One reason that you feel nervous is that you have no idea about what takes place in an interview, sure nowadays you have clips of interviews that you can watch thanks to platforms like Youtube and Facebook, but nothing really beats the real-time experience. You have an idea about the questions that they can ask but don\u2019t know the proper answers to them. You don\u2019t know what to wear, what to skip, what documents to carry and how to present yourself properly. You are not alone, these are some of the basic questions that run through the mind of every fresher.<\/p>\n

INTERVIEW IN RECENT TIMES<\/strong><\/p>\n

Like all the other aspects of human life, even job interviews have been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. So many people have lost their jobs and so many are facing trouble finding one. Thus, if you have got an opportunity to get one – do not waste it. Know that at a time where so many job seekers are there in the market, you have to stand out. Education and qualification matter- but not as much as the confidence that you have and the potential that you carry. Let it out and be the best possible version of yourself.<\/p>\n

Most of the interviews that are being held nowadays are \u2018virtual\u2019, meaning you don\u2019t have the opportunity to meet your interviewer face to face but through a medium, which further implies that a strong internet connection and \u2018the medium\u2019, preferably laptop or computer is a must.<\/p>\n

Moreover, since the interview is virtual, you don\u2019t get the time to adjust yourself or familiarise yourself with the surroundings. It is sudden. One second you are waiting for the interviewer and the next second, the interviewer suddenly pops up on your screen without giving you the time to take in. In contrast, when the interview is scheduled to take place face-to-face, you get a chance to settle in and brace yourself. It is you, who has to decide the place for the interview and make sure that it is noise-free and comfortable and even if it is a virtual interview, your clothing matters.<\/p>\n
