Companies often lower their recruitment standards for students.<\/span><\/p>\n However, there\u2019s much more than technical knowledge that required to clear a campus recruitment interview<\/a><\/strong>. In the following article, we are providing you a detailed preparation guide to clear your campus interview. Download it as a PDF<\/strong><\/a> to use it as a handy guide.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Every college has multiple companies coming ever year for campus recruitment<\/strong><\/a>. Find out which companies visit your college for placements from your placement cell and maintain a track sheet for those companies. Write down the dates when they\u2019re organizing the recruitment drive in your college, their official website address, links to their social media channels and a brief description about the company.<\/span><\/p>\n Now it\u2019s very important that you do an extensive research on these companies and learn everything you can about them. Here are some things that you should know:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Though almost every company holds presentations before the interviews, it\u2019s important that you read up about them on their website and social media channels. Use your networks and if any of your seniors is working in the company, ask them about the recruitment process<\/strong>, interview<\/strong>, etc. When you\u2019re given a chance to ask them questions after the presentation, don\u2019t hesitate.<\/span><\/p>\n Ask them about the job profile, the qualities they are looking for in their prospective employees, typical day at the job and\/or something unique that you noticed about them during your research or during the presentation. So it\u2019s important that you pay attention during the presentation.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Why is it important to research about all companies visiting your campus?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n Sometimes, a company might terminate their visit and instead of them, some other companies\u2019 visit might get scheduled. Therefore, knowing about every company that\u2019s going to visit your company helps in such situations. In fact, you can write down their details in brief on the track sheet you\u2019re maintaining.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n One of the things that will instantly set you apart from the crowd and get you noticed is your resume<\/strong>. We suggest you spend a fair amount time writing your resume<\/strong>. Do not just fill out a preset template. It goes without saying, that your resume<\/strong> needs to be customized according to the company<\/strong> and job profile<\/strong> you\u2019re applying for. A resume<\/strong> made for profile of a business analyst needs to be different from a resume<\/strong> made for profile of a coder.<\/span><\/p>\n Do a thorough research about the job profile<\/strong> and the company<\/strong>. Talk to your Seniors or friends or acquaintances working in that company and take their help. Most companies have a preferred format of resume.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Have your resume(s)<\/strong> reviewed by your friends, peers, and placement officers. Take their feedback and make necessary changes in your resume<\/strong>. Your resume<\/strong> is an indispensable tool. It needs to be properly structured and formatted<\/em>. Use simple language, check multiple times to make sure there are no errors, do not use fancy fonts or colors and make sure your resume<\/strong> layout is clear.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Things you should include in your resume:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Summary, Educational qualification, Objective, Skill sets, Hobbies, Work experience, Internships, Projects, Extra-curricular activities (highlight where you outshine others), Personal data.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n Your resume<\/strong> should reflect your strengths and weaknesses in such a way that it supports your efficiency in the job position. Even your personal data needs to direct to your improvement in the professional field. Don\u2019t include too many details about your projects. This will give you a chance to explain about them to the interviewer later and impress her\/him.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now that you have set your resume<\/strong>, it is time you start preparing for your interview<\/strong>. Though most companies intimate you about their recruitment process<\/strong>, there are many who don\u2019t. You can however prepare based on the following format which a lot of companies follow:<\/span><\/p>\n We\u2019d suggest you download model recruitment exam questions<\/strong><\/a> from google and also use your networks to determine the kind of questions you will be asked.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Generally, in aptitude tests<\/a><\/strong>, you\u2019re tested on your decision-making, problem-solving skills, logical abilities, math and English vocabulary and comprehension. 2 months of preparation should be good enough to master it.<\/span><\/p>\n The aptitude tests<\/strong><\/a> usually contain three sections: Quantitative Aptitude, Reasoning and English language.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Following are some of the important topics you can prepare for:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Quantitative Aptitude:<\/strong><\/a><\/span> Logarithms, time and work, permutation and combination, HCF and LCM, geometry, profit and loss, simple and compound interest, algebra, percentages, speed and distance, arithmetic, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n Reasoning:<\/strong><\/a><\/span> Logical reasoning, puzzles, data interpretation, direction, venn diagrams, blood relations, arrangement, number series, directions, graphs, data sufficiency, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n English Language:<\/strong><\/a><\/span> Reading comprehension, antonyms & synonyms, sentence completion, vocabulary, paragraph completion, fill in the blanks, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Practice latest campus interview aptitude questions<\/strong>.
