Interview Tips

Been interviewing for the past 6 months for my company. Based on our experience, this is what management expects from a candidate:

1) Introduction: while doing a self introduction, we are not much concerned about the details that are already present in the resume. You have to establish your desire for the job.

2) Self-Evaluate: Understand your skill set thoroughly before you come for an interview, we really appreciate the answer "I don't know" when asked certain questions. We don't expect you to answer every question that we ask. we want you to be honest in interview.

3) Resume: This is the most important part, prepare your resume in a way that you have a clear idea of each and every word you have put in it. Most of you can be brought down to ground based on what you have entered in your resume. So don't copy paste resume, prepare one for your own using some standard templates.

4) Body Language: We want people who listens clearly and then answers. If interview panel is not clear, kindly ask them to repeat the question. we expect a listeners body language in Interviews. Come in a proper attire for interviews.

5) Communication: We think in our mother tongue and then we search for appropriate translation(English). This is not going to work. Dedicate time for improving your communication.

6) Salary Negotiations: If all the above points are followed religiously then you can quote your price and walk away with your dream salary.

All the Best !!!!!
