6 KILLER JOB INTERVIEW TIPS FOR FRESHERS

 Following is an approximate narration of my HR interview with Infosys.

1. Tell me about yourself?

2. Did you prepare for the interview? What did you prepare? (Question will be asked from What you prepared)?

3. Which courses have you enjoyed the most? The least? Why?

4. What are your short term goals?

5. why would you like to join our company?

6. What do you know about our company?

ANS: The WORST thing you can say is “Not much.” or “Nothing.”

RESEARCH the company first, whether you are applying at a Fortune 500 Company. Do a search online. Look at their website. Find out who they are, what they do and why you’d want to work there. The WORST thing you can do is showing up at an interview knowing nothing about the company! Once you know about the company you can answer this question more easily

(EXAMPLE: “I’ve read about how this company’s growth is on the rise and also how involved it is in the local community.”)

The Best Resume Tips 2013

THE BEST RESUME TIPS 2013

When Creating your Resume in the Second Decade of the Twenty-First Century, particularly for the Years of 2013 and 2014, the First Thing to remember that the recruiter usually spend a Maximum of 10-15 Seconds to read it. Therefore, it is Strongly Recommended to Choose a Template for Your Resume which is Simple, Short and to the Point!

The Reader or Employer wants to know about your Transferable skills, Relevant Experiences, Qualifications, Key Achievements and if there’s anything special about you that sets you apart from other Applicants. Everything else they will Ask you During Interview.

RESUME FORMAT:

A Resume sell your skills and capabilities to a prospective employer, so it must be a professional document reflecting your overall personality and traits. Having said that, a good resume needs to be something special that hiring manager enjoy reading.

 Use Standard and Plain Fonts like Arial, Times New Roman, Calibri OR Verdana. Don’t get bogged down by prettily designing the resume through borders or images except you are a graphic designer and needs to showcase your talent.

OBJECTIVE / PROFILE SUMMARY:

There is a Controversy about writing an Objective Statement on a Resume. We strongly recommend that Entry Level and Less Experienced candidates should write a targeted objective at the very beginning of their Resume. Be enthusiastic when writing your objective. Tell the employer what skills would you bring and how would you contribute to the mission of organization.

Alternately, a Professional Profile is suitable for Highly Experienced Candidates. It can be Written in Paragraph or Bullet Form.

BE HONEST:

Be Completely Honest. If you haven’t held a job in Past Or You’re just Out of College, don’t try to write false information. If you do this, they’ll definitely find the truth at a later stage. Write truth they’ll Respect Your Honesty.

DO NOT COPY:

Originality is Extremely Important. If you copied your Resume from other source or internet, you can be identified through software and the chance of interview will be Diminished.

GRAMMAR CONCERNS:

Check your Resume thrice for Punctuation and Grammatical Mistakes! If your Resume contains these Errors, it will show that you are Terribly Careless, and Nobody is going to hire a Careless Person.

USE SIMPLE TEMPLATE:

A simple Template might like: Write your Objective, Achievements, Experience, Qualification and Skills. Don’t Forget to Add Full Contact Details, So You Don’t Annoy your Prospective Employer when s/He wants to Contact You.

CUSTOMIZE YOUR RESUME:

Don’t Send a Standard Resume to Everyone, instead write a Different and Tailored Resume for every Organization you Apply. Let the Organization know you’ve worked hard at Researching it and Modifying your Resume to it. This action will increase your Applications’s Credibility by 80%.

Why should I hire you?

This is an important Question for Every Campus interview – Practice a Good Answer Here!

By now you can see how critical it is to apply the overall strategy of uncovering the employer’s needs before you answer questions. If you know the employer’s greatest needs and desires, this question will give you a big leg up over other candidates because you will give him better reasons for hiring you than anyone else is likely to…reasons tied directly to his needs.

Whether your interviewer asks you this question explicitly or not, this is the most important question of your interview because he must answer this question favorably in is own mind before you will be hired. So help him out! Walk through each of the position’s requirements as you understand them, and follow each with a reason why you meet that requirement so well.

EXAMPLE: “As I understand your needs, you are first and foremost looking for someone who can manage the sales and marketing of your book publishing division. As you’ve said you need someone with a strong background in trade book sales. This is where I’ve spent almost all of my career, so I’ve chalked up 18 years of experience exactly in this area. I believe that I know the right contacts, methods, principles, and successful management techniques as well as any person can in our industry.”

“You also need someone who can expand your book distribution channels. In my prior post, my innovative promotional ideas doubled, then tripled, the number of outlets selling our books.

I’m confident I can do the same for you.”

“You need someone to give a new shot in the arm to your mail order sales, someone who knows how to sell in space and direct mail media. Here, too, I believe I have exactly the experience you need. In the last five years, I’ve increased our mail order book sales from $600,000 to $2,800,000, and now we’re the country’s second leading marketer of scientific and medical books by mail.” Etc., etc., etc.,

Every one of these selling “couplets” (his need matched by your qualifications) is a touchdown that runs up your score. IT is your best opportunity to outsell your competition.

What The Interviewers Look for in An Interview

The interview panel members assess the candidate by asking Him/Her a variety of questions and looking at the candidate’s responses for these questions . Whatever be the questions asked, they look for certain qualities and attributes in the candidate. Whenever the interviewers ask you a question, they will have an objective in mind . Before you response to the question, you should be aware as to what the question is basically about and what facet of your personality is being tested through that question.

The Main Qualities that the Interviewers Look for in the Candidates Are:

Level of Knowledge the Candidates Possesses

Conceptual Understanding of issues

Clarity of Thoughts

Communication Skill

Planning Of Career

BASIC PERSONALITY

Reacting to a Situation

TOP INTERVIEW QUESTIONS:

Tell Me About Yourself?

BAD ANSWER:

“I graduated four years ago from the University of ICFAI, with a Bachelor’s in Biology – but I decided that wasn’t the right path for me. So I switched gears and got my first job, working in sales for a startup. Then I went on to work in marketing for a law firm. After that, I took a few months off to travel. Finally, I came back and worked in marketing again. And now, here I am, looking for a more challenging marketing role.”
