Personal interviews are well known for the nervy moments they have on the aspiring candidates, whether it is an Army, Air Force or Navy interviews.They’re also the final obstacle in your avenue to reach the pinnacle of success. Once subdued, you invariably attain the cloud nine moments.

Personal interview is one of the oldest tools for assessing someone verbally, they have been existed since the existence of professional competitive jobs. Many legends have told us about how various Monarchs in the past who have employed various noble techniques to assess aspiring candidates for various positions of nobility. Again as it has been said before, this maybe the last step to fulfill your candidature, you must make it imperative to give in your best as mostly there are no second chances given to delve upon. These points will help you to make sure all the technicalities and logistics are taken care of.

• Irrespective of the interview type make an infallible effort to turn up in best possible attire, always formals for both sexes. Males must be perfectly groomed and trimmed whereas females chic.
• Punctuality makes the foremost impression on the interviewer's psyche, which is always positive. To sum it up, be on time.
• Patience is an important virtue, mostly missing in majority today. You need to be patient as on many occasions you may end up spending marathon hours before you’re interviewed. Idea is not lose your focus.
• Please perform an elaborate research on the organization i.e. Army, IAF or Navy which will interview you, a day or two prior to the aforesaid date. It makes no sense for you landing up at the interview without having the key details of the organization. The interviewer may grant an extra grade for the sincerity and dedication displayed.
• Similarly, study the organization of Services well, and if possible enact a role play to see whether you are fit enough for taking up that role. Important is not assume too many things, because a job not suited to your profile will end decrementing your career trajectory.
• Now that you’ve accomplished the aforementioned, you are set to face the interview.
• Make sure you remain calm and focused throughout the process. You must carry documents as a proof to stake your claims made on your resume. You must present them, in case you’re asked to do so.
• Listen, yes listen to the interviewer carefully, and then give a moment of thought, assuming that you’ve perceived the question well try to analyse what the interviewer has spoken, make a structure of the answer you want to say. Now that the structure is ready in your head you need to articulate the answer in a comprehensive manner, replying to all the questions put by the interviewer.
• Try to answer in the same sequence as the questions posed and avoid missing out any. Therefore you must think before you speak and always remember the process ASA, where A stands for analyzing, S for structure and A for articulation.
• Posture is also important; therefore one must avoid crossing your legs, putting your hands on the table. If possible sit in an upright posture, unless asked to relax.
• Smile but don’t overdo it during the process.
• Always exchange the pleasantries when entering and also leaving the room.

As the case maybe, you may have more than one round of personal interview, on most occasions especially for a technical positions you may have one generic, often called HR round the other being a technical round. But now in the SSBs both the rounds are encapsulated into one. Though the contexts of both the interviews are different but the crux and the process remains the same. Make sure you follow the above process judiciously, if these points are taken care of, the onus then lies with you to convert it. If possible and if time permits, have a demo interview with your friend to test your preparations and what you’re lacking.

All the Best!
