Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Be clear about what you want to gain from a role—whether it's deep learning, exposure, leadership development, or stability—and choose accordingly. If you're looking to build strong ground-level experience, develop resilience, and handle high-impact projects early in your career, roles in core operations or CSR at companies like BALCO can be invaluable. However, go in with your eyes open: assess the work-life balance, the location's lifestyle, health factors, and long-term career pathways. Be proactive in seeking learning, but also firm in setting boundaries to protect your wellbeing. Lastly, stay humble, stay curious—and don’t underestimate the power of learning from tough environments.

Why are women still asked such personal questions in interview?
I recently went for an interview… and honestly, m still trying to process what just happened. Instead of being asked about my skills, experience, or how I could add value to the company… the questions took a totally unexpected turn. The interviewer started asking things like When are you getting married? Are you engaged? And m sure, if I had said I was married, the next question would’ve been How long have you been married? What does my personal life have to do with the job m applying for? This is where I felt the gender discrimination hit hard. These types of questions are so casually thrown at women during interviews but are they ever asked to men? No one asks male candidates if they’re planning a wedding or how old their kids are. So why is it okay to ask women? Can we please stop normalising this kind of behaviour in interviews? Our careers shouldn’t be judged by our relationship status. Period.
