Types of interviews
Job Interviews • Campus interviews • On-site interviews • Telephonic interviews • Videoconferencing interview Campus interviews • Campus interviews are the interviews conducted at the campuses of colleges.
• The companies inform the students well in advance through the placement department of the college that they would be visiting their campus to select students for jobs.
• Once the companies arrive at the campus they would deliver a presentation (known as Pre-placement Talk) to the interested students (about themselves, the type of projects they carry out, the selection mode ,etc. • As a company has to conduct several rounds of interview in a limited time, it may be able to spend only a little time with students. Hence, these interviews will be brief and to the point. On-site interviews
• On-site interviews are the interviews conducted at company
premises. Many companies shortlist candidates after going through their résumés or talking to them over phone and call them to the company for a face-to-face interview. • At times, shortlisted candidates of the campus interview may also be called for a final interview at their office. • As the interviewers have more time on hand in this type of interview, they may be able to spend more time with each candidate. • This type of interview may be more detailed than the campus interviews. Telephonic interviews
• Telephonic interviews are the interviews conducted by the companies
over the telephone. • This type of interview may be used for shortlisting the candidates by talking to them and verifying the details of the résumés that they have submitted. • The interviewing company informs the candidates well before, seeks their convenience, and sends an email to confirm the date and time of the interview. • Generally, a telephonic interview is shorter than the face-to-face interview and may not be the final interview for selecting the candidates. Videoconferencing interview • Many companies especially multinationals conduct videoconferencing interviews to select candidates for jobs. • When hiring for senior positions from within the country or across the world, companies may use this mode of interviewing. • Interviewers inform the candidates about the videoconferencing facility they have arranged in the candidates’ institute or campus, they can use such facility. Otherwise, the candidates need to go to a nearby agency that provides videoconferencing facilities. • There is a professional setting as in an in-person interview. Preparing for interviews
The key to success in an interview is not only one’s experience, grades,
extracurricular activities, but one’s work attitude.
The way most employers differentiate among candidates at the entry
level is by the candidates’ attitude towards work. They look for those who have the ‘can-do’attitude and are sincerely willing to put forth their very best effort. Preparing for interviews • Preparation of résumé • Personal attributes • Mock interview • Knowing the prospective employer • Awareness of job description • Subject fundamentals • Memorizing your résumé Preparation of résumé • A résumé is a written record of a candidate’s education, and past and present occupation, prepared when applying for a job.
• This document enables the employer to judge the candidate’s
potential for the post.
• The résumé should be modified as per the requirements of the job
and the organization. Personal attributes • One needs to analyse one’s own hard and soft skills, strengths, weaknesses, attitude, likes, and dislikes. At least two unique strengths and weaknesses must be distinguished. • Analyse yourself carefully and note down your important strengths and weaknesses. • If you have a negative attitude, try to change yourself. Mock interview • A mock interview is more than just a chance to work out the interview jitters. • It is an opportunity to practise interviewing technique and answers live. • It is also a chance to hear constructive feedback from someone who can guide towards improving the style and presentation during the real interview. • Just one mock interview may bring about a marked improvement in the interview skills.
• Ideally, the mock session should be videotaped, and thereby review your answers and then go through a second mock interview. This will give you confidence in your first real/actual interview.

• Knowing your main subjects well before an interview gives you
immense confidence, which in turn leads to a better performance. Memorizing your résumé
• For everything written in your résumé, try to have a paragraph worth
of information in addition to what is already said.
• If you are too nervous to remember everything, it is all right to hold a
copy of your résumé in your hand to jog your memory.
