Killer Interview tips

How to make the interviewer ask the questions, which you want him to ask you?

Dear Reader,

Whenever you are about to give an interview you will always feel some goose bumps. First of all whenever you face an interview most likely the opening question would be – Tell me something about yourself OR Describe about yourself.  Normally we immediately start with our Name, educational qualifications, family, place and our experience.

Kindly notice that, all this information has already been provided, by you, to the interviewer, through your resume.

So, now what has to be answered about ourselves? Let’s take an example.

Example

INTERVIEWER : Tell me something about yourself?

CANDIDATE : I am a person with strong interpersonal skills and have the ability to get along with the people. I enjoy challenges and looking for creative solutions to problems.

OR

Besides the details given in my resume, I believe in character, values and action. I am quick in learning from mistakes. I am confident that the various tests that you have conducted will corroborate my competencies, aptitude and right attitude for the job.

What is the Best Way to answer this question?

The best technique to answer this question is to list your 3 positives and the demonstrator for each positive. Also tell them about your passion/qualities/hobbies/positives about “What you do outside work”. When you tell them about your passion then be passionate about it. You should know in and out of your activity. For e.g. if you love reading books then you should be able to tell about your last book read, favorite authors, best book, type of books you like etc.

So in short when you are asked about yourself you should tell like this

1)      Say who you are.

2)      Describe your Biggest strength for e.g. “leadership” or “team player”

3)      Explain what the benefit of that strength will be to the company.

4)      For Fresher’s -Tell the Interviewer what prompted you to pursue your present course and what all achievements you have accomplished till today.  

5)      Now in the second part you should be able to explain about your skills, hobbies, interests and passions. Lastly explain how your keen interest in these activities have made you a keen learner/team player/leader/sharp observer/creative/analytical/logical etc. Tell them what your key skills are and validate it by giving practical e.gs. A list of major key skills are as follows :

·         People Management Skills

·         Time Management Skills

·         Interpersonal communication Skills

·         Business communication skills

·         Verbal Communication Skills

·         Organizational Skills

·         Strategic Thinking

·         Creative Thinking

·         Effective Listening Skills

·         Decision making Skills

·         Problem solving Skills

·         Negotiating skills

·         Teamwork Skills

·         Coaching/Teaching Skills

·         Risk Taking Ability

·         Responsibility

·         Critical thinking

·         Multi tasking

·         Diplomacy Skills

·         Perseverance & motivation skills

·         Ability to work under pressure

and the list goes on…..

Pick your choice and explain it.

For Freshers

A classic answer for this question would be as follows:-

INTERVIEWER: Tell me something about yourself?

Candidate: “I'm a full-time student studying  in ___________. My subjects in(Course Name) gives me a strong foundation to begin my career with XYZ company, and I'm excited to learn from the industry leaders here." Apart from learning the subjects I am a voracious reader of books. I like to read books from which I can learn the lessons of life and implement them in my routine to improve my people management skills. Recently I have read a wonderful book named “How to win friends and Influence people “ by Dale Carnegie. I really liked the entire book but one topic took my attention and that was –“How to get genuinely interested in people”.

Now dear friends what do you think the next question would be?

ALL THE BEST!

DISCOVER THE MOST PASSIONATE THING ABOUT YOURSELF AND START DOING IT RIGHT NOW.

Do this and you don’t have to work throughout your life.

Most of the people with whom I have met are not satisfied with their current Profile/job/business. Why? Research have shown that every person has a particular skill set and he is more comfortable and delivers more when he gets to utilize his skills in the kind of work which he loves to do. It could be anything—music, writing, drawing, acting, teaching—it really doesn’t matter. All that matters is that once you know what you want to do just go for it.

1)      Identify your key skills , your strengths, your personality, your hobby, what you love to do the most and find ease and enjoy doing it. For eg if you love to cooking. You will always find a way or reasons to cook because you enjoy doing it. Invent new dishes maybe on  Learn everything about it in depth. You will learn the minute minute details of your passion. Yearn for it. Don’t waste your time doing something   if you are made for something else

2)      I have always been a big proponent of following your heart and doing exactly what you want to do. It sounds so simple, right? But there are people who spend years—decades, even—trying to find a true sense of purpose for themselves. My advice? Just find the thing you enjoy doing more than anything else, your one true passion, and do it for the rest of your life on nights and weekends when you’re exhausted and cranky and just want to go to bed

3)      Its never too late, and we have only one life to live. Here what I am saying is just take say 10-15% of your time towards your passion. Gradually increase it and finely plunge into it.  for example, that your passion is painting. Well, what are you waiting for? Get out there and buy a canvas and some painting supplies! Go sign up for art classes! And when you get so overwhelmed with your job and your personal life that you barely have enough time to see your girlfriend or boyfriend or husband or wife, let alone do anything else, go ahead and skip classes for a few weeks. Then let those paint brushes sit in your room untouched for six months because a major work project came up and you had a bunch of weddings to go to and your kid got sick and money is tighter than you thought it would be and you have to work overtime. And then finally pick those brushes back up again only to realize you’re so rusty that you begin to question whether this was all a giant waste of time, whether you even want to paint anymore, and whether this was just some sort of immature little fantasy you had as a kid and that maybe it’s finally time to grow the fuck up, let painting go, and join the real world because, let’s face it, not everyone gets to live out their dreams.

4)      Really, the biggest obstacle to overcome here—aside from every single obligation you have to your friends, family, job, and financial future—is you. And I’ll tell you this much: You don’t want to wake up in 10 years and think to yourself, “What if I had just gone after my dreams during those brief 30-minute lunch breaks when I was younger?” Because even if it doesn’t work out, don’t you owe it to yourself to look in the mirror and confidently say, “You know what, I gave it my best half-hearted shot”

AT LEAST GIVE A CHANCE TO YOURSELF WHAT YOU DESERVE

IN CASE OF FURTHER DISCUSSION YOU CAN SEND ME A MAIL AT yogeshparmar74@gmail.com
