Make the right first impression

An interview is an ultimate test in the corporate world for determining a candidate’s qualifications, talents, and suitability for the position. It is true that a recruiter develops his own way of conducting an interview over time, the bottom line is that he needs to get the correct professional, psychological, and functional insights from candidates in order to make the best hiring decisions for his company.

Interviews are one of the most effective screening tools for recruiting candidates. It’s not always easy to figure out how many rounds of interviews are necessary for a given position. Here is what you need to know if you’re wondering how many rounds are required for a successful interviewing method.

Entry-level positions, on average, do not require as many rounds as executive ones. Most of the time, just one or two questions should be enough to assess if the candidate has the required potential or not. In an interview, there are a lot of stages that are usually not counted or considered as part of the interview, but one needs to be prepared so that their chances of selection will be high.

If you want to be considered for an interview, your resume must grab the reader’s attention within seconds. Recruiters and hiring managers receive hundreds of applications for a single position, and they sometimes only have time to scan resumes before deciding whether to progress candidates to an interview. Recruiters may look at your resume for a short while, but that one-page summary of the candidate makes an impact in their mind which is sufficient to decide whether to select or not. An unstructured resume can reduce your chances of getting selected in the first place. So, a complete guide to write the best fresher resume style can help you land the job you’ve always wanted. If you’re looking for your first job, you might be unclear about what to include on your Resume.
