Presenting oneself in an Interview

The interview is something where the HR or the Manager looks at how you have come for the interview, more of your personality. Since I’ve got so much experience I’ve seen ppl come in with Casual attire that’s would be Jeans & T-shirt and casual shoes or slippers. Well, that’s totally not appropriate to go for an interview in the first place. You’ll have to wear a neatly pressed shirt & pants tucked in, belt & formal shoes. Your looks should be impressive & give a positive thought about yourself. Also, your hair neatly combed. There are times when I’ve sent the candidates back just because come for an interview so shabby. If you are coming from a far distance, just ask for a washroom and refresh, come for the interview. Your attire or say your appearance tells us how you are and how you’ll the right person the job too.

So usually the first level of discussion happens on the call with candidates by the Recruiter. Even if we call the candidates for a face to face interview, a recruiter is the first person to handle the candidate and shortlist them for the next level of the interview process. So here is where the recruiter makes sure if you are the right fit for the position to be filled in the required team.

The first thing is to keep yourself relaxed and doesn’t feel the pressure within. Be presentable to the interviewer and active, give a simple smile, and greet them.

1. State your full name

2. State your qualifications

3. Talk about your work experience (if experienced)

4. If you are fresher talk about your experience in the project.

5. Talk about where you are from and where you live.
