Campus To Corporate - 'Facing Interview'

You are a new graduate with an admirable degree and you have set your heart on life as a corporate employee.. Unhappily, large obstacles lie in your way. No business degrees as yet address the art of consultancy; since you are fresh from campus, no one in the business world has experienced your rare skills. Most importantly, you are young  and have to face many challenges in life, be it a job interview or entering the corporate world at the managerial post.


The corporate sectors believe in performance.When a student is going to attend any campus to get selected for job, he or she must keep in his or her mind that the corporate sectors are full of challenges. Work pressure is inevitable. Hence, one must learn about how to be adjustable in such situations. During the academic sessions, the qualities like team-spirit, punctuality, creative bent of mind and the last but not the least honesty must be cultivated in order to lead the corporate world. Appropriate dress code is also a matter of fact. But before all this, facing interviews could be an anxious process but it can also be a great learning experience.


First Impressions are critical when entering a room for an interview. You should try to find out the answers to some questions like do you feel excited or reticent, which areas of your interview style need changes,you speak slow or fast and what style of dressing you prefer?

Be careful to match your style of dress to that of your interviewer, industry and region.

If you prefer to dress formally, you will probably feel more comfortable and confident. Your speech pattern should be well paced, not too fast and not too slow. Avoid fillers like 'you know'

'kind of' and always do a complete research  of the company before you go for the interview.
