We often used to listen the line “ First impression is the last impression”, somehow that’s true.Even when we drop a resume in personally , way of walk, talking with management , body language tells a lot about ourselves. and to survive in a job interview all these points matter a lot.

Everybody wants to work at high reputed institue to polosh his?her skills more.As, having Master degree in hand with two year experience of coaching student at home.I came to know abut the vacency at Allied School, Mustafabad Faisalabad branch.According to job description I am fullfiling all the requrirments.

So, I decided to dropped my resume in personally. For this i visited the school branch and inquire about the management who receive the resume. And after dropping my resume, they scheduled my interview next day.

Next day i reached on time about 10 am and try to dress like professional.also take my resume and cover letter with me. Before interview, walking in corridor I revised my elevator/walk and talk pitch in mind and try to overcome nervousness. and fully prepared for question answer session and for giving demonstration ( demo) too.

Next , they call me in office. Ma’am asked a friendly question to create a relaxing environment. In question to “tell me about yourself” i delivered my elevator pitch in very relaxing mode. Then she asked me about my previous job, about how was experience there? In answer . I talk about my achievement there. She even asked me about my strengths and weaknesses.And I explained all these points by giving examples and she look quite satisfy. Then , she called a co-ordinator to take demo.

Now we were in class of 10th girls, and panel of 4 teacher assign me a topic of Law of Conversation of Energy and gave 15 minutes to go through from topic. I delivered the lecture and answered all the questions from students and panel side. And the panel look satisfy because i personally feel i did my best by showing confidence , with using good body language , by showing showing interest in subject.

It was a good experience overall. In addition , head give mefeedback in positive also give me some more helpful instruction to improve my weak point which she observed and said she will call me if i got selected from no of candidates.

In my experience being real and honest with yourself is a key to success.
