Job Interview is a horrendous challenge for job aspirants! Despite living in a smart world, the self-effacing attitude of the candidates towards interview challenges has not got any shrewder, sad but true fact! Most of the people attending job interview do not think they are capable enough to outdo the challenge. In a survey steered by LinkedIn, they could infer that 52% of the respondents commented the job interviews as ‘moderate to extremely challenging’ because of the lack of confidence and confusions.

The ability of the candidate is assessed by the interview panel based on how well the candidate presents himself, the clarity in conveying matters, language expertise etc. In order to stop these interview nerves getting the best of you, LinkedIn have come up with some new powerful ideas. As the first step, they have itemized certain cliché interview questions from actual hiring managers and recruiters and how they expect the interviewees to answer the interviewers’ questions. LinkedIn will make short videos explaining how to approach each question. For the premium LinkedIn customers, they will provide sample answers approved by veteran recruiters.

This feature will firstly start in the English-speaking countries and other countries they can go through the graphics in LinkedIn’s announcement. As per LinkedIn studies, the most asked interview questions are as follows:

• Tell me about yourself
• What is your greatest strength?
• What is your greatest weakness?
• Why should we hire you?
• Why do you want to work here?
• Tell me about a time you showed leadership
• Tell me about a time you were successful on a team
• What would your co-workers say about you?

LinkedIn in mobile and desktop application will tutor the LinkedIn members on various tips, how their approach should be and other similar to-be-addressed sections. Through Applied Jobs dashboard, the LinkedIn members can record videos of their replies to interview questions in a private platform and assess their performance by playing back their recorded interview sessions. Also, there is another option of sharing these recorded interview sessions with trusted connections for their feedback, mentoring and advice for self-improvement.

The first 90 seconds of your interview with the hiring officer will be the deciding factor or whether or not you should be recruited for that particular job. Also, it is inferred that 40% count the absence of pleasant face against the interviewee. Now LinkedIn has the platform to train yourself for your betterment. Do your study and nail your interviews!!!
