Start of a Job Interview:

More than 80% interviews start with a seemingly simple question-

“Tell me about yourself?”

In my experience most of the people just start talking about their family history, educational details or give a recap of their life story.
Is this the real expectation??? Well “NO”

Most of the times students start fumbling at this question giving an indication to the interviewer of their lack of confidence.

Answer to this question could make or break an Interview and can have a huge impact on potential accept or reject.

Every interview question has a specific aim and this simple question has as well. This question is an opportunity to showcase that how well you fit with the job you are being interviewed for. The onus to prove the fit is with the candidate and this question is a wonderful opportunity to do that.

The answer to this question should be pre planned, concise and personalized. I have seen students answering this question with the generic statements like:

“I am hard working …………..”
“I am honest……………”
“I am emotional………”
“I am patient and calm……..”

To be clear these are neutral statements and there is no harm and no benefit done with these statements. But you have wasted the opportunity and time to sell yourself. Most interviewers may form a form an impression of your personality and skills with an answer to this question and in the subsequent interview re enforce their judgment formed about you.

In my next post I will address how to frame an answer to this question…………..

Internship

A company can benefit from having an intern in many ways:

·         It will give your company the opportunity to have an enthusiastic student who provides energy to the company while doing the valuable work assignments that your company normally wouldn't get done due to lack of resources

·         These students may provide a unique possibility to develop a new geographical market, being familiar with the local language, culture etc.

·         The intern may be a potential future employee in your company, since the internships has proven the intern as a new valuable employee

·         Interns can spread the word that your company is a great place to work.

·         An intern can bring new input and ideas into a given business environment, and can contribute with a new approach or new knowledge.

·         Internships are generally unpaid and thus interns don’t burden a company with a financial commitment.

Moreover, if you’re looking to infuse your company with the fresh ideas and creative perspectives that will propel you to the next category, hiring the smartest, most sought-after interns is an excellent first step. Integrate these students into your team as interns, and increase your odds of bringing them on board as employees later.
