An interview is the most important aspect for a prospective job applicant.
Well, you have been studying hard all these years to gain the knowledge you desired and now it’s time to showcase your skills to the world. You must have searched hard enough to find the best possible job and one fine day you start getting calls & emails for an interview.
Wow, that’s great! But please pause and ask yourself three important questions.
1. Am I really prepared to face the interview?
2. What will be the questions and how will I answer them?
3. I appeared in an interview, but did not get the offer. Where did I miss?
Following are the 3 key areas required for a successful interview:
1. Communication Skills:
2. Soft-Skills &
3. Self Confidence.
Let’s analyse these points one-by one to understand their importance.
Communication Skills: Communication is an integral part of our daily life. Every one communicates in one way or the other, be it with friends, family, colleagues, seniors or an may be an unknown person. Communication is the process by which we transmit and receive messages. Communication can be either verbal or non-verbal but the outcome should be effective and understood between the person/s involved in the process.
Soft-Skills: Commonly known as Life Skills which includes Leadership skills, critical thinking, problem solving skills, empathy, professional writing, working in a team, public speaking skills and so on. The combination of these skills is the key to success in every profession.
Self-Confidence: Is all about believing in yourself. Setting realistic targets, having defined goals, keeping a positive view about yourself and of course the ability to face criticism as well.
Based on the above, please perform a SAT (Self Analysis Test) to know your SAT-Score and where exactly you stand. The SAT is measured on a 1-10 scale and ideally a SAT score of 7 and above is considered good.
If you’re SAT Score is less than or equal to 6, you need to take professional guidance.

Resilience Resilience is not only needed in the business wor.docxaudeleypearl
Resilience
Resilience is not only needed in the business world but in all areas of life. In “Developing Resilience—The
Most Important Soft Skills for Hard Times, Maree Harris, Phd. (n.d.) states, “Resilience is usually
associated with the ability to bounce back up after being knocked down, with responding positively and
proactively to any adversity”. In order to cultivate resilience, individuals must also possess or develop a
variety of other soft skills. Resilient people are able to see the worst tragedies and failures as challenges
to overcome and are able to use a growth mindset to overcome them. They are able to keep a positive
attitude about the situation and are able to see failure as lessons.
We often see those that we most admire as having resilience. For example, according to The
Academy of Achievement (n.d.), Oprah Winfrey overcame a childhood of poverty, abuse and racism, as
well as numerous career setbacks. Many individuals experience any one of Winfrey’s challenges but
because she possessed and continued to develop her resilience, she became the most successful black
woman in modern history. Those in the business world can learn from Winfrey and others like her that
they must find ways to come back from even the cruelest setback. Resilience is key in all areas of career
success, for job seekers as well as those looking to advance in their organization.
A resilient job seeker gains strength from receiving a rejection letter. They will use the information given
by the potential employer as a learning tool for the next application process and interview. They are able
to “bounce back” by seeing the experience as informative and strengthening, rather than defeating. In
“Resilience--Fall Seven Times, Stand up Eight,” Lei Han (n.d.) writes, “More than half of the battle in a job
search is actually the emotional aspect--thinking positive, staying in action, and ‘standing up’ when you
feel ‘knocked down’ by the lack of results”. Not getting hired by employers whom one wishes to work for
may cause one to question one’s own abilities and qualifications an/or perhaps how one is presenting
these abilities and qualifications, but a resilient individual will use that questioning process to return to the
job market as a stronger, more aware candidate A resilient job seeker will use each rejection as an
opportunity to build his or her “brand”.
When an individual finally does get hired by an organization, he or she must demonstrate resilience in
order to be successful in their career in that organization and beyond. In an advertising agency , for
example, an employee may be given a new client and may spend days developing an ad campaign only
to have the client reject the campaign or only to find that the campaign failed miserably. In this case, the
employee must be highly resilient must immediately begin redesigning the campaign so as to keep this
client’s business and to show their supervisor that they can ...
Good Personal communication Skills also helps an individual to deal with difficult situations like dealing with aggression and communicating in difficult situations
This document proposes a mathematical model to help students predict their chances of getting jobs and help companies develop standardized hiring criteria.
The model considers factors like a student's technical and non-technical skills, performance in the recruitment process stages like application, evaluation and assessment, their performance on interviews and tests, and HR evaluation of soft skills.
It provides an example of how the model can be applied to calculate scores for two students applying for a web developer role, showing how the student with stronger non-technical skills may fare better despite less technical knowledge, as the company emphasizes both technical and non-technical criteria.
The document discusses best practices for conducting effective job interviews. It emphasizes that interviewing is both an art and a science that requires preparation, consistent process, and avoiding bias.
