Go for a mock exercise before the real talk at the job table
.........................
ICE BREAKER
(1) Tell us about
yourself .
Briefly run through your qualifications and your career in a logical
progression.
(2) Tell us about your
family background.
The answer again should as brief as your earlier reply. Emphasise personal
facts if they help build your profile.
(3) What do you know
about our company?
Do not give your opinions about the company. Stick to reported facts that you
have gathered from newspapers and so on. Talk about the product portfolio, size,
income, and market perceptions of the company.
(4) Your
qualifications are excellent, but you may be overqualified for the position
we have to offer.
Point out that more experience can never be a drawback. If you are
multi-skilled, then highlight the fact that a company on the fast-track needs
multi-skilled people. It needs people within different departments to work
together. Also emphasise that the company's future growth will be an
exponential function of your experience.
(5) Why should we
choose you over someone else?
Talk clearly about problems that you have solved in your current workplace
and highlight the quality required. For instance, say how by putting systems
or buffers in place, you were able to deal with infrastructural problems and
reduce inventory pile-up by 40 per cent
