For most of us, interviews are scary and intimidating. The constant pressure to appear as a viable candidate in front of the interviewer is overwhelming.<\/p>\n

According to a recent survey<\/a>, it was seen that the average conversion rate for jobs lies between 30-40%. So, if you want to make a difference and stand out, you are reading the right article!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It all starts with building the right CV!<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    When you are applying for your dream job, it is like fighting an uphill battle. In that case, you need to be equipped with the right arms and ammunition. You have to curate the perfect CV.<\/p>\n

    What are the things that you need to highlight? Start with your achievements followed by your academics and so on. But make sure your CV is properly organized and segmented so that you do not end up cluttering it.<\/p>\n

    Only the achievements or experiences that can be justified with a viable certificate must be mentioned. For instance, winning an elocution contest in the 7th<\/sup> standard is an irrelevant achievement in comparison to contributing a research paper in your final semester of college.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. The first impression is always the last impression!<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      I am sure you have heard this 100 times, but irrespective of as many times you hear it, it still holds true. If you want to progress to the next rounds of interview, you need first to make a statement.<\/p>\n

      The clothes you wear also showcase your confidence. It is better to dress in formals, but make sure they are well-ironed.<\/p>\n

      For men, the hair and facial hair should be neatly trimmed and for women, you should keep your hair neatly tied, with minimal or no makeup. You should also smell nice, as it adds to the confidence and your polished shoes will speak a lot about your personality in general.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Do a little research about the company and the job opening.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        If you want to create a difference amidst the crowd, you should be well informed about the company. You can read about it on the internet, and do basic research about their mission and vision.<\/p>\n

        If you know what the job opening is, you should also read about the job description and find out how you can fit in the role and make a difference.<\/p>\n

        As a part of the interview preparation process, you can also check out Top Interview Questions by IK<\/a> and find out questions relating to your relevant domain of the interview.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Craft your opening statement around a fruitful introduction.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          An opening statement matters a lot if you want to set the tone of the interview. It can be an introduction statement, showing the side of you, which is not there on your CV, or you can also pick up an arbitrary topic, which has relevance to your interview, and talk about your opinion in general. It is a great ice-breaker that helps you to stand out among everyone else.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Never shy away from highlighting your achievements.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Your achievements are your hard-earned efforts. So, never fail to talk about it and highlight its prowess. This will also help the recruiter to understand your strengths, however, you should also highlight the crisis, which you have managed in these situations.<\/p>\n

            Nothing is as good as a candidate, who can keep control of their nerves while managing a crisis. If you want more insights, you can also go to Interview Kickstart on YouTube<\/a>, as this channel has a repository of preparation videos.<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Are you the right candidate for the job?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Why would the interviewer hire you for the job when they are 100 others sitting with the same credentials? So, understand the requirements of the job role, and then curate your answer depending on that.<\/p>\n

              This shows that you are prepared and ready for the job. Make sure that your passion is visible in your conversation and your determination to learn is felt during the interview.<\/p>\n

              Over to you\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

              A study<\/a> showed that 47% of interviews end up not giving jobs to people who do not know the company, well. So, if you don\u2019t want to contribute to that, make sure you do your research well.<\/p>\n

              All the best!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
