About Interview
An interview is a process which looks at how you react to various situations. It involves thinking on your feet. An interview gives an opportunity to the interviewer to peep into your mind and look at your thought process. Hence it is important that you do not answer the questions in monosyllables but elaborate on what you think about the issue being discussed. Look at each question in the interview as an opportunity to show more good things about yourself to the interviewers. You may wonder what the interviewer can assess about the interviewee in short period of time. Do not forget that the interviewers are experienced people – they know what to look for and will be able to do a pretty good job of mapping the profile of the candidate with the help of few questions that they ask the candidates in the interview….
