All through your school & college life you have been told, what needs to be done to take the next step towards becoming an adult who is able to apply their coursework and take a step closer towards starting their professional journey.
You complete all these step (with 15-17 years of study) and are ready to enter the professional world, with glowing academic background, confident in the hard-skills you possess and all of sudden you find yourself being interviewed by a room full of strangers, where
You don’t know what are they expecting you to answer
Why interview after interview you get replies like “we will get back to you “… (you never hear from them again) or “sorry you are not selected “.
It is only after 10-15 failed attempts at giving Job Interviews, dealing with rejection and doubting your capabilities that you finally get a job (if you are lucky), and there is no scope of trying to find out “if this is the right job for you”, cause all your friends and classmates have been already placed.
What if there was some guide which could tell you why you did not get selected, even when you answered all the technical questions correctly. Or what are behavioral aspects which the interviewers look for in a candidate. Or what if you knew what are the questions that will be asked from you during the interview, or how about you telling the interviewer which questions to ask.
But as quoted by Robin Jordan “If wishes had wings, Pigs could fly”
The best way to succeed in a Job Interviews as Fresher is to PREPARE + PRACTICE.
But before that let’s understand what do employers look for in a entry level candidate, and let me tell you across industries and around the globe, the hiring managers are looking only for 2 things in a candidate and that is: Aptitude & Attitude.
While aptitude is something which you develop, during your graduation & post-graduation and have a proof (mark-sheets) to show how good & excellent you are for the job. It is actually the professional and mature outlook that gets evaluated the most during Job interviews.
How do I know this? … being a Campus hiring lead for around 12 yrs, with one of the biggest IT company of the world (IBM) I realized that interviews were less about what candidates knew and more about how well they were able to express what they knew.
With this knowledge and experience I have designed THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO CRACKING JOB INTERVIEWS, in which you will get to learn, how to prepare for Job Interviews as a Fresher and land your dream job.
