10 Tips to Crack Job Interview

Sleepless Nights, Loss of Appetite, Anxiety etc….Don’t take me wrong as I am not discussing about some disease but these are the few symptoms of Job Interview Fear or Phobia. Nothing to worry about the same, these are very common and during research it was observed that approx 80% of candidates suffer from Interview Fear / Phobia…At the same time those who overcome the fear of interview, have very high probability of being successful…There are some tips and tricks which can help u in getting your dream job…Lets find out how to overcome fear of interview & some useful Tips to Crack Job Interview.

1. Overcome the Fear of Rejection / Losing: Firstly lets understand why we fear the interview, answer is very simple..its not fear of interview but fear of rejection so it is very important to overcome the fear of rejection…How can we overcome the fear of rejection?

It is very easy to handle this fear, by simply changing your attitude and approach towards interview…Self confidence is very important in regard…I am going to share success mantra“Always appear in Interview with attitude as in you don’t need this job” YES, you read it right…Always appear in interview with this attitude…This approach will boost your Self Confidence. As per some psychological researches, if we need some thing in life then we chase it..When we chase, we fear loosing it even before getting it..1st focus should be to achieve that particular objective, once u achieve then only fear of losing comes into picture…So appear in interview with Full Confidence and with an Attitude that you don’t need this job…It will help you to overcome the fear of rejection or losing the job. No company will hire fearful person so overcome your fear if want the Job.

2.  Understand Job Requirement: It is very important to understand what is job profile and whether u fit in this profile or not…Always ask for Job Description before appearing for interview…Identify your strengths & be clear on what kind of candidate organization is looking for..It will help you to decide your approach during course of interview.

3. What all you are bringing it to the table? Always think that if u need this particular job then at the same time, organization is also looking for good candidate…During interview always focus on what all skill sets you will bring to organization & how it will benefit the organization in long benefit…Job is also doing a business, in our daily life if we buy any product or hire any service..we always look how this product or service will benefit us similarly you are also doing business with organization and try to showcase how organization is going to benefit if they offer this job to u.

4. Probable Questions & Answers: Once you are clear on Job Requirement, make a list of probable questions and their answers i.e. what all an interviewer can ask you..If need arises take help of your friends who are in similar position or industry…Trust me if u do this exercise seriously, you will be able to find out atleast 80% of questions which can be asked during the interview.

5 Never Fudge or fabricate your CV: Its a biggest and most common mistake by most of candidates..My sincere advice never ever fudge your CV…Organizations are smart & they will find out very easily that you have fabricated your CV. It can create problem for u in future and can even spoil your career, so always be honest in your approach.

6. Never Argue with Interviewer: It is advisable not to enter into any kind of  argument with Interviewer during interview..Lets accept that the person who is taking the interview has more experience, just listen & don’t argue to justify your point..I am not saying don’t put across your point but put it in a positive manner & don’t argue to justify that your are correct.

7. Be Honest & Flexible: Always be honest during interview..If u don’t know any answer just accept the same rather trying to give wrong answers…Besides knowledge, organizations give lot of importance to people who are honest in approach and also flexible in their approach…Never be rigid in your approach as business environment is changing very fast these days…Organizations always give importance to ppl with flexible approach rather rigid in nature.

8. Ask for feedback at the end of Interview: Before the interview closes, ask for feedback from interviewer irrespective how your interview went..It gives very positive impression about candidate…Organization feel that candidate has positive attitude & is willing to accept feedback

9. Salary Negotiations: Never ever ask for unrealistic salary hikes as it gives impression that you are not serious about the job and just changing the job for money….Kindly do your homework before salary negotiation i.e. with your experience and for the particular job profile what is industry benchmark…For junior and middle management, normal salary hike is in the range of 25% to 40%…Also in some of critical job profiles like treasury in banking you might get very high salary hike.

10. Never ditch the organization after accepting the Job: Again very common mistake and some ppl have habit of keep trying in various organizations for better package after receiving job offer & if they get another job, they simply say NO before joining..Trust me it can spoil your career in long run and you will never be able to reach top management with this attitude…World is very small and in this networked age you can’t hide these kind of actions…In future you will again come across same people & then no one will hire, if they find that you indulged in these tactics..If u don’t wish to join then pls don’t accept offer letter but after accepting if u say NO then it is totally unethical and unprofessional.

