Are you in your final semester and tensed about getting placed in a job after graduation? A number of organizations visit campuses of colleges to recruit candidates for the entry-level positions in their company. If you are one of the lucky ones, you might end up grabbing an excellent job with attractive salary.

Getting anxious during interviews is quite natural and the best way to ease stress is to practice and prepare for the interview earlier. Here a few tips to help you prepare for the interview and come off with flying colors.

Learn about the nature/category of the Campus-Interview:

Companies conducting interviews are of two categories:

• Companies looking for candidates to fill specific positions in their organizations
• Those who just collect the resumes

So, it is necessary to probe the nature of the campus interview. You can ask the recruiters directly if they are recruiting for any specific vacancies. You can then decide on the level of efforts to put in. Usually, big companies are more likely to collect the resumes for their database.

Know about the company:

Spend some time browsing their official website to know about the company. If it is a public sector, collect the recent news regarding the company. The interviewer will expect the aspirant to know the basics of the company, if not in detail. It would be a big turn off for the interviewer when someone walks in without any knowledge about the organization.

Be Energetic

Companies usually look for energetic candidates. You should be able to talk about yourself and your passion for the job. This will create an impression that you are interested in taking up the job.

Behavioral Questions

Behavioral questions are commonly asked during mid-level interviews. However, today these questions are even asked during campus interviews. Preparation plays an important role in handling such type of questions. An example for behavioral question is: How will you deal a particular situation in college?

Watch Videos:

Watch videos uploaded on some of the websites to know about the etiquette in attending a campus interview. They provide useful tips on:

• How to dress
• How to answer the questions asked by the interviewer
• Gestures
• Body language etc.

Other important tips

Remember that a little effort from your side can help you accomplish great things in life.
