Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Other Interview
Experience: So the call came at 8 in the morning. Important note again, the call can come anytime on a predefined date, so be prepared with all your documents, a pen and a few A4 sheets, calculator and calendar. Note down the name of the person calling you. Forgetting the name of your interviewer is a bad sign and it’s not rare to happen as the call may prolong to over an hour, mine being around 75 odd minutes. The interviewer generally decides the layout of the interview so stick to it. Also the interviewer is a HR personnel and he/she will be jotting down each and everything you’ll be saying so think before you speak. At times it may happen that you may be saying something but there will be no response from the interviewer, don’t panic. He/she may be busy writing down your sayings so don’t pause. If it’s awkwardly long, then you can stop and ask for a response.
First fifteen minutes will be the settling time, you’ll be answering questions related to you which won’t be judged, so calm down, relax and have a normal conversation with the interviewer. The next half an hour/45 min will be the one on which they will ask questions related to your work, your achievements and your experiences which will be judged and
noted. The last 15 min will be a general topic will be given to you and your views will be asked about on the topic. Remember, no one is omniscient. So if you don’t know about the topic, you can obviously ask the interviewer to give a general idea on the topic. DON’T GOOGLE. The interviewers are trained people who know when you are reading and saying the answer. It’s better if you give your perspective and the process you take to know and speak about the new topics is better as it will show how you learn as well as give YOUR idea on the topic.
The interview is generally HR based so technical knowledge is not required but it doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t know about your projects. Review your projects, know the nittygritty of your work and describe it in such a way that the person on the other end can understand, appreciate and indulge himself/herself in the talk.
Tips: Once my resume was over, I got a notification from Shell that I will be judged over a telephonic interview. Again an important notice, telephonic interviews are not that easy and simple, as they seem to be. Also in my case it was tough as I was competing against 17 other equally qualified people for one or two positions. Here your knowledge about the company, its background, its requirements come into picture. You should be able to tell why you are better than the others without criticizing them, in fact by showing your true skills in a positive manner.
General Tips: The Preparation:
Since the start, I was reading about the companies coming at IITK, reading about their work, their new challenges, the opportunities that I would have with them. Shell, of all companies, captivated me the most. I came to know about the Gourami challenge from the seniors selected and since I was in dual degree, it also gave me the time to prepare for it.
There are three modes of recruitment in Shell namely (1) Internships (2) Gourami Business Challenge and (3) SRD (Shell Recruitment Day). The most enchanting one as I felt was the 2nd one. But all play and no work makes Jack stupid. So prepare hard, it’s a single opportunity of your lifetime.
First of all, you should work on your resume; it’s your first impression. Prepare a master resume and as many companies have their own format, try to fit into their requirements. Don’t overindulge in various activities if you can’t handle studies with extra curriculars. A good CPI shows your determination towards your academics, which is by far the most important thing in the campus. But two different students with almost same CPI are differentiated on the basis of extra curriculars and internships. So these things are not unimportant.So, resume is a very important part of the application. It should show your abilities to their full extent. Not to mention, it is you telling about yourself in absence. Add your strong points, make it delightful to read, use simple plain English so that a non-technical person is also able to understand. FYI the resumes are generally short listed by HR members so you have to make them understand your skills. Don’t repeat your stuffs, sort out and order your important achievements as per the requirements.
