How to excel in an Interview – II

As I had suggested that we will move on the topic with the flow of the day so that we can take up each and every aspect as it comes by and hence we will start with the first thing for the day i.e.

Getting ready for the day! 

Have a good night sleep before the interview day

It is easier said than done but try to think about other things in order to get a good night sleep otherwise it will only add to your stress and you may even sit up in the middle of the night to revise a certain hopeless topic that you are not able to recall. You have had so many days to think and recreate your interview in mind and you cannot change anything at the last moment. You should look fresh and ready for the day.

How to excel in an interview - I?

           Getting through an interview is the biggest nightmare of the intelligent and the dumb alike. You all must have felt nervy before an interview at some point or the other in your career. Must have also wished that you had answered that question differently or negotiated with the situation more tactfully.

Let’s face it.

Interviews are not normal conversations. Why? Because you are there in the hot seat and the interviewer is the authority figure that has all the power to select or reject you. This is scary, isn’t it? Panic creeps in with the fear of failure. The biggest mistake that the interviewees commit is that they over prepare for an interview and that to in the manner they prepare for their written tests and exams. All this preparation seems futile after coming out of that ordeal. It’s also difficult to actually assess as what went wrong because you either never get or wrongly get a feedback on how have you performed in an interview.
