As you approach this exciting threshold of your life, you will be nervous and optimistic at the same time. Here are some pointers which will help you to feel more confident and sound more prepared during the interviews. Here are some on-campus placement hacks: Current affairs: Companies no longer seek out the bookworms or academic champions. They look for awareness, street-smartness, and consciousness of the world. Reading the recent news and updating yourself about current affairs (national and global) can help create the impression of a person who is prepared beyond books and academics. Using examples and points for discussion based on business, politics, sports, and other topics can really make the candidate more impressive. Research: Recruiters do not want to be an option on your list of many interviews for the week. They want you to be interested and aware of the role you’re applying for. Reading about the company and perhaps the role, in brief, can help converse at another level with the interviewer. It shows that you are interested in and committed to the company and position you’re applying for. Practice: You can practice speech (loud and clear voice) and posture in front of a mirror or with your friends/batch-mates. Be ready with common subjects like introducing yourself, describing your journey, discussing your career plans, and so on. Practice maintaining a smile, an upbeat attitude, and the right sitting position through the interview of different duration. If you are prepared, confident, and clear about your perspective – recruiters will choose you for more than your academic performance. The professional industry of modern times requires dynamic individuals with a go-getter attitude.
