Well, so are you straight out of college and looking for a job? And probably you have an interview lined up.

In this lesson today, we are gonna help you with some tips that would ace up your job interview.

Now you have finished your education and you are heading towards a new phase of life, so you really don't wanna goof up.

So freshers, here are some tips that would help you

to answer the most common questions that are asked in an interview.

The first common question that's asked in an interview is, Tell me about yourself?

Now remember people, the person who is asking you this question is not someone you met at a coffe shop.

So things like, I love being on Facebook or I had three girlfriends in

my college days is not the right thing to mention. The important things that you need

to mention is your education background, then your family background. Like I live with my

parents and I have two siblings, but don't get into much detail or probably you can talk

about your personality traits. And also you can talk about the things that you like to

do in your free time. So these are the things that you need to include, when this question is put forward.

The second common question that's asked is, Why should we hire you?

Well, here the person is asking you this question, because he wants to know, if you're really serious

about this job or probably you're just here, because you are jobless or you're here,

because you wanna make some quick money to buy a smart phone. So if you're really serious

about this job. The things that you need to mention are about your skills and your abilities.

And also back it up with some examples. Now remember a company would only hire you, if you add value to their organization.

So the skills that would be helpful to this kind

of a job that you have applied for would be perfect to mention to the interviewer,

so go ahead talk about your abilities and talk about your skills.

The third common question that, you would come across is talk about your strengths,

so whether you are a fresher or probably, you are just going for another interview.

This question has to come. So you need to be prepared well in advance. What you need

to do is list your strengths and back it up with some examples. For example, if you have

to talk about your leadership qualities, then what you can do is, you can say that I was

leading a big presentation in my college. And the presentation did extremely well and

you received a lot of kudos. So this would talk about your leadership qualities.

Another skill that you can talk about is your punctuality. Well, yes of course that's a strength.

Now again back it up with an example. You can mention that you used to submit all your projects

and your assignments way before the deadline date. So again this talks about your punctuality.

And then there are certain skills that you can talk about, like how hard working

you are or you can grasp things real quickly and please mention examples to it.

So this is the way, you will talk about your strengths.

Fourth common question that a fresher would come across is, Are you planning for your

future studies? Well, it's important to mention, if you are, you need to handle this

question very tactfully. Because here the company wants to know, if you are taking up

this job for good or are you just using their training resources and then saying good bye to them.

So if you are pursuing studies, then please do mention and give a reason to it.

And if you're doing some distance education or probably, you're doing a part time course,

then please do mention it in an interview. The reason because, if you get this job, then

you might have to apply for leaves, when you have your exams. So do not lie and go ahead

and tell them, if you are pursuing future studies.

The fifth and the last question that I have for you is, So what do you know about our company?

If you have a job interview lined up, don't just wakeup in the morning and

get all dressed up and then go for the interview. Would not make any sense. You need to be prepared

for this interview, so when you know, what company you are going to for the interview.

Use your search tools on the internet or go ahead and look at the company's website.

Learn and understand what the company is into? What products they make or who are their clients

and so on? These details will be helpful to you. Then when you go for an interview, you

are well prepared and you know what the company is into. And of course, you will be able to

talk much better, when you are confident about what the company is into.

This brings me to the end of this lesson; make sure you practice all your answers before

you go for an interview. And don't just go boast yourself that how good you are as

you like have the best skills ever. Well, just tell the facts and don't lie and also

please follow these tips, so that you ace the next job interview that you are going

for. Thank you for watching this video, I'll be back with a new lesson soon. Until then

you take care and all the very best...
