7 Commandments for Success in Campus Interviews: Campus Interview is what one looks forward to with enthusiasm, fear and excitement towards the beginning of the final year. For some it's a make or break, at least that's the way it's looked at and for some it's a matter of pride. The constant thought in one's mind is - what shall make this click! What is it that the interviewer is looking in me! Here's what the companies look for when they visit the campus for interviews. Following are the 7-Commandments for success in facing a Campus Interview.
Not everyone is good in each and every field. Each one of us has our fortes and weaknesses too. But that's not a stumbling block! What the industry looks for are people who know their area of specialization and are an expert in it. Therefore, it pays to be a master in some fields if not the jack of all. The most common mistakes many make is to profess knowing a field of which they know little about. Remember that huge and bulky resumes are as tough to read as they are to make. So, identify your skill set, and keep your resumes simple and straight. Know your limits and polish on your strengths. Many interviewers may ask the student the subjects that she/he wishes to be interviewed upon. Eureka!! Here's a golden opportunity. Answer this wisely! Never end up choosing a difficult subject that you know only little about, rather choose the one you are most confident of. The interview is not just limited to testing your knowledge base, but is also interested in knowing your ability to apply it. Often questions that need to be solved then and there are asked. Now keep in mind - the right answer is not the only thing being looked at. The focus area is also the way in which you attack the problem i.e. approach to problem solving is equally important. So, remember to put your thinking caps on! Murphy chooses to strike at the appropriate time! Inspite of the fact that you may know something very well, it might just slip your mind. After all, heavy preparation does takes its toll. Who better to ask for help than the poser of the question (of course, don't try this too often!)! Remember the interviewer is not there to grill the confidence out of you, but to bring forth the best in. Just in case you are stuck, ask for a hint. Things might just click. Also, stay alert for clues. You may like to begin your reply with: "Although I feel my biggest achievements are still ahead of me, I am proud of my involvement with……I made my contribution as part of that team and learnt a lot in the process". It will be a good idea to close your answer with also specifying what attributes and circumstances made you succeed. Calmness shows emotional maturity. True, being calm in a job interview is a difficult proposition, but then that is where it is required! Calmness does not imply being unenthusiastic or apathetic during the interview, but knowing that you are nervous and not letting it come in the way. A clear verbal communication implies clarity of the thought process. One should also watch out for the impressions made in non-verbal communication. Body language and facial expressions can assist you in establishing a good rapport with the interviewer. Pauses, silences and gestures may all indicate what you mean, understand, or would like to emphasize. The interview process is a two-way exchange of information. Make sure you also understand about the company, its activities, job requirements. The company is in need for good candidates and you need a good company to launch your career. Interview is an opportunity to present yourself and your skills to your best advantage. Make sure you make the most out of it. And YOU are the best one to do it!! Career moves are determined by several factors. Firstly there is an inherent need in each person to grow and seek lucrative offers. This also signifies the need to gain more recognition and improve self esteem. All job profiles require decorum and it is essential for a person to hone their skills continuously. This can be done by opportunity or also getting a new area to prove oneself. The customary time of probation is a time given by the employer to let the employee gain a formidable position in his profile. This is a time to prove and adjusts to the routine pre-set up. The need to prove makes an individual to look into areas where there is a scope to suggest improvement and also take on the area to improvise. This is beneficial to self and very much essential for the growth of an organization. And yet many times we find ourselves at crossroads in our career. They are been self seeking goals, values, hard work and waiting and yet we feel that the matter about career is confusing. Job hopping is another demerit or comes up from intense insecurity. With fluctuating job market, the skills present in an individual need to be further enhanced. At Amrapali Institute our counsellor is a person who has the psychological understanding of the environment you are functioning and the current job market. He or she gives you an impartial view point of the things that need to be worked out. This is important as the counsellor may evaluate your current positive findings and also suggests areas for improvement. Going to a counsellor is almost like a remedy to the current situation, though the individual has to work out a feasible solution. The counsellor hyphenates the doubts and solutions and the final result is a confident 'You'. It is important to maintain a diary or schedule your meeting with the career counsellor in such a way that there are no other matters in your mind while a session is going on. Ensure a pragmatic approach to display your concerns with a career counsellor.
