When an
interview of Candidates is going on, there are so many things happened. In
other way, it can be understood that some things are happened in favor of

described as follows:
POINT 1: Positive
Attitude

mind toward attending interview. There is no hesitation, fear and tension in
his/her mind. This is because he/she has to perform well in interview and these
problems do not help him/her to execute his/her skills in effective and
impressive way. He/she must believe himself/herself and practiced enough that
the chance of error/mistake may be eliminated. He/she must have a thought in
mind that whatever would happen at the time of interview must be good enough to
provide opportunity in him/her for improvement.
b) Interview is an area where no one is
perfect. Anyone can mistake in facing an interview. One positive thing he/she
must remember that this is not in his/her hand to get selected in any interview

c) Properly planned activity in such a way
that recruiter may ask next question to your own answer. This is achieved when
planning may be strategic. This is happened when recruiter asks more about your

confidently about your trainings/projects. Focus on training topic. Describe
these topics in detail with an appropriate industrial example.
d) Always display your weakness as strength.
When you are asked about weakness then tell recruiter that when you do work you
