Always ensure the information provided in your resume is true to the best of your knowledge.
Read a bit about the company before you attend the selection process.
It is always useful to know about the current affairs / happenings in and outside your country.
Make a copy of all the required educational credentials, projects / special assignments / other certificates derived from extra-curricular activities that you have done during your graduation and file them in a sequential order.
A letter of reference from your college faculty / senior person in a company for whom you have done any projects / special assignments would add more brownie points to your resume.
Personal grooming is a very important factor. As the saying goes, “First Impression is the last impression”. Hence ensure you wear the right attire along with a smile. J
Always reach the venue 15 minutes prior to your interview timings. If you are new to the place, please check for the venue information 2-3 days in advance.
Always greet the interviewer with a “Hello” when you meet for the first time. The same should be ended with a “Thank You” after the interview ends.
During the interview it is important to maintain a good body posture and eye contact.
Always provide information to the point.
If you have had any breaks / gaps during your education tenure, please ensure you bring this to the notice of the interviewer.
It’s not possible for every graduate to have an idea of his / her long term goals / targets. However, a short term perspective could be charted out and explained if required.
Be honest. However, at times if you don’t have a choice, give such an answer that it doesn’t tamper with the contents given by you in your resume.
Don’ts
Never fib any information in your resume or during the interview.
If you do not know the answer for any question asked, don’t beat around the bush, just admit saying you do not know.
Never mention email ids having a flashy name. E.g.: Mysterious guy, Super girl. etc.
Do not mention any hobbies which are jazzy in nature. E.g.: Playing video games, going for long drives. etc.
Do not make your resume more than a page considering you are just a graduate without any work experience.
