In a company as large as HCCB, approachability is sometimes an issue. However, there was a well-established mentor and guidance system in place. My guide and my whole team were always ready to help me. Due to the busy nature of the jobs there, the challenge lies in fixing appointments with them. If as an effective person, you are able to do that successfully, people are more than willing to lend a helping hand.
Since HCCB shortlists a large number of people, the interview was high pressure and highly competitive. You are not expected to know the intricacies of sales and marketing, however one should be logical when answering domain related questions. Apart from that, brushing up on communication skills and current affairs is a must, to be able to crack both the GD and the PI.
One should also try avoiding clichés and try and keep their answers differentiated. For Example, if the interviewer asks your biggest strength, you wouldn’t really stand out if you mention – ‘hardworking’. The key to selection, in my opinion, is to sound eager, keen and confident.
