Some tips & tricks to keep in mind from the very first day are the following:
- Make yourself presentable: Everything is for the final day of the interview. An interview starts from the moment you enter the room. The way you present yourself, your body language speaks a lot about you. The only way to ace the game of well-groomed personality is practice. Work on yourself, stay groomed and make yourself comfortable while wearing formals.
- Enhance your skills: For most companies, the first step of selection and mass elimination is a general aptitude test. You can master neither aptitude nor general knowledge overnight. So keep on practicing aptitude under a time limit. Along with aptitude, keep polishing your communication and enrich it with vocabulary. As an MBA graduate, you must know that effective communication is the key to success.
- Academics: MBA will grind with continuous projects, hands-on training, certification courses but under the co-curricular burden don’t compromise with your academics. Academics i.e your technical skills go hand-in-hand with aptitude and communication.
- Get your certificates: There are several certification courses you could pick, either online or offline, free or paid. Choose the courses which go with the specialisation your dream company demands of and start burning your night oil to complete the courses and get your certificates. Make sure to be conceptually sound as you can get any sort of questions from the interviewers’ side related to your certificates. Certifications not only count courses, but certificates are also available from projects and internships which add high value to your CV.
- Keep updating your CV: Invest an ample amount of time while preparing your basic CV and then keep updating it. This is what most interviewers will have questions about. Make sure to be completely honest while preparing the CV. Any topics you aren’t confident about don’t add in the CV.
The all-over integration of your academics, certificates, experiences, co-curricular and extra co-curricular activities will give you the perfect push to crack any job interview either on- or off-campus.
