When going into in interview, it's important to know what questions to expect and how to approach them. Preparation is key, which is why, as a career coach, I provide mock interviews and guidance for those looking to successfully navigate these crucial career moments.

Below are five common questions asked by hiring manager and how to prepare for them.

1. Tell me about your experience at Company X:- In other words, how does your past experience relate to the job the hiring manager is looking to fill? When answering this question, you want to convince the hiring manger that you can hit the ground running and bring value to the learn by providing specific example that resulted in successful outcomes. It's also helpful to identify how your current and prospective employers differ. This will help you determine which skills to emphasise.

2. What is your biggest professional accomplishment to date:- This is your opportunity to provide an example that shows you can do the job. Think about the skill detailed in the job description and which of your accomplishment most directly relate. The goal is to convey to the hiring manager not only your past successes but also what you capable of accomplishing is offered the job. 

  

3. What is your greatest weakness:- often dreaded by job candidates, they key to answering this question is to honest yet strategic. On my site, I go into more detail on new and effective ways to answer this question truthfully without taking yourself out of the running. You also need to address the unspoken follow up, which is the what you are doing to overcome your weakness. Ultimately, you want to show the hiring manager that you are self-aware, thoughtful and proactive about your strength and weakness.

HOW TO IMPROVE ENGLISH - COMMUNICATION SKILLS 

In today's day and age, having solid English skills is required. It's becoming the language of the world and all of us gotta keep. But if you've been learning for a while and don't find yourself really communicating with ease, how do you get around the learning slump? You'll need a bit of ingenuity and dedication, but luckily it's easier now more than ever. You ready to get started right know?

Find native English speakers

1. Find native English speakers:- In certain areas it's the hardest thing to do, but it's the best use of your time. Talking to actual native speakers is the most effective way to improve your English skills, speaking or otherwise. So whether you have to Skype them, call them, or beg them to speak to you, do so. Your progress will be faster this way than any other.

• Even if they're just tourists, invite them to dinner! They get a meal, you get an English lesson. Advertise on Craigslist. Take a class and get buddy-buddy with your teacher. Offer a language exchange. They're hiding out there somewhere!

Record Yourself

Record yourself:- Though we hear ourselves all the time, we really don't know quite what we sound like. So record yourself! What are the weak and strong points you hear in your speech? And then you can concentrate in what you need to work on.

Take Different style classes

Different style classes:- Yes, one class is good in fact, one class is even great. But if you can take more than one class of differing styles -- that's even better. A group class can be cheap, fun, and work on all your skills, but adding a one-a-one class, too? You'll get that individualised attention to your speech you've been craving. That's a double dose of improvement

Speak English at home

Speak English at home:- This is the biggest, and easiest mistake to make. You go about your day, you're one the job working partly in English, you go to you English class, and then you go home and revert back to your native tongue, While you may be making slow improvements, you'll never get past that dreaded lingual plateau. Make a point to speak it at home, too. Have only English at the dinner table.

Create opportunities

  

Create opportunities:- It's easy to look at your situation and think that you'll never be exposed to English naturally as much as you would like. Going abroad is expensive, you don't know any foreigners, etc. That's the lazy way of looking at it! English speakers are everywhere; sometimes they just have to be found and coaxed out of hiding. You have to come to them.

TIPS FOR PREPARATION OF GATE EXAMS

1. Gate Exam is not looking for any syllabus completion from the candidate. A good understanding of the basic concepts and their application is required. By understanding, it is simple that candidate is not supposed to just be able to mug up & explain but rather this exam needs candidate to have a feel/common sense.

5. Keep a check on your performance; it is compulsory to directly jump upon the previous GATE question on the topic you just finished. You can try to solve some example in model papers also.

6. Any problem can be tackled in number of ways. So being innovative and intuitive also helps to reach the correct option quickly. 

7. You should have done sufficient study/discussion, so that the moment you start reading the question you should have an intuition on whether you can solve it.

8. While preparing always keep your goal in thought and fancy being in the place like top institutes wherever you want to have admission. Always remember "You can get, if you really want". So positive mind is the key. 

9. In the last day of preparation, if you have any doubts about any topic/formula, you can have a look on the these sections. Always remember, more doubts lead to more concept building.
