* Admit your ignorance, if you are unable to answer a question. Apologize to the Board if you have spoken anything wrong, for as K.P.S Menon stated, "Ignorance is always excusable; and a candidate's confession of ignorance is commendable, but any attempt to cover up ignorance with pretended knowledge is reprehensible and will be easily found out…. In a candidate as a good servant, the chief virtue we expect is intellectual integrity".

Try to answer to the point only.
* At the end of the interview await the signal from the Chairman before getting up, thank him and the Board with a smile, walk out in a natural gait, and then close the door behind you gently.

INTERVIEW TIPS VOL 4 QUESTIONS GENERALLY EXPECTED

Five years ago, when asked to describe your management style, you could impress an interviewer by talking about using performance-management techniques, setting expectations, measuring feedback and rewarding performance - evidence that you knew how to manage. Now the situation is more complicated- and more urgent. In addition to showing that you're a capable leader, you must prove that you know how to encourage individuals to work together to accelerate problem-solving. In the past, team-building was recognized primarily for its ability to shape culture. However, given today's accelerated pace, you must show that you understand how to navigate in a complex environment, where how well you work with other parts of the organization is what ultimately produces results.

In the end, all interviewing boils down to one simple query, whether it's asked overtly or simply implied: "Will this person make the company a better place?" show that the answer is yes, and you'll ensure that you're the one who gets the nod.

Stay positive in all your answers. Promote your skills. Watch your body language. Interviewers are looking at body language while you are in an interview. If you are slouching, swinging your legs and playing with your hair, it will give the interviewer the feeling you are not a self-confident person. You always want to sit straight up, pay attention and make sure you are not doing any nervous gestures.


Questions Generally Expected in an Interview

Q1) Tell us something about yourself

* Your name
* Your educational qualification (name of the degree; name of university)

* Your father and his profession
* Your mother and her profession / homemaker
* Your younger brother / sister, elder brother / sister (just mention) and if you are the youngest talk about yourself in the end.


Q3) Why do you want to join a call center?

Don't
It was my childhood dream; never use statements like this. You can never plan your career in your childhood.
'To meet different people and not peoples'. They will get an impression that all you want to do is make lots of friends rather than being interested in the job.

Do's
You may say that the job gives you an opportunity to interact with people from all different walks of life and different parts of the world.

Say it enhances your career - it widens your horizons.

It gives you a chance to be directly involved with people and help them arrive in better shape

Q4) What is so special about you that you should be chosen for this job?

Don't
Never use statements like 'I' think I'm good' or I can do well

Never tell your shortcomings or weakness like being short tempered.

Do's
Always be positive in your approach
Always tell your strong points
Being confident
Doing your work with full dedication
Having faith in your abilities

TRANSFORMING YOUR PASSION

Do you know you can transform your passion into PROFIT? "YES,of course" if you believe in your ability of achieving this. However,it would be a dream in futility hoping to turn your PASSION TO PROFIT in a venture of your dream if you don`t START.
You have to START because talking alone without working towards realizing your dream is never enough.

Remember, anybody who hopes to build a thriving business has to start somewhere. The truth is that if you don`t start, you won`t start. Do away with the reasons why you cannot start and embrace reasons why you can start and create a business propelled by a burning passion to make a difference.

Don`t say "I DON`T HAVE THIS, I DON`T HAVE THAT"and so have it postponed. Understand that all you have now is what you need to start, and what you don`t have you don`t need. Starting is the first step towards attainment. You don`t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.


Some people complains of having no office hence, they won`t start.
"HAVING NO OFFICE? Start from you home",
"HAVING NO MONEY? Start with the little you have",
Find ways of giving your ideas wing to fly.

Never ignor the days of little beginnings, small beginnings are often the room that births great enterprises. You may start by offering your services for free. This one secret method most organizations apply by giving out some of their products to people for free. Doing this,telling people and giving a face to your services can also help to jump start your business.

Your starting small should not entail reveling in mediocrity. Excellence should be your driving force. One of the reasons the growth of some businesses are stunted is because the owners downplay the place of excellence and focus entirely on making profit. Strive to be worl-class in your service delivery. Every positive effort yields success, and to be successful, you have to give more and better service that is expected of you.

Pause, think and review your program-plans. Ask yourself what and what you need to apply. Learn new things to aid you achieving your goals. Don`t stop learning, because when you do, you start becoming lean in your business pursuit.

Your mind is a vital equipment for the attainment of your passion. Your dream is stunted in size and scope when the mind of the host is stunted in growth. START SOMETHING TODAY AND WATCH YOUR PASSION TURNS TO PROFIT.
