Tips for Triumph in Personal Interview


The word ’interview’ itself gives each one of us jitters. But if prepared for it in the right manner, this dreaded encounter called ‘interview’ can be accomplished effectively. All you need to do is follow these simple tips given below.

1. Always remember to be positive and keep your calm during an interview even if things are not going as well as you had wished. Giving an interview is just like giving an examination in school where you are extremely uncertain what the outcome will be- whether you will pass or fail? Besides, who knows you might even outdo yourself in the interview and have an upper hand during candidate selection.

2. Mark an impact on the interviewer with at least one unique quality about you that will be in favor of the company if they hired you and also distinguishes you from the remaining candidates. Once they are done interviewing several candidates, they will definitely compare each one of the candidates with the other and choose the one who suit’s the competent position best.

3. While you are being interviewed, if all of a sudden you realize that the position offered doesn’t really interest you don’t just give up and leave. Complete your interview as if you were interested in the job. There is a possibility that even if you don’t do well, the interviewer may recommend your name to another department of their organization instead of the one you had initially come for.

4. Make it a point to not speak negatively about your prior or present employer. Don’t disclose any confidential information about your former or present organization that you shouldn’t. I’ve seen a number of people loosing out on jobs because of incessant criticizing of former or present employer. 5. Keep your eyes, ears and mind open while being interviewed. To answer well you need to pay attention to what the interviewer is saying. Listening is extremely important. Listen carefully to the questions you ask, to the answers for the question you ask as well as comments made by the interviewer.



In the BM English Course participants go through rounds of real-life kind of interview questions listed above and are thoroughly trained to present their thoughts such that they succeed in interviews.
