Things to keep in mind in a job interview
There is a saying, "He who studies reads that he rides a carriage,"
Some see "interview" as a test, some as a game. I am in the 2nd team. Think of any good cricket match, how much preparation there is from the beginning of the game to the last ball of the game. A cricketer has to practice hard to play well in a match. Mental and physical strength is required. At the same time, the issue of clothing is also important.
Let's get to the basics. When your call on the phone, e-mail or letter is an oral exam for the desired job, there is a feeling in the chest at the beginning, isn't there? On the one hand, the dreams are weaving in the mind, on the other hand, it feels a little nervous.
What are the important issues?
01. Your dress and grooming
If you are a woman, try to wear formal clothes. Wear a sari, or a three-piece, focus on matching, and don't wear anything too glamorous. Make-up must be taken, but not party make-up. Wear jewelry and it is definitely kind of elegant. Men must wear formal shirts and pants. Can wear tie or suit. Suit-tie is just as important if the job is sales or marketing; Not so much in engineering. Make sure that whatever the color of the dress, it suits you. The same outfit makes someone look great, someone awkward. So keep an impression of taste in choosing clothes. Don't wear clothes that you haven't worn before. This can cause various discomforts later.
02. Preparation:
As I said at the beginning, the interview is a test. So its pre-preparation is definitely needed. Try to anticipate what questions you may be asking. Create a questionnaire in consultation with the experts and assimilate the answers. I never did this on my own, but I saw a close friend of mine and my wife, they practiced a lot at home because they lacked confidence and their performance on the day of the test was great. So be it play, or experiment; It requires a mental and physical preparation.
03. Starting question:
Can you please describe yourself in brief? - Most interviews start with this question. So practice presenting yourself briefly in 5-6 sentences to present yourself. Make 5-6 sentences about yourself with some key information like your university achievement, previous job experience and any special achievement there, special reason for your interest in this job, your biggest quality. Whatever you say, say it with a smile, look the questioner in the eye. Show confidence from the first word.
04. Your background:
If the job is consistent with what you have studied, then of course a number of theoretical questions will be asked. If you are a fresh graduate, do some study on internship or research (what you have to do in the last year). Your thesis can be discussed, so read it once. If you are employed, be sure to ask a lot of questions about what you are doing in your current job and how it relates to the desired job. If so, you want a completely different kind of job. Here are some examples of your multidimensional talents. Try to prove that you can learn any job quickly.
05. Your interest:
The question that must be asked is, why do you think you are qualified for this job? Create answers by analyzing in advance how your experience, qualifications and interests relate to this job and in what ways you will do better here than any other candidate. If necessary, practice memorizing the answers at home. To find out how much you are interested in this job you can ask the employer a question, how much do you know about this organization / this type of job? To know the answer, you can visit the website of the organization and find out their product and business type in advance. Find out who their partners are, who their customers are, etc. in detail.
If you are a little smarter, you can find someone from that organization who can give you an idea of what you need to do to get the job. If you can prove in the interview that you know the job well before you get the job, then you will be far ahead of other competitors.
In a 10-20 minute interview it is quite difficult to understand who is actually the most qualified. So the questioner will want to tease you with questions (if you like). If the interview ends in a very short time, then understand that they do not want to waste time behind you
(Results negative). The strategy I would suggest is to focus the questioner's attention on where you are best. Suppose the questioner wants to verify how good you are at sales. But you have no experience in sales or marketing. In that case, you can give examples of your eloquence; For example, everyone in the circle of friends considers you a guru on any subject, or you win any debate, because you can defeat the opponent by argument.
06. Whatever you do
Say “May I come in” before entering the room without hurrying, say hello and don’t sit until you are asked to sit down. If there is a foreigner, never speak Bengali. If you are asked multiple questions at once, politely say that you want to answer them one by one. Do not answer English questions in Bengali. Let me tell you a story - in a recent interview I was a questioner and asked each of the 6 candidates if he knew MS Excel on the computer. Everyone answered yes. By asking a formula of two, I understood who knows how much. To test one's self-confidence, I passed my laptop to him and asked him to make a small calculation. He is unprepared. The work was one minute. He tried for 3 minutes. I understood what I meant. So, don't talk about any qualifications that you don't have. Don't waste too much time on questions that you don't know the answer to. Do not put nails, fingers or pens in your mouth to remember the answer to the question; Do not scratch your head, do not look at anyone with small eyes. Laugh and say, “Sorry” or “I’m afraid, Can’t give you the right answer at this moment.” Salary can be bargaining. This always means that the salary you are working for now should be much higher than your desired salary. Because, you are not getting salary according to your qualifications. The employer will always want to prove that you are paying more than you deserve. So do not be confused or convinced by his words. (Before going to the interview, try to find out what kind of salary those who work in or near this position get.) At the end of the interview, the questioner often says "OK, we will let you know". Don't sit and listen to this. Stand up and say, “OK, Thanks for calling me” or “Ok, I will keep waiting.” You can say goodbye with a salute or “Thanks. It was nice to be with you. ”
Sometimes the interview is done in a few steps and always keep in mind that the next step is a little bigger than the previous step. And the question is getting harder and harder. You will be tested through Case Study, Analysis, Presentation, Exercise etc. You have to cross one level after another using all your talent and patience in a cold head. Getting a good job is never easy. So you have to work hard to achieve it, always remember that.
