All About Jobs

As you know that interview is the first interaction between you and the recruiter. You must know that the direct interaction is always more important than the virtual interaction. That is why you should make sure that you give your interview in best possible way. I would now like to list some of the mistakes which you make in the interview.

They are as follows:

1. You should not underestimate the recruitment consultant
Many think that meeting the recruitment consultant is not a part of interview. They are terribly wrong. It’s really a very important part of the interview and only those names among all candidates are sent to the employers who are shortlisted by the recruitment consultants.

2. Presentation is very important
Almost all the recruiters feel that you should attend the interview as if you are already employed. I don’t mean that you should be over confident. What I really meant is that you should be properly dressed. Most of the recruiters feel that slippers and t-shirts should be avoided. I have heard that Glitter on the cheeks and chest is not appropriate.

3. You should Target your skills
You should not say that “I can do anything”. All the recruiters admires the can do attitude but you are required to target your skills first. Recruiters really want the applicants to revise their skills and preferred working environment which helps them in providing the applicants the best opportunities.

4. Prepare a good Resumes
Many applicants are found to not give proper emphasis on their resumes. Make sue that the matter is well presented and are correct. For example you should mention the correct contact details.

5. Always be honest with your answers
Never lie or exaggerate your skills or qualifications. You will be only the sufferer if you do so.

6. Be fully prepared
You should do proper research before you appear for the interview. You should know in advance about the job for which you are applying. You should be able to explain your suitability for the post.

7. Reach on time
Many job seekers don’t give importance to the time and are often late to reach the interview venue. They might also not able to give appropriate time to mentally prepare for the interview. This is a very bad habit and gives only one aspect about you that you are unreliable. Hence avoid this habit.

8. Telephone manners
Recruiters at first interview you on the telephone. It is an experience that many jobseekers are not able to express themselves on the phone. This is really your drawback if you are not able to express yourself. Be mentally prepared for telephonic interview.

These are some of the mistakes made by the job seekers and I do feel that you should really avoid them.
