Have you lost your job during the COVID-19 pandemic and searching for a job?
For many years, I have met many people who find it stressful when they lose their jobs and then multiple rejections during the job hunt break their confidence.
The interviewers get many profiles for a single position and shortlist the candidate(s) who match their requirements the best. There could be multiple reasons for shortlisting or ignoring/rejecting a candidate.
Consider the following key notes which I think will make you confident:
- Always read the job description and explore about the employer before you appear for an interview.
- Make yourself comfortable during the interview.
- Always consider the interview as a discussion between the prospective employer and you about how can you best fit to their requirements and vice-versa.
- Be attentive to the panelist and don’t respond in hurry.
- Response to a question or given scenario should reflect your skills and experience.
- Positively explain if you lack somewhere or need to learn something which the position demands.
- Consider an interview as an opportunity and leave a positive impression by making it an engaging interaction.
- Never hesitate to ask if you have any doubts or queries about the role or responsibilities.
- Never feel demotivated or depressed if you don’t receive a positive response or any response at all.
- Never stop searching for a job until you find the right job and employer.
- Never depend on a person for a referral.
- Believe in yourself and only your talent can get you a job.
REMEMBER that your thoughts can make you a WINNER or a LOSER.

4 年Yes, Interviews are bi-directional conversation. Nobody is giving you a job, organizations want Good Employees as much as each one of us want good employers. If an employer is asking where do you see yourself in five years, or why should I hire you, then as a prospective employee we should consider asking - Why should I join your team/organization? It's not an illegal question, don't worry about it. Do not rate yourself 10 if you are not a 10er. I see a lot of experienced 10+ year Python, Java folks giving themselves 6-8 and 1-3 years giving 9-10. I am not saying it's not possible, it's just that, once you give yourself 10, you can't claim that interviewer is being hard on you.
