In any
engineering student's life in India, Campus placement is one of the most
important phases- in-fact, it's a career-determining stage.
The experience
can, by nature, get nerve-wracking.
However, with
decent preparation and composed state-of-mind, one can crack it. Apart from
subject-oriented knowledge, you need smart play and confidence to score that
dream job.
Here are tips
for engineering students to crack campus-placement interviews.
Research
about the employer; Build a solid resume
Research:
Do conduct a thorough research about the interviewer/company, beforehand. This
will boost up your confidence, and your ability to answer the interview
questions well.
Resume:
At
times, your resume is the first thing the employers get to know you through.
So, make sure to write a professional, crisp, honest and attractive resume to
impress the interviewer right away.
Mind
your body language and dressing sense
Campus
placements are not just about how much subject-oriented knowledge you possess.
You also have to look presentable and professional, in order to impress the
employer.
So, you must
present yourself in a mature and professional manner.
Plus, act smart,
maintain good posture, and talk confidently.
Also, make sure
to wear crisp, well-ironed and clean clothes to improve your chances of getting
selected.
Your
state of mind is vital during the interview
It's important
to strike that mental balance- so, neither be overconfident, nor anxious,
during your campus placement interviews. The key here is to showcase your
talent and knowledge while maintaining a calm and composed state of mind.
A
few more general tips for campus placement interviews
Practise mock
interviews before actually appearing for the hiring round. This will enhance
your confidence and improve your comfort level.
Avoid
back-to-back interviews. Shortlist companies you really are interested in, and
make time for only those.
Always arrive on
time, as late comers often lose their chances.
Also, end the
interview on a positive note, say a generous "Thank you".
