When preparing for an interview alot of things come to your mind such as will you get the job,are your qualifications good,is your resume proper and for some even the clothes they are wearing is a big issue.But something which every candidate frets about are the questions they are going to face in that room.
Generally interviewers tend to draw a lot from the first impression of the candidate which is more based on the appearance but this shouldn't be a big issue as jobs are meant for smart people and as said 'looks can be deceptive' but yes you should be presentable enough.
After this come the questions and one famous first question is "can you tell me about yourself ?".Many candidates lose their confidence here which affects the whole interviewing session.But given a thought the question is justified as the interviewer really doesn't know anything about you and it also helps him/her to evaluate the candidate's communication skills,confidence and articulation skills and the answer of course.People generally answer the question with information about their education,place of living,family background,interests etc.These parameters are already mentioned in the resume and so its not really a good answer.The candidate should tell the interviewer other things which are not mentioned in the resume such as career objectives and goals.The answer must include the candidate's strengths,leadership skills,willingness to learn etc.The answer has not to be elaborate and pompous.The person should give some details as to how he is fit for the post applied.A good answer puts the candidate in better position and confident for the rest of the interview.A good thing to do would be that the candidate rights down an ideal and practices is well before an interview.And remember you won't find the answer anywhere else as its only about YOU!
Recently I have also posted about new types of questions(puzzles) asked in the interviews.Here they are.
