7.0 Maximize potential in Interview with HR and team leader

Interview

An interview is defined as a polite chat between two or more individuals in which questions are
asked of a person in order to obtain the needed responses or answers. People engaged in an
interview: In most interviews, two groups or two people sit face to face. The interviewer is the one
who asks the questions, and the interviewee is the one who answers them (wise step 2021)

Types of interviews

The phone call interview

A phone interview is frequently suggested as a first stage interview by hiring managers. Hiring
managers have traditionally used them as a quick encounter to get to know a prospect before
moving further with the interview process. Phone interviews have become a crucial technique for
interviewers to communicate with candidates since social distancing mechanisms have
revolutionized the recruiting process.

Panel interview

The panel interview, which challenges candidates to establish a connection with several
interviewers at the same time, is a common strategy for speeding up the interview process.
Although it may appear intimidating, panel interviews are less stressful than one-on-one interviews
since the group naturally adopts a more conversational format.

The competency test

It might be difficult to establish relevant experience to companies when you're just starting out in
the job market. As a result, hiring managers frequently employ a competence exam to screen
candidates. Three types of competency-based interviews can be found:

Your ability to use technologies and systems is tested via technical proficiency.

Your cognitive ability is measured by your cognitive competence.

Behavioral competence assesses your ability to work in a team, lead, solve problems, and
communicate. More businesses are looking for these emotional and social abilities in applicants

The virtual assessment center

The virtual assessment center is another popular method for individuals applying for graduate
programs and entry-level positions. This form of interview might incorporate presentations, group
activities, role play, and even psychometric testing to assess a variety of talents.

While traditional assessment center interviews frequently involve group work to examine how you
function in a group, interviewers in a virtual assessment center will use situational questions to
assess this.

Maximizing potential

There are many ways to maximize your potential or show your passion and interest in the job you
are applying for here are some of the ways mentioned below on how to dominate or show full
potential during an interview with the HR and Team leader of the business organization and
impress them during the interview.

Use precise responses wherever possible

I will avoid using clichés or general replies, such as "I'm a hard worker." Make up stories. Make
use of examples. I will Share my accomplishments. Make my own responses as precise as
possible so the interviewer should understand that I am not making stuff up. Reading over my list
and spending some time putting out specific examples from my job experience that I can use for
each question is the best approach to achieve a good impression in the interview with the HR and
the Team leader it will help me giving out a good potential to be employed for the role I have
selected.

Always keep a positive attitude

I will be a cheerful, pleasant individual. There is no one I won’t dislike or anything that irritates me
as far as the interviewer is aware. I will adore my supervisors, coworkers, and other coworkers.
Even though it's pouring outside, I should enjoy the weather. Everyone should want to be around
me, and no one should be scared of offending me. OK, maybe that's a little excessive, but
honestly I will be happy and pleasant; no one wants to hire someone who is a pain to be around.

Get a Good Start

The entire interview is influenced by first impressions. I will prepare to make a good start. Make an
effort to be the first to introduce oneself. Make an effort to strike up a discussion immediately soon.
I will be able to make up for more mistakes later in the interview process if I start strong. Looking
and feeling confident is a part of showing confidence in an interview.

Be unique.

Yes, I will utilize concrete responses, but I will also be as creative as possible. Any solution that
others may simply utilize should be avoided. I will stick to the solutions that I have come up with on
my own and use it during the interview. And I will not copy others work or use false statements
during the interview

Pose Interesting Questions

There is no such thing as a dumb question, but there is such a thing as a fantastic one. I should
prepare some intriguing questions that will make the interviewer ponder. The more I wow the
interviewer with my questions, the more likely I am to become remembered as the process
progresses. And while asking interesting questions I can have a good impression on the interview
and show my interest.

