In today's world, one just cannot escape interviews. Getting a good job, cracking an interview in not a very big deal. When you get into a college, first thing comes to mind is about its placements. And in your final year, getting a Job is your top priority (placements starts to build up in your mind).
It is quite natural. Specially, for freshers who are about to enter this corporate world, this whole scenario seems a bit scary. But let me assure you mastering the art to crack the interviews is not so much hype. Let me describe the placement procedure for most of the companies (mainly technical and consultancies).
Firstly in most colleges of India, the company puts a restriction on basis student aggregate percentage. You need to maintain a minimum percentage to be eligible for company. Every company has its own minimum percentage requirement. Though this is in no way indication of your or companies reputation and its future prospects. Secondly, a written test is held for the eligible students. Few students are short listed on basis of their performance in the written test. Then a GD (optional, depends on company) is held. Again few students are shortlisted. Then comes the personal interview. PI ( No of Personal Interviews are also varying, different for different companies. Usually, one technical and one HR interview is held). Interviews are mostly two on one, but sometimes it can get a lot worse with five or six company guys taking on a single student. I have faced both kinds and I personally feel the latter one to be more stressful. I have talked to few interviewers, and let me tell you with the increased competition these days, their job ain't easy. To overcome their problem, student has to overcome many types to interview before they get a job. Some of types are -:
- Face interview
- Group interview
- Behavioral interview
- Telephone interview
- Panel interview
- Stress interview
