Students who are in the second year of their PGDM are likely to have come across these questions. While preparing for the placement time does sound overwhelming to many, they can ace it by starting in advance.

Top PGDM colleges ensure that no stone is left unturned to prepare for this day, I Business Institute has put simple tips and tricks that will help students to prepare for PGDM campus placement. These preparations are divided into two parts:

A. Pre-interview

B. During the interview.

Let’s get started.

Pre-interview

Make an Effective Resume

The number one thing that stands out with an Effective Resume, recruiters are very particular when it comes to the contents of a resume. So, ensure a page that includes concise information about education, skills, certifications, and work experience.

Go over your Basics

Another thing is brushing up on your basics, before a face-to-face interview companies often schedule an aptitude test round to select a pool of prospective applicants. The objective of this round is to determine whether your problem-solving skills, pressure handling skills, etc. are good or not.

Prepare Basic FAQs

Before going for an interview always prepare for some basic FAQs. In every interview, there will be some common questions. You can prepare a list of such interview questions, including technical and non-technical, and prepare your own answers. Some of the non-technical ones include:

• Introduce yourself
• Describe yourself using three words
• What motivates you?
• What are your Strengths/ Weaknesses?
• Where do you see yourself in the next five years?
• Are you a team player?
• Why should we hire you?

Work on your group discussion skills

Simply like the aptitude round, you are to be part of a group discussion as well. Here, the recruiter wants to assess how well you communicate, listen, convey your thoughts, and find out if you are well-versed in the topic.

Again, to perform nicely in this round, you need to rehearse day in and day out. Call your friends, make one of them the judge, and decide on a topic. Always focus on:

• Being a good listener
• Speaking clearly and to the point
• Being confident while speaking
• Connect to the current scenario
• Work on Your Soft Skills

During the Interview

Punctuality Counts

Did you know that being late for an interview shows you are not serious about the interview and do not value others’ time? Never try to create a negative impression on the interviewer.

Probably they have scheduled aptitude tests, group discussion, or even a personal interview, make sure you reach the venue at least 30 minutes in advance.

Ace the Personal Interview

Now your hard work will pay off, this is the make-it-or-break-it point of your interview. Your resume, common questions you prepared for, domain knowledge, and interpersonal skills will now be put under strict scrutiny.

Now, is the time to show your interviewers all you have learned in top PGDM colleges, and show that you are ready for that role or internship.

Stay calm – Keep Good Body Language & Eye Contact

During your face-to-face interview, make sure you listen to the questions carefully and think constructively and answer. Now this time recruiter is not to judge how fast you can answer but the quality of your answers.

Convert internships to placement offers

If you are signing up for an internship in a corporate to your desired profile, you might have thought, “how to turn this into a full-time job?” The only way to do this is by put your head into the table and work smartly. If you are a smart and dedicated worker, your employer will definitely recognize it. And you can stay in touch with the recruiter, build a network, and establish trust. If the company does not have an open position for you right now, it will contact you whenever a relevant job role comes up.
