Preperation for an Interview

Why Interviews are used?

• From Job Applicants’ Perspective
  • The primary objective of a job applicant is to make the best use of the time to convince the interviewers that he is the most suitable candidate.
  • It is also a good opportunity for the applicant to learn more about the company and the job nature before he decides whether or not to accept the job (if offered).
• From Interviewers’ Perspective
  • Verification: To check against the information provided in the applicant’s resume and/or reference letter
  • Observation: To observe the applicant’s manner, disposition, personality, etc. in a face-to-face context
  • Test: To evaluate the applicant’s aptitude, talent and knowledge, etc. through various means
  • Assessment and decision-making: To determine the applicant's abilities and sincerity in taking up the post based on the verified information and observations
• Treasure Every Opportunity
• When you are invited to attend a selection interview, you must have outscored many other applicants. It also implies that your qualification/experience has preliminarily matched the employer’s expectations. Do seize this opportunity and get well prepared. If you can perform well in the interview and follow up proactively, you will stand a good chance of being selected.
