Interview selection parameters; know them beforehand and secure your selection
You all would have attended many interview in past and would have got feedback after the interview that “your profile doesn’t suits with the requirement” or “will call you back” or some other answer , just to avoid saying “NO” directly.
Generally this happen, because in interviews ,we try to tell what ever we want to tell (all the good(s), not what the interviewer wants to hear. Most of times we just answer the question asked by interviewer, without knowing what exactly the interviewer wants to judge by asking that question.
“Always remember –interview is not a Question and Answer Session. Its time to market and sell your Qualities, achievements and yourself to your prospective employer”
