[Intv Tips2] How to score at an interview?

How To Score @ An Interview?? With the recession leading to severe job cuts, impressing your potential employer at an interview is vital. Here's how you can nail your next interview DO'S:  1. Keep a lid on excessive hand gestures 2. Most of the times your over anxiousness about the result of an interview can make you indulge in extreme hand movements that distract from what you're saying. Too high (above shoulder height) looks a shade eccentric and unstable, while too low (below waist height) makes you look fatigued and demoralized. 3. Come prepared for an interview: If you have a long travel to undertake, carry your jacket in a suit bag, or another shirt that is neatly pressed. There's nothing worse than coming to work looking all crumpled. 4. Dress conservatively: Less is more. An interview isn't the time to show your edginess and funky style statement. Conformity might sound boring, but it's better to play safe. Choose shades like navy, white and black contrasted with lighter hues as they denote integrity and professionalism. AVOID BELOW THINGS: French manicure :  A French manicure with long nails could end up looking tacky to an interviewer. Perfect the handshake :  Offering fingertips for a handshake suggests dearth of confidence. Do not come in carrying a plastic bag :  You'll look disorganized and unfocused if you stumble in after a shopping jaunt. Also, it's at risk of falling over and spilling the contents everywhere as soon as you put it down. Thanks & regards, Suresh Chowdary Yepuri

[Intc Tips3] How 2 Avoid Interview Stress

How to Avoid Interview Stress
Do you experience severe interview stress? This article is for you.The interviewer is buttoned-up, formal and not smiling as warmly as you would have liked.

The interview chair is hard and unwelcoming, your palms and face are sweating profusely, your normal eloquence has given way to stuttering and stammering and you have begun to tremble from head to toe.

If you are one of the multitude of jobseekers who begin to hyper-ventilate at the very thought of interviewing for a new position and to whom the interview is a source of unlimited stress and trepidation, the following are some basic tips to help you through your interview woes:Imagine the interviewer is more stressed out than you are
A technique favored by many to alleviate their own stress is to remind themselves that the interviewer may be more nervous and stressed out than they are, especially if he is not a seasoned HR professional and does not normally interview new candidates.

The interviewer may not feel very comfortable assuming a role normally reserved for the HR department and may be more anxious than you are as a result. In this case you can shift your focus to alleviating the stress in the room and lightening the mood realizing you are both new to this role and that both sides will win by making the interview as smooth, fluid and informative as possible.

Imagine yourself in the interviewer' s shoes
It helps to remember when sitting in the interview spotlight that the interviewer himself is a busy man with deadlines, a job and a boss to report back to. By mentally envisioning the interviewer as a professional just like yourself who has taken time out of his busy routine to give you an opportunity to interview for the job, you can begin to empathize with the interviewer, relate to him and feel a sense of gratitude that you have made it as far as the interview stage.

Remember, getting this far is already an accomplishment and the fact that the employer has given you such a generous block of time means they are interested in your profile, abilities and qualifications. Convince yourself that the difficult part is already over (providing you have not lied on your CV) and the interview itself is just a platform to build a rapport with the team and articulate in person what they already know from your CV.

To take this a step further, you may want to put yourself in the employer's shoes - imagine you are in full control of the interview and the aim is to deliver to the employer all the answers he needs to sell you to the rest of the team clearly and succinctly. You can even go so far as to imagine that you already have the job and are just getting to know the interviewer as a professional colleague - this technique really works to alleviate the stress of the moment and reveal your real work persona and interpersonal skills.Know your subject matter Your subject matter is primarily yourself and your professional achievements, interests, skills and qualifications, particularly as summarized on your CV and as they relate to this particular job. The interview is not the time to start racking your brain for the answer to "How long did you work for ABC Motors" or "When did you join DEF" - you should know your employment history and CV like the back of your hand and be able to explain or expound on any aspect of it immediately.

Remember, you are the world's best expert on this subject matter and for the length of the interview you are completely in control of the subject matter, have an edge over the interviewer with this knowledge, and can deliver the relevant facts and figures with utmost confidence.

Read interview books:
Reading interview books will give you that extra self-confidence you need to appear calm at the interview and anticipate some of the more common questions. By eliminating most of the 'shock' value of the interview and feeling you are armed with answers to most questions that can come your way you will feel much more relaxed, comfortable and in control of the interview.

Practice and prepare:
Nothing beats practice and preparation for confidence building. While knowing yourself is the fundamental building block in the successful interview formula, knowing the job, the industry and the company come in a close second. Research these areas extensively so that the next time you are seated across from the interviewer you have a detailed knowledge of what it is they are looking for, how recent market events have shaped and influenced the company in specific and industry in general and what it is about your profile that is uniquely relevant to the job in question and can directly influence the bottom line.

