Prepare Common Interview Questions

How to prepare for Interview ? Perhaps,this is a regular question asked by candidates selected in written tests conducted by banks & government organizations. Interview sessions are considered tough by many,as it involves speaking out.Here are some commonly asked questions in Interview & methods to answer them.

Question : Tell /Describe about yourself ( you will be asked this 90% )

Answer : Don't recite your resume.Tell about your education, experience, projects worked ,passion etc.,Make sure you complete this within 2-3mins.

Q: Why should we hire you into our organization

A : This would be perfect time to tell about your strengths,achievements & assets. Compare your profile with the job role & justify that you will be a best fit for the job. Answers like ‘This is a best company’ , ‘I want a job in this field’ wont impress the interviewer.posted at www.bankexamsindia.com

Q : What are your strengths & weakness ?

A: Again this is also a commonly asked question to test how much you know of yourself.Make sure the Strengths you say have some relation to the job you applied.

’I am very good in english’ can be said as ‘I have good communication skills’ .

Weakness - ‘I don't have any weakness’ means you are not ready to talk about it.Similarly don't say something like, ‘Im short tempered & get angry very soon’ – It gives an impression that you are not fit to work in group.Say something which does not affect the working & also describe about the steps taken to overcome that.

Q: Where do you see yourself after 5 years ?

A: This question would be asked to check how much you know about the career path.

‘After 5 years,I want to be in your seat’ wont work in any case.Think realistically, understand the growth opportunities of that job & put it across to them.

These are just few questions that can be asked during an Interview ,but the list is exhaustive.So be prepared to answer any question with confidence. Read the real experiences of candidates as they share with us on SBI Interview Questions

Writing a Good Resume – Easy to Follow Tips

Resume or Curriculum Vitae is the face of a candidate appearing for any job.This piece of paper has so much value that it can either push you to the top or drag you down.So,it is better to get professional advice in preparing resume for your first job.Here are some tips for drafting a good looking resume.

# Print the resume in a standard paper format.Employers often complain about the quality and neatness of the paper in which the resume is printed.The most commonly used & the best paper format is A4.

# Don't write descriptive notes and history of the job in resume.Make it precise & easy to understand as people get bored on reading lengthy resumes.

# Emphasize on the projects that you were a part of mentioning its strengths and how you helped the team.Add other skills that may be relevant for the job.

# Never show hate about your previous company in resume like - ”Although i helped the company in fetching the project,the manager was partial with me in not rewarding me” .Such words, only creates bad impression about you.

# Trying to create sympathy mentioning family problems,personal economic issues,health problems can never fetch a job call.Incase you quit the previous job for health reasons,discuss it during the interview.

# Avoid spelling mistakes & grammatical mistakes by using simple sentences.Employers term spelling mistakes as character of a careless person.

# Although bold,italics words can be used in resume,minimal usage is advised.Also avoid decorating the resume with different fonts, colors, sizes.

Finally,create a resume which gives a rough idea of your character and performance to the employer,be it for bank exams leading to bank jobs or for other jobs.
