Personality and many other skills come out during group discussions and interview. Interviewing a candidate is also an art as one has to be polite yet probe for rational aspects. Many times going for an interview itself is a preparation stage and one comes out more knowledgeable. The cardinal rule is to be presentable and extremely polite in the conversation. Never take the age or behavior of the interviewer lightly because what is projected at the time of the session may be a planned one for your personality to efface.

Usually many post graduate management programs conduct mock group discussions and interviews. This is a learning ground and the mistakes you make here must be remembered in all future interactions. The first rule is preparing your self for the interview. Do a mild study about the company and its position in the industry. Find out plans for expansion, locations and plans overseas. Suit an area of interest and prepare a few questions about the same.

It is true that interview sessions are first impressions. The way you present yourself and conduct the interaction speaks a lot about your performance. Keep open ended questions in case you want to ask any. Being inquisitive is fine but frame your questions with subtlety. It is fine to ask, ‘Where is the vacancy likely? Or Whether the job will include training programs? This shows your interest levels and the interviewer may or may not give you an elaborate answer.

The usual question is, ‘Let us know something about yourself’. This is a trigger point as many new entrants rattle about their sports achievement in school and how they won the race at district level. The experience in earlier fields is mentioned in your resume and hence repetition is quite boring. The interviewers or the panel of interviewers are actually watching the time frame in which you are replying or whether you are confident about yourself. So the answer should talk about your interests, personality and also the keen need for learning.

Jobs are scarce and also tough in these times. But perseverance is essential at all times. It can also so happen that a particular interviewer may corner you about the opinion you generated. Wavering to a different point in order to play safe is the biggest mistake. Believe in your dreams, about your positive opinions and be yourself at the interview.
