Gone are the days when interviews were a nightmare. It’s an era of perfect quotients and confidence levels. An employer looks for genuineness and something which is the edge and apparent to notice while interviewing candidates. In an era of mass campus interviews and a good amount of opportunities, the candidates are well equipped with their subjects and seamless knowledge on the different developments in their field and market players.
Do what you Love
Very precisely, it is that race where everyone is number one and it’s a common number now. You are expected to be different and better in terms of not just knowledge but your approach and attitude to confront interviews. To a great extent it is a very important and positive change that a candidate knows what he/she is good at and what profile he/she would like to pursue. Because loving what you do matters most in the end. Fascination for high salaries, good campus and great company and employees can’t alone make a great day unless you love what you do during the day.
Confidence is important but not just about the information you possess as a candidate, but the critical evaluation of your own self as to how you fit into the organization culture and job profile. Not just the employer, but the candidates have become choosy in terms of preferring their best fit job profiles.
