Missing out Preparation

idea posted by Deepali Tandon MBA student, St. Joseph's College of Business Administration

Lack of preparation is the first and foremost thing students miss out. For example not being able to answer the question "What do you know about this company?" might just end your quest for employment, at least with this employer. Background information including company history, locations, divisions, and a mission statement are available in an "About Us" section on most company web sites. Review it ahead of time, then print it out and read it over just before your interview to refresh your memory.

That is correct Mr .Sharma. An individual need to know about himself and job responsibilities very well.

Otherwise also one is supposed to know about the company where he wants to work, the more u know about the company, better it serves for you.

You should be able to get more & more about the role in offer & what is expected from you & why you think u suit the profile best.

You should be honest in claiming the knowledge on the subject, just say you have no idea but for you it seems not a big preposition to get on with it in a short span, you can talk about the resembling area experiences you have had.

Some times looking overconfident does also lot of harm, be polite & reasonable in your attitude

Talk Too Much

idea posted by Namita Mishra BE student, Hindustan Inst of Engineering Technology Chennai

There is nothing much worse than interviewing someone who goes on and on and on... The interviewer really doesn't need to know your whole life story. Keep your answers succinct, to-the-point and focused and don't ramble - simply answer the question.

Too Much Talkings, Under & Over Confidance

idea posted by Sampanna Shastry Deputy Manager- Marketing & Sales, Arani Power Systems Ltd

Talking too much in Interview kills ones Image and makes a Bad impression.. this also depends on Profession Applied for... so during interview one need to KISS ( Keep it Short and Simple)........

Confidence has to be replicated rightly through Body language and Tone of talking etc.......

Don't try to show yourself different than as usual

idea posted by Manmath Patil Marketing executive

Many time candidate may try to show something different like...

    Non talkative person will try he is "talkative"

    Will try to show professionalism more in him

 

So these things may go wrong sometime if you are trying something new then it should not be in the time of your examination, means in interview interviewer will judge you how you behave how you interact and if you are doing this first time obliviously you will be confused.

So, my suggestion for my self and my friend don't do anything different which you are doing first time. Mean observe yourself first and if you like then it will match with entire world.

getting late for interview.

idea posted by Dinesh MBA/PGDM student, PROTON bschool, ahmd.Gujarat
I believe this is the first n foremost reason for failure in Interviews because the very moment you become late for interview you tend to lose your cool and become impatient and nervous and then you lose your confidence also.

Agreeing with you but the debate states about market planing and advertisement is a part of it. The question seems to be very open so try to narrow down the question.
