work/Study-related items unless instructed otherwise. Talk about things you have done well at your college and how you wanted to perform in the first job.

     Why Should We Employ You

    		  
     

    For this question, your answer should list out strengths that you feel are relevant to the job. Given below are some answers which could help you with your answers. However, structure them to suit your requirements.

    I have good co-ordination skills
    Good analytical skills
    I can persuade people to see my point of view, and get the work done
    My greatest asset is my ability to motivate people
    Even during emergencies, I do not loose my cool
    I have good entrepreneurial skills
    I have consistently met my deadlines and targets
    Can say “no” to people when required to do so!
    I am very co-operative with my sub-ordinates, and would like to see them grow
    I am a good team player
    I am very flexible, and have the ability to work hard under difficult work conditions
    I have the experience and knowledge relevant to this job (Here, give appropriate details and examples)
     

     Do You Have Offers From Other Companies

    		  


  • This is of course a difficult question to answer. Obviously, you must have applied to other companies if you are looking for a job or would have some offers from other companies already. Therefore, do not lie that you have not. However, you are on thin ice here! The interviewer could be checking your honesty. On the other hand, he/she may also be trying to find out how focused you are - are you applying randomly, or is there a well-planned strategy?
    Whatever your answer, it should match your career goals.
     

 What Salary Are You Expecting

  


  • Try not to get into salary details early in the interview. If pressed, you could say that it all depends on the job, and would like to talk about it after a job offer. Say this in a convincing tone. In case you are asked this question in your latter interviews, give a direct answer. Do not sound apologetic while quoting the figure you have in mind.

    SALARY EXPECTATIONS :

    1. How much do you expect?

    If you have done your homework, you would know how much other people in similar jobs are paid. Quote the range upfront.

    2. How much do you think you are worth?

    Work out how much you should be paid, given the market value of the job and your skills. If you can bring some extra skills to the table, do not hesitate to ask for more than the market value.

    3. What kind of a culture are you comfortable with?


    It is better to be frank about your preferences. Your interviewer will get a clear idea about your expectations.


    4. Which is more important to you-salary, perks or growth opportunities?
    This one will reveal the real you. So be sure what you are going to say. Above all, be true to yourself. If you think this is a negotiation move, then say clearly that you will never sell yourself short.


    5. What do you know about our company?


    Do not give your opinions about the company. Stick to reported facts that you have gathered from newspapers and so on. Talk about the product portfolio, size, income, and market perceptions of the company. Also it is better to refer details about each company before going for the interview from Freshersworld.com or PlacementWeek.com


    6. Why should we choose you over someone else?


    Talk clearly about problems that you have solved in your College/Project Team and highlight the quality required.


    7. Your qualifications are excellent, but you may be overqualified for the position we have to offer?


    Point out that more experience can never be a drawback. If you are multi-skilled, then highlight the fact that a company on the fast-track needs multi-skilled people. It needs people within different departments to work together. Also emphasise that the company's future growth will be an exponential function of your experience.
