“At the end of the day,
it’s not what I learned
but what I taught;
not what I got
but what I gave;
not what I did
but what I helped another achieve
that will make a difference
in someone’s life… and in mine.”

“All of the certificates of recognition we receive in
life will fade.The monuments we build will
crumble. The trophies will corrode.
But what we do for others will make a lasting
impact on our world.
True success comes only when every generation
continues to develop the next generation, teaching
them the value and the method of developing the
next group of leaders.”
John C. Maxwell

Notas del editor
As a part of your recruitment, you may have to present yourself either before one person or panel of interviewers.
To find the right job and to succeed in our career, we need various sets of skills, some of which are specific to the career that we choose and some useful to us whatever career we choose.
The technical and professional skill sets that are needed in our career may vary depending on the work we do, our clients, the location where we are working, the requirements of our job, the level and hierarchy at which we work. They are career specific, each career demands a different set of them.
But communication and language skills are fairly common to all careers.
So it is crucial for us to learn them as they are going to be helpful to us irrespective of the career we choose.
The self-introduction exam lasts about 4-5 minutes and gives the interviewer a chance to find out a little about you through some simple 'getting-to-know-you' questions. You will have something to talk about such as your family, your interests and where you come from. This is your opportunity to get off to a good start!
In the process of your job searching, it's important to be prepared for a phone interview, sometimes with hardly any prior notice. Be prepared and learn how to pull off your phone interview without a hitch.
A job interview gives you a chance to shine and prove that you are a good fit for it. What you say and what you do is going to either move you to the next round of consideration for employment or knock you out.
How would you describe yourself?
Your answer should show the interviewer why you are a good match for the job. For instance, you are a problem solver, creative thinker, people’s person, perfectionist, well organized etc. Give supporting arguments.
What is your biggest achievement?
Give an example of something you accomplished that is directly related to the job.
What is your greatest weakness?
Try to turn a negative into a positive.
What is your greatest strength?
Discuss attributes that will qualify you for the job.
What motivates you?
Share your enthusiasm and what you like best about your job.
Why should we hire you?
Give concrete examples of why your skills and accomplishments make you the best candidate for the job.
Describe your personal experience and background.
Narrate your experience and convince why it is your most memorable.
Who was your best teacher?
Substantiate what you say.
List a few activities and talk about one in detail.
Don't discuss your goals for further studies or having a family, they are non-relevant and could knock you out of contention for the job.
“I see myself as a top performing employee in a well-established organization, like yours. I plan to further enhance my skills and move up into a managerial position.”
How much salary are you expecting?
Be realistic and reasonable. Find out how much the job and you are worth. Say the expectation is open based upon the position and the overall compensation package. Or tell the employer you would like to know more about the responsibilities prior to discuss salary. Or you may suggest a salary range based upon your research.
Why do you want this job?
I want this job because it seems tailored to my competencies.
What can you contribute?
Give examples of how your education, skills, accomplishments, and experience will make you an asset for the employer.
Are you willing to travel/ relocate?
Be honest. There is nothing wrong in asking how much travel is involved.
Are you willing to work late hours?
Be honest.
