I have tried to list the most common issues I have seen during my career as HR and the most easily avoidable ones. Everyone knows about them and Everyone forgets about them just before the interview... 1. Personal Hygiene ndash I have been part of an interview in which my mind was more on the bad odor from the guys socks and body than on what he was trying to impress me with. Well, the interview didn39t go very well for him, I rejected his candidature. Till date, sometimes I think, maybe I was not fair, but then it was impossible to concentrate on what he was saying. I am not sure if I was right or wrong, but one thing for sure, it is a very bad idea to repulse your interviewers with body odor. The least anyone can do is to take a shower and put on some deodorant before an interview. 2. Know you Resume ndash I have often seen that the candidates were not even aware of their own resume, forget about knowing the company they have come for interview in. there are numerous examples I have for this, some of them left me wondering if the resume belonged to someone else, for sure, portions of it did belong to lsquofriendrsquos resumersquo. Most common lsquoCtr Crsquo lsquoCtr Vrsquo have been in the areas of Technical skills, I have seen similar, if not same, Career Objectives, Projects, even clientshellip and the list goes on. This is what I suggest, though fancy buzz words may get you till the interview, but they also set you up a failure. You should only put things that you know and you can lsquocarryrsquo in your resume and also make sure that you remember what you have said in it. The moment you contradict with your resume, you loose credibility and hence the opportunity. So, Watch out what you write and Know what you have written 3. Know your Prospective Employer ndash In my 23 years as HR, I have interviewed numerous candidates and one thing that always impressed me about a candidate was his grasp on lsquoourrsquo business and knowledge about a job profile he/she is being interviewed for. Even when I knew that this person has no hands on knowledge of the jobtalking about freshers in campus hiring, but it did tell me that this person has taken pains to know about the company profile before he walked into the interview. It is important that when you walk into an interview, you should know about the company you have come to for interview, the post that you will be interviewed for and the associated responsibilities. This will give you a good understanding of what id expected out of you to fulfill the role and what are the personality traits the interviewer will be looking for, both as Positive as Negative. Find out as much as you can about the company and the job profile and get your positioning and strategy right.
