This article has benefited both professionals in their future endeavors. Don't miss reading carefully. Ignorance may leave you behind.
1) Create a Professional Portfolio
Portfolio? Its a really tough job. No, sir, don't think more; it's a very simple job. You don’t need to be a specialist or a visual arts student to create your own portfolio.
A portfolio is nothing but a file of your educational and cultural achievements. Arrange all your success stories in a good, gentle-looking folder.
You may find such folders on many online shopping portals. Amazon is one of them.
One more thing: do not put all the below in one envelope. Insert it in a separate transparent envelope.
- Impressive Cover letter - Should not be colorful. If you want a sample, you may follow our resume/cover letter bot service.
- Resume/CV - A detailed guideline to be followed in another article "WHY I AM NOT GETTING JOB INTERVIEW"
- Recommendation letter- You may be recommended by your professors or vocational trainers for your character, exceptional knowledge, and way of thinking, which have benefited other students.
- Copies of educational certificates- licenses and degrees. Also include relevant classes you have taken even when you didn’t earn a certificate, license, or degree yet.
- In house projects and Vocational training Certificates Copies of awards, honors, or other forms of achievement.
- Computer education/ course certificates- During your study, all professionals may complete at least some relevant computer courses that may benefit you and your company too.
- Samples of your Vocational training & project document Considered to be a new graduate, it will become a demonstrating hands-on abilities achieved from Vocational training and projects.
2) Research the Job, Interviewer, Organization, and Industry
Prior to arriving for the interview- Evaluate the job yourself to identify why you are applying and whether you are fit for the position.
- After that, you should research the interviewer to identify what kind of experience they are seeking and whether it has really benefited you within the company.
- Moreover, it is important to research the organization and the industry. It will help to create a comfort zone, and you can answer any questions related to their products and services. It will show your interest in the company.
A practical experience with a similar scenario happened to me when I reached the company office named GSK (GlaxoSmithKline).
The lack of research about GSK made me totally confused, but fortunately while waiting in the lobby, found the product called "Horlicks," a renounce health drink for all ages.
As usual, I faced a question related to the company product.
I can happily answer that "I am still loving Horlicks as my daily health drink, which is easy to digest.
I am really delighted to get an opportunity to have an interview with such a product manufacturing company, which I have loved since my childhood."
After that, no way for rejection.😊(smiling face with smiling eyes)
3) Keep the Answers handy to Commonly Asked Questions
- Tell me about yourself?
- Why do you want to work here?
- What’s a time you exercised leadership skills?
- Where do you see yourself in five years?
- What is your strengths and weaknesses?
- How long you willing to continue with us?
- What is your salary expectation?
- Which Chapter in your syllabus you like most?
These are some commonly asked questions that interviewers may be asked during your interview. Prepare basic and easy points that you may remember. but sentences must have some weight.
Don't stress yourself; be easygoing and relaxed during the interview. Always keep in mind that, as you require a job, companies also need you. So they select you.
Do you feel stressful, do not worry. Improve your mental health before interview
4) Confidence and professionalism for a successful appearance
After a successful research on the company, you may understand their culture, way of representation, taste of the employer, modesty, value, etc.
Based on that, you may get a good idea about the dressing requirement, which gives a first impression of your appearance. Generally, dresses must be cleaned, pressed, and fit the body. You may not require a suit and tie for all sectors.
We may suggest visiting the company About Us page of a relevant website; it may guide you most.
Otherwise, you may consult with your job consultant for an interview dress code. They will definitely guide you.
Sometimes we observe that freshmen overlook talent because they think it is more important than dressing up. They reached the interviewer with a schedule, a dress, and slippers.
We must suggest to those who change their thoughts that an unprofessional way of approaching things is never acceptable to the employer.
Keep in mind that you are not on campus. Now your overall package is worth it for the company.
5) Now Technical session
May be other disciplines raise the question that we are not from a technical background, maybe accounting, health, or so. It is a common term for all sectors during an interview. There are two sessions to be conducted.
1. Technical session
2. Human resources session
We will not discuss the technical questions, but you may prepare for the technical session as suggested.
Remember, the interviewer will never ask questions that are not applicable to the freshmen.
The interviewer always emphasizes the basic knowledge of your study. Prepare two to three good chapters that are relevant to that industry.
Again, for this, you have to do research as suggested earlier.
Of course, you may ask how we may remember all those syllabuses. I will suggest an easy technique like "writing a note on the white portion of the study book containing key words of the subject.
It will help you remember the whole topic, and when you turn the page, you will remember the key words easily.
Should you need more clarity on this topic, I suggests an online chat. Don't hesitate. Contact us.
We will provide you with in-depth counseling free of charge.
The human resources session will come last after a successful technical round. As we explained earlier, know their products and services.
Projects, Sectors, and Nature of their Job Salary structure, etc. It will help to give a good punch to the HR round.
6) Demo Interview practice
We term it a "demo," but we always consider it a real interview. You may take help from your elder or friends of similar interest.
Follow our "Technique for Landing a Job" for a perfect guide.
7) Ask Insightful Questions (If interviewer allow)
In the event that the interviewer allows you to ask any question about the job position you are seeking or the industry, the question should be insightful and not one that is already on their website.
You may ask,
Are they offering training and courses that will benefit both my career and the company's mission?
Do you have practice signing bonuses?
So your interest in sport and culture.
If you want to know more about the types of questions you may ask, then read Interview Performance.
Always be polite in nature. Use such words as honored, so grateful, allow me, graceful, I do understand, I see, thank you so much, etc.
If you feel uncomfortable with English communication, do the course.
8) Follow-up with the Interviewer
Now it's time to take a breath! You have completed the interview successfully. Remember, if the interviewer does not disclose your result at the same time, do not ask them on the spot. Take a day or two and follow up with the interviewer or consultant for the result.
"How to Follow Up After an Interview—and How Not to" is a good read for your guide.
