As we all know things are changing everywhere around and nothing remains constant then why do people (a.k.a. Candidates) think that the interview is also still the same old story, still the screwing session where the Interviewers screws the interviewee... My boy things are just making a head-way towards a different direction. The "NEW" interview is now not about answering the same old: Tell Me about yourself, and your hobbies, blah, blah, blah... things are changing and so is the interviewer!! So just let me tell you some interesting facts which the interviewers are demanding in most of the interviews this season.
Control the interview:
Man it’s not only you who's watching Raghu and Rajeev Ram scarring contestants away on the prime time show Roadies, the interviewers is also fond of watching such shows. So please be aware of the fact that even he/she might start screwing you like the "Twin Nightmares". It has been commonly found that students prepare themselves for FAQs in an interview, and they have been seen to have panicked when the first question was not the traditional "Tell me about yourself?" Don't let an interview turn into a rote question and answer session about your greatest accomplishments and your biggest weaknesses. Try to take your interview to newer heights by telling something which you might generally be afraid of telling in an interview. Do present your weaknesses and failures, and in a way such that it comes up as your Strength.
Like at the Maha-CET interview which I had appeared in Mumbai, my co-interviewee was a college drop-out but had cleared the written round with a whooping percentile. When raised the question, the guy immediately got over the panelist by saying that he preferred a work-experience rather than a degree in our so-called FLAWLESS EDUCATION system. The guy brought out all the flaws that he had felt while in college, this impressed the panelists to such an extent that he was awarded 15 out of 17 in his interview!
So the fact is that just don’t think it would be wrong to take a stand, do it if you are perfectly prepared with all the facts.
History classes a Big No No:
Please don't start blabbering about your past performance and achievements. I mean giving basic information about your past is required but don’t just convert the interview into a tea social or something like that. Just try and focus on your future. Let the panel have a clear idea of what you intend to do. But be cautious, don’t again jus start with high unrealistic plans and don’t dream of being a Ambani or Tata (even if you do dream, don’t let the panel get any idea of this), ‘cause even Ambani wasn’t aware of his journey.
Please don’t keep on exaggerating your past achievements that’s all I can say.
This is all for today, will get you some more on the same topic. Now please let me sleep