8.0 Team contribution and new role adjustment

When starting a new job at a different company it’s difficult to adapt in a new place in an early time
with new people around but adapting a new role there are many ways of adapting in a new place
and the following are mentioned below that I will use for adjusting in a new role and contributing in
the team.

a) I will take the effort to introduce myself

When I am joining a fast-paced culture, most people are likely to be busy at their cabins and not
realizing that I am just getting started. However, if I make the rounds and show up, people will
know who I am and what they hired me for. I will be surprised when they show up and I will do my
best to remember their names. I will make sure to provide a brief summary of my background,
such as telling them about my previous experience and skills. This gives me a chance to tell my
colleagues and give them an idea of the added value of my skills and experience. Also, from the
conversations I will have with my colleagues, I will be able to understand their roles and priorities
and identify areas where I can contribute to the firm. Attending social events like Friday drinks can
also help break the ice and make the introduction process much easier for me

b) I will be grateful and show that I am a part of the team

It is important that I must communicate and show that I enjoy being part of the team. For example,
I will use the term "we" instead of "me" in team meetings and I will feel free to give credit to
colleagues when the time is right. Also, I won’t hesitate to help a teammate who is short on time
on a project. I will also take the time to thank the people who have helped me on a daily basis,
such as the administration staff, the post office staff, the maintenance staff, and the front cabin. I
will take the time to thank the people who showed me the way, as they will definitely help you
integrate better into my new job...

c) I will understand my colleagues' communication patterns

Each office has its own set of standards that may not have been officially mentioned in the
contract that I signed before the dead line. For example, while my contract states that normal
business hours are between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., office culture may dictate otherwise and
business hours are 8:00 a.m. at 5:00 p.m. instead. I will observe the daily rhythm of the workplace
and identify the corporate culture in my first week. I will Pay attention to my team's communication
style and gain valuable insight into corporate culture and adapt my work style accordingly to the
work culture of the organization.

9.0 Using feedback to improve performance

Employee feedback is described as a process in which workers' reporting managers, supervisors,

and peers provide constructive ideas to them. Employee feedback, on the other hand, does not
stop there; it also includes input that an employee would want to offer to his or her boss,
colleagues, or the company as a whole. Employees and organizations can benefit from feedback
in order to improve their performance. Employee feedback is an important component of the
employee experience process and a method that will help employees improve their skills and the
business build a better culture. (Questionpro 2021)

There are different cases of feedback the following are

Positive feedback

This a feedback whereby it recognizes the good performance of an employee therefore it

motivates the employee to perform better in the future

Negative feedback

This is a feedback to an employee where it signals that the employee has not covered the job
aspects to deliver the best possible result.

But there are ways on how to always get a positive feedback and learn from the negative feedback
the following are mentioned below

Below are the methods I would use to improve my performance at work

Keeping my attention towards work and staying away from distractions

I will focus on the task given and finish on time rather than watching you tube content and scrolling
through social media and wasting my precious time so I will stop all the social media content
watching and keep my attention towards the work/task given and by doing that I can submit my
work on time.

Every day I will read something new and useful.

All around us, change is happening all the time. Reading is the greatest method to keep up with
the competition and learn about new tools, trends, and technology that influence my organization
and it would help me to have a better understanding on the market the company is in.

Recognizing the areas of my weakness.

It's impossible for someone to be good at everything. We all have advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage of recognizing my flaws is that I may find areas where I can improve. Even if I can
always discover methods to improve, concentrate on identifying the factors that are affecting my
work performance and working to improve them. When I can reach "great I will not just settle for
okay I want to go ahead and settle for great and perfect. Read, learn, and pay attention. Every day
I should do something new to make me the best version of myself and be useful to the company.

14
Setting goals for myself.

We have a natural proclivity towards aiming for the moon and setting lofty objectives. It comes to
creating objectives to enhance job performance, its fine to be bold. Big tasks, on the other hand,
might become daunting. Setting milestones can assist me in achieving my moonshot objectives,
whether personal or professional. I will stay motivated with each success if I break down those
huge personal and professional undertakings into smaller targets. And make achieving my goals in
a short period of time

Avoid multitasking at all costs.

The majority of individuals claim to be multitasking masters, however multitasking simply serves to
lower the quality of work. Although it may appear like multitasking enables me to achieve more, it
really has the opposite effect. When I find myself doing more than one item at a time, I should take
a step back and decide which activity is more essential and devote all of my attention to it.
Working on a single job at a time allows me to be more efficient, less stressed, and less likely to
make mistakes.

Prioritize, plan, and arrange.

Improving my job effectiveness requires planning my daily routine, as well as arranging and
prioritizing activities or goals. I should be realistic and doable while establishing my to-do list.
Setting reasonable objectives and exceeding them is preferable to the reverse. Making a
comprehensive plan ahead of time may also help me figure out which chores I can put off for more
important, valued jobs and which ones I can delegate without compromising the outcome of my
performance when doing this task I will be able to get positive feedbacks
