They have difficulty being clear and concise; it’s hard for them to create focus, energy, and passion around the points they want to make. They are unable to communicate their thoughts effectively. You’re talking to an executive, and the first thing you’ll get asked if you haven’t made it perfectly clear in the first 60 seconds of your presentation is, ‘What do you want me to take away from this meeting?’ They don’t know how to answer that question.” Mike Summers, Vice President for Global Talent Management, Dell Computers “For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them.” - Aristotle (384 - 322 BC) Greek philosopher and Scientist - Probably the first proponent of experiential learning. Aren’t you risking your future by not being the professional that your certificates say you are? In reality, most interviewers are disguised interrogators. They ask tricky questions point blank, and make harsh judgements based on your on-the-spot, spontaneous responses. Interviewers believe, ‘behaviour’ predicts ‘behaviour’. That is, your spontaneous responses are the true indications of your deep-rooted ‘behaviour’ that will eventually get exposed in the actual job. The challenge for you is how to develop on-the-spot behaviours that are professional and likeable. ‘On the spot’ personal interaction skills are psycho-motor skills. The only way to ingrain them is to repeatedly work on them in actual environments, until it becomes a habit. But, how can you do that? Interview Simulators are the Only Solution. Why? You need 21 days to build a new habit: Few minutes of mock-interviews can neither identify your shortcomings nor help ingrain best practices. It needs continuous practice on a simulator. You need to sustain ‘presence of mind’ under stress: On the spot ‘inductive reasoning’ and ‘creative problem solving’ win interviews. Only a simulator can build this. You must understand questions as it is being asked. Quick deciphering of questions for their hidden meanings leads to smart answers. Simulator is a must for this. You must formulate answers in 5 seconds: And, start speaking in the 6th second. Only a simulator ensures this. You must use correct words, terminologies on the spot: Words used on the spot describes your depth of knowledge. To analyse your responses & to find remedies, you need a simulator. You must remain likeable in tense situations. How is your facial expressions and gestures while handling complex mix of technical and HR questions? Optimise them with the simulator. Practice won’t make you perfect. Only perfect practice can make you perfect. Interview Simulator is the insurance for safeguarding your hard-earned qualifications & career.