I have tried to cover all critical points but if i missed any, you are most welcome to add by commenting below..Also you can share you views/opinions on this article through comment section.

EXAM TIPS

EXAM TIPS

Love them or hate them, it’s hard to get away from exams.  Preparation before the exam day is a race against the clock as you sit at the desk and try to mug up all the important fact and figures.

One can never fell free from the examination and it’s process. So beneath are the examination tips and techniques that can be adopted before ,while and after the exam. This will lead to a better performance and help any student score more than expected marks.

Before your exams

1. Don’t Panic
Before exam nervousness is naturl and obvious. But one should not start panicking because later on while in the exam it leads to confusions and one is unable to think properly and answer the given questions correctly.
2. BE positive
“Believe in yourself” is the most important thing one student should learn from the beginning. A good level of preparation for the exam is required. If one is prepared and quite confident- then it’s pretty sure one would definitely achieve the success. If you believe you can do it, then you can.
3. Plan your strategies
Timetables and study plans is the next step involved. Make sure you know about the exam date sheet according to the course you are doing. Also , make sure to plan out a good strategy for how will you study before the exam. A sufficient time for revision should also be planned out so one don’t have to cram at the last minute. A proper timetable or schedule should be maintained. A regular reality check for your progress should be done. If you fall behind on your plan or timetable, work out how to get back on track. Study topic wise and in a proper format.
4. Study approach
Some people prefer to study in silence, some like to work in the library and others prefer to work at home. Few like to make short notes, others prefer to mix topics/subjects. Students have also found that using key words, memory aids and practicing exam questions helps them prepare. So, Pick the approach that best suits you.
5. Don’t waste time
One should not waste time on what’s already clear in your mind and can be revised quickly and easily during the revision time before exams. Rather, one should focus and implement his time on the concepts or topics which are unclear and unsure.
6. Don’t mix up things
The best thing to do while being stressed or feeling anxious before exam is to go and have a word with your friends , parents or teachers. This would really help you to feel relaxed and you can continue to study without any stressful mind.
7.Check out previous years question paper

It’s really necessary to know how one should write in his/her exam , how to manage time during exam i.e. how to calculate that one answer will require this much time and the other will require that much of time. Also, all the important details about the pattern of the examination paper should be gathered before hand. One should check for the previous years question papers, marking schemes and plan out his time management and word limit according to that.

8. Ask for help
If you don’t understand something ask your friends, parents/guardians or your teacher for help. Take action to find out answers to problems.
9. Eat healthy, stay fit
Junk food can make you feel inactive,heavy and might effect your memorizing capacity. You need to your mind active by eating healthily and regularly. Drink sufficient amount of water daily for it will avoid headaches, poor concentration.

During the Exam

1.Stay relaxed.
Take several long, slow, deep breaths if you are feeling nervous. This way you will more energetic, positive , calm and stress free. Positive thinking is a must.

2. Staying in control.

If you start panicking because you can’t remember what to write. At that very moment, stop panicking , control your mind, clam down yourself. Put your pen down and take deep breath. Stop any kind of negative thoughts entering your mind.Try to recall it. Once, you are able to recall start writing your answer. But this should not consume all of your time. Time management is still very important. Move on to next question that you are sure about.

3. Read instructions and questions carefully.

On every question paper a “VERY IMPORTANT NOTE ” is given – read each question carefully and listen to instructions given by the invigilators. This is mandatory because reading questions perfectly helps you think about the correct question ans you can write down your answers in a more perfect way.

After the Exam

1.Take a break.
Breathe a sigh of relief. Give yourself a break.  Even after exam ,few students stress themselves and think about more points they could have made.
2. Stay positive.
After exam stress is also very common in students. To rectify this mess in your mind talk to your teachers ,friends, parents/guardians.Take their valuable advice and learn from them. Stop wasting time criticizing yourself. Focus on what you did right and learn from your mistakes. Don’t dwell on questions you think you didn’t do well . Also , don’t compare your performance with others- this might give you “Good-for-nothing” kind of feeling which is not required.
