Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Long windedness has been proven to be one of the many reasons for applicants to be rejected based on the recent survey . By definition it means beating around the bush rather than dropping right upon the crux of the topic to be delivered. Avoiding long windedness would show your value for your own and the recruiters time . Coming to the questions , when asked about yourself , do not include details about your personal life until and unless asked for . That must only include your qualifications , your experiences , exposures and learnings which would make you suitable for the position being applied for……best of luck
