It all starts with a strong resume - One of the most common mistakes when it comes to placements is a long resume with unnecessary details. Keep your resume short (about 1-2 pages), focusing on key skills, activities, and certifications relevant to the job you're applying for.
Start With A mock Interview - Being nervous is natural during interviews and to cope with this, it is advised to start preparing yourself from the basics. One of the best methods is to do regular mock interviews. It will not only help you in building confidence but will also help to crack down interviews easily.
Do some research - Before the interview, try to do thorough research about the organization you’re applying for or the person you’re meeting. The recruiter will probably ask you about what you know about the organization or the job you are applying for.
Dress properly for the interview - When you first come into the hall of the interview and before you say any word, the first thing that will be noticed is your appearance. When you appear for a placement interview, you should dress properly to show you are serious about the job.
Control your Body Language - Recruiters are looking for not only those who have great knowledge in their field of expertise but also those who are able to present themselves impressively. Your body language can speak for your personality, so you should give attention during interviews.
Be flexible - The interviewer might challenge applicants with an idea. You should show that you are flexible and ready to accept another person’s opinion. This also proves you are good at teamwork.
Manage stress - This tip is important to consider before and during the interview. It’s completely natural to get stressed in such situations. Practice deep breathing as it helps reduce stress.
Study frequently asked questions - There is a number of frequently asked questions that recruiters use to detect the type of personality a person is. Studying those questions will help you avoid confusion during the interview.
Be prepared for the conclusion - When the interview is over, don’t turn your back and silently go out. This shows disrespect. Whether the interview went well or not, get up and thank the interviewer for his or her time and emphasize your enthusiasm about the result of the interview and about the possibility of you working for the organization.
