Don’t Just Prepare for the Interview; Prepare for the Job Itself!

 



Don’t Just Prepare for the Interview; Prepare for the Job Itself!


Most candidates treat the interview as a Q&A 

where the interviewer is asking questions 

and they answer to their satisfaction. 

So preparation for the interview 

revolves around preparing best 

answers to likely questions. 


But if you want to make a real 

difference to how the interview goes;

Walk in as if you already have the job.


- Don’t just study the job description; own it and live it.

- Think like an insider, not an outsider.

- Speak, act, and strategize like the professional they need.

- Focus on the Future and not your past experience alone. 


Interviews are not about ‘being yourself.’ 

They’re about also not just being the best version 

You should be THE Version what the company seeks.


Go beyond just preparing for questions. 

Prepare for responsibilities, challenges, 

and the stretch expectations of the role. 


Make them see you as a Long Term Leader

and not just a candidate for the role in hand.


So, when you walk in, 

you are not just answering;

You are demonstrating. 


And when they want to ask, 

"Why should we hire you?" 

… they already know why.

However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." - V for Vendetta

Mumbai Local - First Class v/s Second Class

Image
    It is an old joke that the difference in the first class and second class of the Mumbai local trains is that people in first class use deodorants and hence you are exempted from the smelly underarms while travelling. The mute point being; both class of travel experience a passenger overload during the peak hours and you are almost equally squeezed and pushed around in both. Of course, the seats in First Class are cushioned (unlike the hard seats of second class) but then that would make a difference only if you get to sit (which would be a likely probability only if you get into the train from the station it originates). My father holds a first class pass from Churchgate to Andheri (since past 7 years, ever since we moved to Andheri). He often travels by Second class in the evening. Strange, isn't it? This is why he does it … In the First class, there is an unwritten rule that on the seat, only the designated number of people (which is 3) will sit. No sq...
