There was an interview in my campus and the gentleman from the company had asked only girls should apply. He told the gathering that he has a soft corner for girls. This was real shocker for most of us and we walked out from the selection procedure.
Half of the interviewers just follow a strict pattern of questions and expect only some fixed answers. If anyone answers the questions in an unexpected way, or question them back,those morons just fumble and fall at a total loss of words. In the end they just report to their seniors that the candidate wasn't right for the job. Its also very annoying when people call you for marketing jobs when you have posted you resume for creative, production or technical jobs!
I have seen companies rejecting a good candidate feeling that the candidate is overaged. He was a 36 year old software professional with excellent knowledge and health, but the company rejected saying that he is overaged and men at his age should have been a project manager - so stupid a reason.
To crack any interview one must have the attitude in himself. Most of the candidates fail because of communication factor. While appering for any interview candidate should bear in the mind that he is a Product and he has to sell himself by attributing his skills, calibre and potential. What a HR looks for is that the ability to take the training for job because he(HR) is very well aware of the fact about what the candidate has done in his curriculum.
I am surprised to find one commonly made mistake appearing twice here: Using the word 'few' without using 'a' before it gives it a different meaning. 'A few' means 'some small number (of people/etc.)' whereas 'few' means 'too small a number (of people/etc.) to be of any significance; a rarity'. Humbly submitted.
