Real Homework Begins after School


If assignments in school are bothering you, it is important that you know, that the real test is still to come. You may graduate with flying colours, however the proof of the pudding lies in the job you land at the end of your course. Therefore homework, research and practice has to continue even after you graduate if you want to get the job of your dreams.

It’s not very difficult, and especially if you are vying for something that you are interested in, the battle is already half one. Follow the below mentioned tips and you are sure to make a grand first impression. 

Keep yourself ready
Expect the worst. When you go in for an interview, you really have no idea what the panel at the other end of the door is going to ask you, so you have to prepare for the worst. Ideally you need to ensure that you are dressed well and look presentable. You need to create a good first impression.
Know your questions
It is important that you have a basic idea of the kind of questions you may be asked. By speaking with people in the organization, you can paint a picture of the culture and therefore get a basic understanding of the kind of questions you maybe asked. Also reading up on the profile and the industry is key to anticipate questions.
Practice your answers
Give yourself a week to prepare for the interview. Now that you have a basic idea of the questions you maybe asked, seek help from veterans in the industry to help you with intelligent but honest answer. Practice them in front of the mirror so you can get the confidence you need.
