Show your long-term plans instead of going for the short-term plans for the company. There should be a mutual commitment towards the job or the organization. As the company needs you as much as you need the company. There is nothing like ‘me’ and ‘I’ in the organization, it is always about what ‘we’ do for a company.
Choose your Domain and don’t be Obdurate
Having a command over a particular domain will provide credibility to your learning. Clear all your basic concepts but don’t forget to show your hunger for learning. Picture yourself in a frame where you acknowledge your learning and your desire to implement your learning in the growth of the company. Avoid being overconfident and conflictive. You are there to get a job and not to be stubborn. Don’t lead a conversation into a conflict. a sensible humor is good to pull but still avoid it as much as you can.
First Sight and Last Move
Your first sight is your first impression and your last move is your evaluation. Maybe your interview will continue for an hour or so but it is your first sight where the company has decided either you is in or not. Greet your interviewer with a smile and warm gesture. Secondly, it is your last move after which immediately you will be evaluated. The first three minutes of the interview are the most influencing minutes of the interview. Frame your sentences properly and maintain your body posture. Build a good and healthy communication with the interviewer. Your confidence, ability to make eye contact, ability to discuss your ideas and thoughts are also some important factors which lead you towards the placement.

Lower down your Stress
Almost every student faces the problem of stress during the interview. There are some students who can easily handle the stress whereas some students find themselves unable to lower their stress level. An optimal level of stress is needed to avoid us from being overconfident whereas a high level of stress can haunt you. Don’t be hyper, just relax, take a deep breath, release your nervousness and you are ready to go. Overcome your weaknesses Every person has some strength and some weaknesses. But have you ever wondered how it is so easy to tell about your strength while why it is so hard to figure out your weaknesses? It is not important to tell all your weaknesses to the interviewers. You have to tell them about some of those weaknesses which can somehow seem to be positive for the company or the job offered. You have to be very contingent while listing your weaknesses.
Question about the Company’s growth
Try to snatch a chance to question your interviewer. And if you are lucky enough to get a chance to question than be prepared about what you are going to ask. Ask the interviewer, about the growth of the company or organization instead of asking about your own growth in the company. Ask about the future plans of the company, about the team of the company, about the technologies they are using. This will show your interest and passion towards the job and the company. Home Page
