Placements season normally began in every engineering college from the last semester of your course , and each students want to get the best dream job through campusing interview . But day by day this place season becomes bit tighter than the previous year season due current economic situation and similarly slow-down of hiring process.
Sometimes a lot of students became confused what to do and what not to do before preparing the job interview . So today our blog discuss about “How to prepare for Job placements ?”

    2. What are the procedures of recruitment for each of the companies? For example , Aptitude Tests , Group Discussion , Written & Spoken English , Interview (Technical) , Interview (HR) and so on .
    3. What is the general intake? For example, suppose in pool interview or college campus interview where the big multinational companies recruit in hundreds! If you get the informaton in advance basis , This will help you to decide the level of competition you're likely to face infront of interviewer.Work load , further learning

4. Written & Spoken English: Like it or do not; but the Indian job markets demand people who can speak and write correct English and fluent english. If you think you need to sharpen your English speaking / writing skills; then NOW is the time to do it. It's going to help you in your entire career. Trust me, a lot of people unnecessarily get rejected because they can't communicate or express themselves.

5. Interview (Technical)
: If you're good at engineering topics (tip #1), then cracking the technical interview won't be a problem. There are several tips here on CE that will help you crack the technical interviews. It's better to ask your doubts in our technical discussion sections ( no matter how basic they are) and get your ideas clear.

6. Interview (HR)
: If you think that clearing apti and technical rounds ensures that you're selected, the wait a minute - many times, overconfident candidates get rejected in HR interviews - something that shouldn't happen to you. So take the HR interviews seriously!
But that doesn't mean you should have a serious expression on your face. All you're expected in an HR interview is to be yourself, have a smiling face, don't be over confident and be excited about the things. Don't overdo anything!
That said, if you have any questions or doubts about cracking the campus recruitments season; post them below. Wish you all the best!

Update
: It's been a long time since I wrote this article. The tips and tricks for campus placements preparations more or less remain the same. The recruitment methodologies have changed, but the recruiters still evaluate candidates on their past performance. I'll update this with one more, very important tip - 

7. Build Your Skills Showcase Portfolio
: When there are thousands of other engineering students preparing for the same job that you are preparing for, your chances of getting selected are going to go down. How do you stand out from the competition? Well, the answer is simple -
"Do something others aren't doing"
That is, have something that others don't have. If you are looking for an IT job; why not work on a few pet software development projects on your own and list them on your resume? For example, you could develop a very simple project or projects - like a backup manager, an android or iOS app or a perl script that does something cool - and add it in your resume? When you appear for interview, do not forget to bring the interviewer's attention to your projects. I'm sure they'll be more impressed to see that you've gone beyond academics and done something on your own.
If you are from non-IT background, add something to your resume that shows that you are doing something more. It could be a research or observation about something that you've studied, some practical study or research or a mechanical design, a computer model, a robot, a drone something like that.
If you have questions about how to do this; you can always ask your questions below. Wishing you all the best for your upcoming campus placements.
