Interviews can get the sweat glands hyper-active for any ordinary mortal. After all, the stakes are so high. And stress is normal. Whether we study Chartered Accountancy or MBA, the implied objective is to secure a placement. You tell yourself “It’s been enough of Earning. Now it’s time for some Earning”. But comes in between you and your dream job is the Interview. You have to jostle for creating an impact in the eyes of the interviewer and prove to him/her that you are better than competition J Easier said than done.
