Career Tips | What To Say In A Job Interview - Part 1


An interview basically decides the course of your career. A good interview can make your career and a bad interview can seriously hamper your progress. Thus, it is very important to know what to say when you attend an interview. Therefore, keep the following tips in mind while going for an interview.

1. The art of listening
During an interview, it is important to hear, understand and keep in mind what the interviewer is saying. A good listener always makes a great impression.
Therefore while listening carefully to the interviewer, arrange your answers in your mind. This will also give you ample time to prepare some good answers.

2. When to speak
Keep in mind when to speak and when not to speak during an interview. Those who speak without thinking, at the wrong time, are always at a high risk of being labeled as a talkative person, or a person who does not think properly before he or she speaks out.Thus it is better to keep silent and listen to what the interviewers have to say.

3. The information you provide
The amount of information you give out is as equally important as the amount of information you receive during an interview. Try your best to maintain your composure and remain calm and confident.
Remember not to fidget while answering any of the questions as this will only make the interviewer think that you are getting confused and are not confident.

4. Provide facts
Keep your facts as short as possible. Keep in mind that the interview is of a very short time duration. Give out only the facts which the interviewer asks you about.