Once you can see yourself as a vital piece of the puzzle by virtue of the unique skills, attributes and value-added you bring to the specific role, you can tailor the answers to all interview questions accordingly. Practice your answers bearing in mind at all times what the employer is looking for based on your research activities, and keeprepeating and fine-tuning your answers till you have perfected both the content and delivery.

Ask some-one you trust to assume the role of the interviewer and aim to perfect the answers to all the common (and any anticipated uncommon) questions you are likely to come across in the interview.

Don't well on:
your mistakesRemind yourself that everyone is fallible and that should you stumble or falter with a particularly difficult question, you can quickly recover. The secret is not to make a big issue out of a bad or outright wrong answer but to quickly take stock of what went wrong, regain composure, take remedial action if possible then refocus and move on to the next question. Keep a professional front at all times and don't let yourself get mired in any interview traps or potentially harmful comments you may inadvertently have made. It helps immensely to remember that flexibility will win the day and that should you inadvertently slip, you have the wit and intelligence to make it up with well-rehearsed, honest, sincere, exemplary answers to other interview questions.

Smile:
Laughter is the closest distance between any two people and a good smile (a close relative to laughter) can melt many a concrete professional heart. Aside from endearing you to the interviewer, showing you are pleasant and breaking the ice, a polite smile will actually make you feel happier and will lift your spirits. Aim to smile as sincerely and as often as is possible during the interview and watch how your mood and temperament lighten up and the interview takes on a more positive light.

