Some things about interviews

To interview candidates is not an easy task. It takes a different kind of pain interviewing candidates who themselves don’t know what they want. Each of them makes guess work about each other. If God forbade, things go well, or each are left behind hurt and painful not understanding each other.

Interviewing many candidates, we usually carry a list of questions that we intend to ask. This is what an amateur interviewer would do. He would run to the internet type ‘most usual questions for an interview’ and then ask the questions in order; he will appear to ask them as if they are originally made by him, no plagiarism. The famous question which would have been repeated in so many interviews is ‘Tell me something about you’. This sentence must have repeated so many times it can audaciously stay as a candidate for world record.

When you ask him how he takes interviews he would call it an art, not within the grasp of a layman. Some may call it a process. But we can’t deny that the interviewee has to agree to what he is saying. They even call such interviews eliminatory process, taken by someone who is still new to the world of taking interviews. Don’t buy such signals they are all here to grill you on a barbeque. At last the interview must feel victorious after he has examined you. Only then you stand a chance of proceeding to the next level. We ought to fear more from preliminary round than the final round. The final round is predictable but the preliminary round not so.
