We all have been in this phase of job searching. The stressful and hectic time phase that just does not get over. It is like an infinite loop. That keeps us haunting until we get a job. It has a process that is really long and very critical. And I will explain to you through this process not leaving any single detail.

But have you thought why do we need to follow a proper process to land a job? Can’t the interviewer just give me the job just because I am asking? Well, this has happened to everyone sitting across from the interviewer going completely blank. I will tell you all the important things I have felt during an interview.

Well, an interview is a sales place. where the customer is the interviewer and you are the product. You need sale yourself that hard that the interviewer can’t resist hiring you. So how would you sell yourself? It is very simple just follow the steps and you will be good to go.

1) Have a creative resume.

Your resume is the brochure that you share containing all the information about you. If your brochure is ugly the customer will throw it in the dustbin. That’s what happens to most of the resume they are literally thrown away. The interviewer will only look at the resume for only 5–7 seconds. That’s why it has to be as attractive and eye-catchy a resume can be. For making such a resume ask for the help of experts in making a resume. These experts play with the psychology of the interviewer. This the expert that I hired for my resume. You can look for others as well but my point will be, have a creative resume.

2) Apply at a position that you are confident to do.

Now you have got a nice and creative resume. Now what? It is like you have a gun but without bullets. what will that be? Yes! correct it will be useless. So make sure you fire your bullets properly. Don’t apply everywhere you can. Spend your bullets wisely. Apply only for the position that you are confident to do. Applying everywhere will just result in more rejection and that will make you feel low. Want some help then visit them they provide services of resume blasting. Your resume will only be sent to an employer looking for someone like you.

3) Dress like you own the company.

There is nothing wrong with dressing like a CEO. All it shows is how well-groomed you are and the clothes that you wear make your first impression. So yes do overdress but don’t be informal in dressing. The clothes that you wear will determine how much the interviewer will respect you. This one tip not only boosts your confidence but it somehow demotivates or makes others feel inferior. You will own the interview.

4) Have proper body language.

Having proper body language will give you a confidence boost as well as makes you feel like you own the room. It also shows how composed a human being you are. 70% of communication is done through body language. Show the people that say that they lack communication skill that does not mean verbal skill. Verbal language has only 5% of the total communication that we do. So focus more on the body language, gestures, and expressions that you make.

5) Be confident, not overconfident

Well the best example of confident and overconfident is

confident:- I can do this

Overconfident:- Only I can do this

So always be confident, not overconfident. Every person likes a confident person. Confidence is something behind which you can hide your insecurities and move forward.

6) Don’t just blabber, Answer the question.

Whenever the interviewer asks anything strange, we become blank and blabber out things that come first in our mind. So, in a situation like this maintain your composure and Ask them to repeat the question or repeat it yourself and ask if you heard it right. By this time you can already have an answer in your mind than just say the answer calmly.

7) After you interview, ask the interviewer.

After your interview, ask your interviewer that when should I expect your call or should I not expect a call. This question always helps us make decisions about that should we wait for the company or move forward.

Well, this is just a glimpse. A more detailed article in the next story.