[Intv Tips1] Successful Interview Tips

Key Things To Remember @ Interview Point Of View For A Phone Interview/Screen: Ø Take the call in a quiet place and speak up and speak clear – do not ramble and be articulate with your answers Ø Take the call from a reliable phone Ø Have a copy of your resume in front of you and the job description Ø Review the clients web site For A Face-Face Interview: Ø Remember to turn off your cell phone. Ø Appearance – Wear a matching suit to the interview, it is always best to be over dressed than underdressed. Ø Be on time; 5-7 minutes ahead of the interview time, no earlier. Ø Do not chew gum/candy Ø Do not bring a beverage into the interview. Ø Smile (when you smile at someone, they smile back), be articulate, polite, confident and alert. Ø Give a firm handshake to the interviewer( s) – extend your hand first – do not wait for them to extend their hand. By extending your hand first, it shows leadership and that you take initiative. Ø In a group interview setting, make eye contact. 80% of the eye contact should be with the person that asked the question. Make sure you make eye contact with the others in the room as well. Ø Please be sure to take a look at the company's website. General Interview Tips: Ø At the beginning of the interview, the hiring manager will ask you how you are doing. Make sure you respond in such a way that makes the conversation comfortable. Let the manager know how you are and then ask him how he is and thank him for interviewing you Ø Make sure you find out the "driving directions" (find the clients pain, find out what the project is about and what type of candidate is the hiring manager looking for? That is the driving directions-you don't want to be driving around aimlessly throughout the entire interview) This will tell you how to drive the interview. The more questions you ask the HM the more directions you will get. Ø The interview usually will start one of two ways—the client will ask you an open ended question for example, "So, tell me about your most recent project or so the looks of your resume looks like you have over 10 years of Java experience." OR the hiring manager will inform you right in the beginning about the project –in any case LISTEN—you have to have effective listening skills---you need to be looking and hearing the "driving directions" otherwise tell yourself it doesn't make sense getting in the car if you don't know where you are going. Ø Need to find out from the hiring manager what type of candidate he/she is looking for and what is the project all about-what are they trying to do (these are the driving directions) Ø Bring the interview into a conversation (not a ping pong interview). You can ask questions throughout the interview not just at the end When Answering Questions Be aware Of The Following: Ø Do not babble (repeat yourself or continue to talk about nonsense) and over talk, do not overpower the conversation Ø Do not "beat around the bush" this is not giving direct answers to the hiring manager's questions Ø Do not just skim the surface (Give detail and examples of where you used a particular technology) in your answers either—it's a fine line you need to walk and talk not being too light and not over-talking. Ø If you simply don't the answer do not try and fake it—simply say, "Manager's name, I have not had the opportunity to work with that tool, but I have no problem facing challenges and I am a quick learner." Ø If you are asked about a specific technology and you have not used that tool but something similar or a competing tool explain what you have done with that similar tool. Ø Or simply say that you have never used it but that you know what it is used for – NEVER WING IT. Ø Revert back to your resume at all times for example: "Have you worked with MQ Series?"—Your Answer: "Yes in deed, while I was at XYZ Company I worked extensively with MQ doing etc. etc. etc. Ø Take the interview into a conversation – use manager's names to establish a relationship. Ø If in the beginning of the interview if the hiring manager is asking you to repeat your answers or you're asking the hiring manager to repeat the question that should be a red flag that communication is a problem and you need to change it up. Ø Try and match the speed and tone of the hiring manager's voice. Ø Take the lead on discussion with hiring managers Ø Periodically particularly in the beginning of the interview after you answer a question, go right back to the hiring manager and ask him/her--- Ø"Do you need me to expand on that answer or expand on any particular part of that answer-I want to ensure I am giving you what you are looking for…" ØAt this point of the interview you are confirming you are DRIVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. You don't want to end an interview and then try and get confirmation… "oh by the way did I drive in the right direction?" and if you didn't the answer is going to be NO. Use the phrase "Am I driving in the right direction?" If the client is looking for an apple you need to make sure you are giving apples and not sitting there throughout the interview talking abut bananas. Ø Make sure you try to parallel the tone and how fast or slow the hiring manager is speaking—if the hiring manager is talking fast they may get frustrated with a candidate that talks very slow. Ø Be direct and to the point on client's expectations. Ø When asked an open ended question, make sure you give an open ended answer back. Ø A close ended question is "how many days are their in a week?" answer is direct and only one answer can be given 7------a open ended question could go like: "So, by looking at your resume it looks like you have worked for many years with Java"----if you just answer yes to an open ended question that is WRONG----WHEN ASKED a open ended question you need to give a open ended answer back; it is rude if you don't! When talking about previous assignments, use "I" instead of "we". Ø Give thorough answers and defend your answer. Ø Use the whiteboard if applicable. Ø The manager will indicate that the interview is coming to an end. If you have a burning question, go ahead and ask it but be respectful of the manager's time. Ø Do not assume that you got the job-Do not make comments like "I look forward to working with you…" the hiring manager has not offered the job to you why are saying its going to be great working with them???? Do Not Ask The Manager How You Did At the end of the interview let them know 4 things: 1. Thank them for their time 2. Let them know that you are interested in the opportunity and you are confident in your abilities to do a great job 3. You are local (if you in fact are) 4. You can start right away (or on a 2 weeks notice) In Addition; Here Are Some More Tips To Assist You On Your Interview. Ø You cannot be too prepared…or rehearsed. Ø Your objective in going on an interview…to get an offer! Ø An interview is a selling event. In order to get an offer, you must sell yourself and impress the company. How do you do this? Attitude. Attitude is EVERYTHING! It sounds trite, but you only have one chance to make a good first impression—and the first few minutes are the most important. Your appearance and articulation will help to carve out that very positive first impression. Ø Usually, you try to start out the meeting with some small talk to build rapport: Ø If you are meeting multiple people, remember that you must go through this process with each person you meet—do not assume that one person will tell the next person. Ø When the interviewer starts out asking you about your background and browsing your resume, you need to say, "Mr. Interviewer, before I tell you about myself, could you first tell me a little more specifically about this position and about the kind of person who will fit successfully into your organization? " Ø Now, LISTEN carefully as he tells you about the position. Ø Then, when you have a chance to respond, you can reply using your experiences that focus on what their needs are—their hot buttons. You want to show them what you can bring to the table, what you've done that will be helpful and beneficial to them… not what's in it for you. Ø Use your verbal resume that you have prepared—three to five minutes that are very logical and concise and direct/specific. Start at the beginning in a very conversational way; for each position, talk about: Ø Your responsibilities Ø Day-to-day duties Ø Tools you've used, skills you've learned. Use buzzwords and be specific about your participation. - "I was solely responsible for…" - "I was very hands on…" - "I supported more than 2,000 users in a Windows NT environment…" Ø Accomplishments— have at least one accomplishment for each position you've held, and be prepared to tell the interviewer what has made you stand out among your peers. Ø Be very positive, upbeat and accomplishment- oriented. Technical For the technical part of the interview, Ø Tell them what you DO know, instead. For example, you might say, "Well, I really haven't had the opportunity to get too involved with that, but what I do know is that is exactly the kind of challenge I'm looking for. And I feel confident that, because I'm very good with documentation, have a network of resources and am very analytical, I can pick this up without too much trouble." Interpersonal Ø This part is absolutely every bit as important as the technical. You must project yourself in the image of a "good person," someone who is bright, quick, energetic, enthusiastic, FLEXIBLE, loyal, hardworking and fun to be with—someone with a good sense of humor. People Hire People They Like. The Primary Attributes Interviewers Look For: Ø What is the most important quality they are looking for? Ø What are their plans for the next quarter? The next year? Ø What is the technical mix on the team? Ø With what other groups does the team interface? Ask Questions As Many As You Can: Ø I know on the first day of a new job, there is a lot of HR paperwork, but how will I spend my second day? Ø You demonstrate your interest through body language—solid eye contact, sitting straight and still, leaning a bit forward when appropriate (not leaning back and crossing you arms). Your facial expressions are important—nod, smile, and grin. Ø Interest is also demonstrated through general enthusiasm in what the interviewer has to say. You want to come across as genuine, positive … confident but not cocky or arrogant. Stay away from statements that limit you; stay away from negatives such as "I don't know" or "I can't." And stay away from negatives about why you are leaving your job—talk about what you want to get into, not what you want to get away from. Negatives can make you look like a complainer. Availability Ø When they ask you when you'd be available, say "When would you like me to be available?" The Magic Question As the meeting ends, you must say to the interviewer: Ø Let the hiring manager know that you feel confident in your abilities to do a good job for them if they select you Ø Let them know that you are excited about the opportunity, possibly when you could start, and that you want it At this point, if there are any misunderstandings or things that need to be clarified, you'll have another chance to do so. And then you can ask, "What is the next step?" Thanks & regards, Suresh Chowdary Yepuri

