• April 10, 2024 / admin

Interviews can be daunting, but they are your gateway to opportunities and career advancement. To ease this critical transition from campus to corporate, JK Business School recently conducted a comprehensive workshop titled “How to Crack an Interview” as part of our Campus to Corporate Series. Led by the experienced academician and corporate trainer, Dr. Kirti Mankotia, this workshop aimed to equip students with essential interview skills for the competitive job market.

The Interview: Your Gateway to Opportunity

An interview is not just a discussion; it’s a strategic interaction that requires preparation, poise, and presence of mind. At JKBS, we believe in preparing our students to face the corporate world not only with strong academic foundations but also with practical interpersonal skills.

Workshop Highlights: Strategies and Insights

Dr. Mankotia, with her extensive experience in the corporate sector, shared insights into the intricacies of the interview process. From crafting compelling stories around your achievements to understanding the subtle nuances of non-verbal communication, participants received a wealth of knowledge.

Key takeaways included:

• Crafting a resume that stands out.
• The importance of research and preparation.
• Effective communication strategies, including the art of body language.
• The STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) for answering behavioral questions.
• Techniques for maintaining composure under pressure.
• Follow-up etiquette post-interview.

Interactive Learning: Role-Plays and Simulations

What set this workshop apart was its interactive approach. Attendees engaged in mock interviews, role-plays, and real-time simulations that provided a practical understanding of the concepts discussed. This hands-on experience was invaluable, giving students the confidence to apply their new knowledge in actual interviews.

The Campus to Corporate Series: Bridging the Gap

This workshop is one of many in JKBS’s Campus to Corporate Series, which focuses on bridging the educational and professional worlds. Our goal is to ensure that every student is well-equipped not just academically but also professionally, paving the way for a smooth transition to their corporate roles.

Looking Ahead: Your Interview Success

As our students move forward in their careers, the tools and strategies learned during the workshop will serve as a solid foundation for their interview success. We encourage all participants to keep honing these skills and to stay connected with JKBS for ongoing career support.
