Walk-In Interviews are Tedious because of large number
of Interviewees. So, Keep in Mind the Following Things for Successful
Walk-in Interview:
-
Reach early because generally it is done on first come first interviewed
bases. If time is 9.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m., reach by 8.00 p.m. You
will have to wait little, Interviewer will be fresh and will remember
you better. In the late hours because of fatique may miss the good
candidates.
- All the credentials, they check.
-
Your medical (height and weight) is done to check your body statistics
fall within the specified limits. Before going for an interview
or writing your resume, get your height and weight checked from
2 locations/places, otherwise if any mistake is found, you may burst
into tears and Interviewers won’t sympathise with you.
-
When sent inside for the interview, most of the time 4 –
5 candidates are sent together. Sit after you are asked to sit or
seek their permission to sit. Do not grab the first available chair.
Remember to walk looking TALL. First impression counts. Look friendly,
not nervous or grim. Remember to sit properly, means legs and feet
together.
-
When asked to speak about you speak about YOU only, in the allotted
time. Convey them you are dependable, flexible and have lots of
patience. If you worked or volunteered in any service industry or
hosted any function. Highlight that, tell them how you enjoy meeting
people, tell them you can work for longer hours (give example),
tell them you enjoy get-togethers, tell them you take care and enjoy
taking care of your brothers, sisters and grand parents. Give examples
of your tolerance and patience. The interviewer will not be able
to pull out all these informations from you. It is upto you to let
them know, through examples, every thing about YOU.
-
No one wants to hear about your family tree. They want to know
YOU.
- Prepare, Prepare and Prepare.
-
If interviewer is writng something, do not lean to read, you will
become more nervous.
- Clear the first round by good appearance, good talk, good walk
and SMILE.
-
In the waiting hall, some time, their staff can be there, mixing
with you as interviewees to judge you. Do not speak bad about company,
arrangements, infra structure or don’t gossip there. Your
behaviour there can be judged also.
-
Before going to interviews, surf their website and know maximum
about company, key persons and related information and prepare how
you will perform well there.
-
At the end your medical checkup will be conducted by company doctor.
Be fare and truthful always.
GOOD LUCK !