INTERVIEW PREPARATION-1

INTERVIEW PREPARATION:


You have been granted an interview because your qualifications are exactly what the company is looking for. Congratulations! What’s next? Preparing, research and practice!


Now is the time to start your research on the company. Be thorough and learn everything that you can about the company. Most of the relevant information you need to arm yourself is going to be easily accessed on the internet, business journals or in newspaper articles.


The job description you are applying for should also be researched. The information you need to find is a Base salary and job requirements. These facts will help you later in determining your pay if you should be offered the job in a second interview. Remember not to bring up pay during your first interview. Avoid setting a figure that you might later regret. In the same manner, putting down a low figure and then changing it during negotiations would portray you as being greedy.


Of course you can’t anticipate every question that will be asked, but practicing some general questions will help you gain the confidence you need for the real interview. Do not be surprised if the interviewer should ask you a question they do not expect you to be able to answer. If this happens to you be honest. Say that you do not know the answer but you would like to give an educated guess. This will impress the interviewer. Review your answers to the practice questions and critic yourself, or ask a friend for feedback. Interviewing is a learned skill and the more you practice the better you will become.


Make sure your resume is up to date and free of typing errors. There is nothing worse than having an outdated resume with spelling errors. Bring extra copies of your resume and be prepared to explain everything that is listed.


Part of the preparation of interviewing is deciding on what to wear. Call the company and tell them that you are coming in for an interview and you would like to know what the office policy is for attire. Business attire is always the most professional, even if the office attire is casual. You always want to dress one step above what is expected. Dress to impress! Make sure your clothing is clean and pressed and you shoes are shined.


Nothing breaks a business outfit like a dirty, dusty pair of shoes.

Find out where the interview will take place. Once you know this information do a trial run to see how much time it takes to arrive. This will be very important information so that you arrive on time. It is not good to show up late for an interview. It could either show that you are inconsiderate of the interviewers time or that you did not care enough to find out ahead of time.


Imagine that today is the interview day. See yourself driving to the location, parking and entering the building. Make sure that you arrive in plenty of time to give yourself a last minute head to toe check. Smile and proceed to the reception desk. Greet the receptionist with all due respect. After all, this is the first person you will have contact with and their opinion might well be factored in the hiring process.


Now you have been asked to enter the interview room. Remember to greet your interviewer with a smile and a firm handshake. Make eye contact but don’t stare into their eyes. You don’t want to given them reason to feel uneasy. The most important thing to remember during your interview is to breathe! It will not only relax you, but it will calm your speech pattern. If you are nervous, your breathing will be shallow and you will sound like you just ran a mile to the interview.


Remember all the important techniques you practiced before? Now is the time to implement them into the meeting. Don’t be overly friendly with the interviewer. This is not a social event; it is about business.
Make sure you remember to get business cards from everyone you will come in contact with on the interview day.


Most interviewers will give out their business cards but if they do not, request one. This will serve two purposes. It will give you the name, address and phone number for sending a thank you note after the interview. Secondly, it will give you the person to contact so you can follow up on the interview process.
Be positive and enthusiastic. Make sure you sell yourself without exaggerating. This is your moment to shine and prove that you are the most viable candidate for the job opening.
