Dear Students/Professionals,

Based on my experience of evaluating 1000+ candidates for final selection in MNCs, let me share with you a smart technique to improve your chances of passing an entry-level interview (campus or off-campus recruitment) as a fresher.

Starting Off:

In most interviews, the first question is typically, "Tell me about yourself." This is a great opportunity for you to steer the direction of the interview. When responding to this question, it’s advisable to mention your final project at the end. For example, you can say:

"During my final year, I worked on the ABC project."

(Add 2-3 lines that will spark curiosity and make the interviewer eager to know more or evaluate your understanding of the project.)

Here are a few possible scenarios based on the interviewer's reaction:

Scenario 1:
Interviewer: The interviewer expresses interest in your project. This is a good sign as they’ll likely ask more technology-related questions. Keep in mind, the interviewer may not be familiar with your project, so explain it concisely and demonstrate your understanding.

Scenario 2:
Interviewer: The interviewer doesn’t show immediate interest. Don’t worry! They might bring it up later or ask related questions.

By mentioning your final project, you lay the foundation for discussing your technical skills and expertise.

To prepare for such situations:

I recommend creating a 2-4 page project document that you can review before the interview. The goal is to refresh your memory and ensure you’re ready to provide accurate, detailed information about your project.

Bouncer Ball:

Interviewer: What are your positive points?
Candidate: "I am hardworking, sincere, etc."

Interviewers ask this question to give you the chance to speak. But remember, the interviewer’s main goal is to ask the next question. Pay attention!

Interviewer: What are your negative points?
Candidate: "I am slow in working, short-tempered, etc."

When you share your negative points, the interviewer can easily assess them. This could become a deciding factor in whether you are selected or rejected.

Here’s how a good candidate handles this:

Good Candidate: "I am very strict about discipline."
Interviewer: Having discipline is a positive point! How is that a negative?
Good Candidate: "I like to follow discipline, but others may not, and they could become unhappy with me."

Companies value people who follow discipline, so this “negative” point actually becomes a positive!

Good Candidate: "Perseverance."
Interviewer: That’s a positive point.
Good Candidate: "Perseverance is positive, but if we don’t get the result, we keep trying, and that can waste time."

Companies need candidates who try their best to get results. So the interviewer sees this as a positive!
