Groundwork Of An Interview -Part II

1] On The Day of Interview :
Ensure you are punctual. Reaching the venue 10 mins prior to the scheduled time would not only help you make a  good first impression but also will help you get acquainted with the new environment and clam your mind. Being hydrated is another important thing to keep in mind. Interviews might take a lot of time and you need to be best on the interview day.

2] During the interview
Be calm. An interview isn’t a place to decide whether you want to get into the organization so keep those thoughts on hold till after the interview. Don't shy away from accepting your lack of knowledge about any topic this would save you any future embarrassment. Ensure to be pleasant but not timid, confident but not rude

2] After the interview
Wait patiently for the response. There are a few hidden indications of responses.“We will get back to you”  or “You can leave for the day” are generally indications of a negative response. So don’t hold on to hopes. But do not assume and leave the hall until told so, you never know what an interviewer is looking at. You might feel you have flunked the interview but he/she might pass you for the future rounds.

3] Wait for the offer
This is the most terrifying part of your process. Generally, an HR takes around a week to send you the salary slip after asking for collecting your documents. If they do not t back to you within a week you should drop an email but do not sound desperate as this might negatively impact your chances of getting the best fit for your aspirations

 4] Salary :
Look at all the components in a salary slip. The whole package might seem to be much but due to different claims and deductions, your in-hand salary might be pretty less. So focus on in-hand salary. You can negotiate with HR regarding salaries.

Note: the Counteroffer is not ethically wrong. If an organization gets someone with your talents in low pay they would hire them the same way candidates should look for his/her interest. (Purely my own opinion)
