COMMON INTERVIEW MISTAKES

These are 4 areas where most of the candidates fail to qualify an interview.. :-

1)Not knowing about youself and getting nervous: There will be 2 kind of fixed question in banking question. i.e. tell me something about yourself. Trust me! No one know you better than You do. So answer it as you feel confidently. And be prepare for more questions relating you and your background.

And another one will be why you choose baking sector? People finds the best answer for this question every where, but let me tell you, there isn't one. But there should be a good reason behind that. Follow your instincts, and make your own statement/reason which actually pushes you to join banking. Be youself!!
Be confident, dont get nervous, they are human beings, and trust me most of panel members are very friendly .

2) No knowledge about banking sector: With 1 lakh aspirants in race for 32453 clerk vacancies across 21 public sector banks is a heavy competition. Therefore it is important to showcase urself the best among others. This is how you can accomplish it.

• Memorise bank related terminologies like SLR,CRR,bank rate, infaltion, deflation etc etc.
• Go through banking awareness books u have read at the time of online exam once again.
• You can also surf net for banking updates.

3) Avoiding the general knowledge part: Occational newspaper reading alone will not help you gain general knowledge especially when news flow rapidly nowadays. Since there is no preset/fixed topic for interviews, questions can range from national, international to sports or business.

Stay updated with all the current news by following regular newspaper, TV news channel or internet, and note down the important headlines in a note pad and maintain that regularly.

Sometimes your interview can just be GK based. So u must be aware of some common facts about India, constitution , currencies and capitals of states and countries

4) Relying too much on others: Interview experiences are guiding tools which will help you to get an outline of the procedure. But dont expect to learn everything by glancing through shared interview experiences only.

Similarly over-reliance on books is also detrimental as it shall sound vague.Despite give your own answers making them realistic which interviewers love to hear.

ALL THE BEST FRIENDS , GIVE YOUR BEST SHOT.. GOOD LUCK !!
