5 Smart Ways to Prepare for Your First Job Interview: From Personal Experience

1. Listing down the job posts & organizations once applied

Once you have decided to apply for certain posts, you must note it in a diary or notebook with date of application for future reference.  It helps in remembering the organization & posts applied for that makes a candidate aware about the image of the organization, duties to perform in the post.

2. Looking for the company info on the internet

Once there is an interview call received, the immediate next thing to do is to look into the internet to search for the information about –

  • The company
  • Their history
  • Mission & vision
  • Main products or services
  • Operational policies
  • Recent success & future projects
  • Managerial Skills that You will be Required as A Good Manager

3. Planning the timing to reach & fixing the dress to wear

Sometimes, we think less about these two issues –

  • How & when to reach
  • What to wear & how to look

But these two things are crucial. Sometimes, we get carried away with the thought that “I have an interview tomorrow, I need to know the probable questions & answers & I can’t fail” this thought influences so much that we forget that I also need to be very much aware about maintaining a professional look & reaching timely. The candidate must be careful about time to wake up on the day & making professional attire available & ready to use. It is imperative that one plans to reach the office before half an hour of time of the schedule.

4. Being prepared to receive an interview call with respect

 It has been observed that today, some students care less about the art of conversation while responding to phone call. This is a genuine reason to be disqualified in being shortlisted in an interview. One must pay sincere attention & respect while receiving a call when you don’t know if that call could be life changing for you. Maintaining sober tone & salutation in speaking to a stranger is a genuine quality. If a candidate has a good score in academic performance but the conversational skill is not pleasing, then chance is low to be winner at the interview.
