Thank you for participating in the BM Seminar. We are sure that you noted your points and will follow them to get to your success.
We have additionally listed the below Takeaways for you as a quick reference: It is OK to be nervous before an Interview, being calm and composed before the Interview starts
will help you. Take deep breaths and visit the restroom before the interview.
Polished Shoes create a very good impression. Use the rest room to clean them if needed.
Your Phone should be switched off during the Interview.
Saying 'Yes' when asked for tea or coffee is OK if it will help you get refreshed.
Keep the Resume on the top in your folder for easy access. Carry additional copies of Resume.
Present your Resume in a respectful manner to interview panel.
Remember to come back to Power Pose while seated in the Interview.
Answering " I do not know this, as I have not come across this ever" is an acceptable answer.
While answering maintain eye contact with member who asked the question from the Interview
panel.
Smiling when a difficult question is asked will help answer better.
Wishing the panel members good day with confident handshake at the end is recommended. Wish you a good luck for the next Interview and successful career ahead. BM English Speaking http://www.bmconsultantsindia.com BM Consultants India +91 8080721515
