Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - It's just a sales role that too telesales. Your title would be admission counselor but sales target would be there. They would say it's 5 days working but they would generate a roaster and say it is 6 this week and that week. You would be getting leads and then calling 300-400 leads and you would get a counselling of 1-2 depending on your skills and then you have to call them on video session and pitch the best suited things for him/her. And then further process is done accordingly it's totally a sales job make your mind before you enter targets are there. Work environment is also not that good. But from learning prospect you need to put your own efforts to learn no one is gonna tell you . Training is also just for a formality. If you have a keen interest in sales then only you should join .
