Guidelines on the Interview Day

Sakshi Education

Unlike written examination in interview one’s 3 dimensional presence is required. One has to be very mindful of his body, dress and his facial expressions.

Guidelines on the Interview day:
Dress: Should be neat and formal without any hi-fi to distract the attention.

When one enters the room he should gently knock the door & ask the permission of the interviewers. Mistake usually done - one enters the room & then asks the permission like “May I come in sir”. Avoid this as you are already in.
Walk confidently to the interview table and don’t just sit on the chair on your own, unless the interview panel asks you to sit.
Sit in a comfortable posture – don’t lean on the interview table or slack back – but body be straight & relaxed, hand placed on your right thighs. This posture helps you to be flexible in making gesticulations (hand movements)
Let your face be smiling or wear a smile on your face.
If interview is taken by 2-3 persons see that you make eye contact with every one, if a question is asked by one person look pleasantly into his eyes and answer the question while you glance (quick look) at others in the panel.
The common mistake made by the candidates is they look up or look down or they are defocused. Avoid this.
Be very confident when you are answering the questions and remember that interview is not a question answer session. If you don’t know the answer to a particular question, with cool confident smile say that you don’t know the answer. This shows your honesty.
See that your bio-data is kept simple and truthful as many of the questions are asked based on your bio-data.
