How to appear and clear any Interview Answer by HBFITES
Thursday 18th, September 2008

In the earlier articles, we had discussed that an interview is like an art and like any other art form it consists of a series of steps, which are:- How to write a high impact covering letter? How to write a well framed and effective resume? How to prepare well for an Interview? Today we will look as to how to clear an interview. Remember HBFITES is one on the best network solutions provider in the world and the best CISCO CCVP coaching center in India, so use the information compiled by our experts, it may be very useful.


Finally there, in the cabin with the interviewer: - For many, the

interview is the    single most stressful part of the job search

process, you become nervous and your mind starts playing

games with you reminding you of a past setback or failure,

agonizing your thought process and putting you in a negative

frame of mind. So put your mind on the right track, be motivated,

have a positive attitude and do not mull over something you did

not have control on, forget it man, and move ahead. During the

interview, most employers want to know more about person

since the resume only gives certain information such as the

persons name, age, address, contact number,  educational

details, past and current employment, so forth and so on. The

employer will likely ask about the experiences, lessons and

accomplishments one has done and learned working for another

employer. This will usually include how the person handled a

situation in the company, the challenges of the job and the

relationship with coworkers. The employer will usually ask why

the person applied in the company and where you would like to

be in 5 to 10 years. Long term questions such as this will show

if there is dedication for the job at hand and if the company can

provide something beneficial for both the applicant and the

      employer.

As you near the end of the interview, make sure that all bases are

covered. Now is not the time to discuss or even ask about the salary

and the benefits that you will receive once employed. There is ample

time for that once you do get the position and you are discussing the

job offer. Wrap things up by summarizing your strengths and

pointing out your positive traits. Finally, as you end the interview,

make sure to thank the interviewer again for his or her time, thus

leaving a lasting impression.


Follow up on the meeting by sending that all-important thank you

note after the interview. Thank the interviewer for the time that he

took with you and for giving you that opportunity. Make sure that you

know whom to contact for follow-up of the results.

 

The above is a compilation of short notes and synopsis of the entire

game of applying, preparing, appearing and finally clearing an

interview. For a detailed guide mail to aloksharma@hbfnetworks.com

You are awesome. We have been closely following your blogs and MAN! You write swell. We have forwarded your blog Blame the Gods……………………..to all out network and sub. base, which is 300,000+ across the globe and growing daily and the response was massive.

We are sure with the kind of talent and language caliber you’ve you can really create huge ripples in this niche as almost all our network members have been eagerly waiting for your next salvo. You can also become a member of our voluntary group and help save the planet, moreover whatever you write for us goes to millions and generate huge hits to whatever you are trying to promote. Think it over and keep up the good work.

Hi Alok, many graduates are lack of Interview Skills and they reluctant to equip themselves before the Interviews. We have to change their mindset.. I am just thinking how i can address the mass by telling them how toattend the Interview. rightly said that attending the Interviews are an art... no doubts about that.. very useful blog... and keep blogging !!
