Ace your SBI and IBPS PO Interview by following these simple tips

Candidates who pass the written section of any exam must give the interview stage similar weight because the SBI and IBPS PO interviews are soon to come. For consideration for the position of Probationary Officer, a candidate must successfully complete both the written and interview phases.

As a result, we are providing you with some very important advice regarding interviews. This will enable you to succeed in any next bank interviews.

The panels for SBI and IBPS PO interviews often have 4-5 people on them. The majority of these would be seasoned bank employees, along with one psychologist. Why a psychologist, though?

The psychologist is here to watch you and your nonverbal cues. To give you an idea of how significant a part this is, over 70% of our communication with others is done through body language.

Within seconds of any interaction, a person can create an opinion of another person, whether consciously or unconsciously. It is crucial that you leave a lasting impression in this situation.

How can you then master that other 30% of the conversation?

1. DRESS FOR SUCCESS

Being adequately dressed is crucial. Your first impression on potential employers will depend on how you are dressed. It is best to present any candidate in well-groomed, formal attire. Unmade hair, casual attire, and unkempt or mistreated appearances are all severely discouraged.

Women can wear a blazer with a light-colored top and light-colored pants and a plain, cotton saree or salwar kameez with a plain dupatta or both. Wear little to no jewellery and makeup.

Men should go for a simple, light-colored shirt, dark-colored pants, and a simple tie. Wintertime is a fantastic time to wear a jacket. Make sure your hair is neat, your shoes are polished, and you have a clean shave.

Dress accordingly, please. This is crucial for more than simply making a good first impression—it also gives you more self-confidence!

2. PRESENT A STRONG HANDSHAKE

We cannot stress this enough. A firm handshake communicates assurance and an approachable personality up for a challenge. Poor handshakes might come across as uninterested, uneasy, and generally give the wrong impression. That's obviously the last thing you want. A solid handshake, on the other hand, will win you lots of favour.

3. Control your posture and your hands.

Never slump while you're sitting down. Yes, maintaining proper posture shows that you are alert and enthusiastic. And we can assure you that it makes a big difference.

4. VISUAL CONTACT

Maintaining eye contact demonstrates your sincerity and confidence. It implies that you are trustworthy and that you are at ease with yourself and know what you are talking about.

Both are highly desirable characteristics in a potential employee.

5. HAVE FAITH IN YOURSELF

"Whether you believe you can or believe you can't, you're correct!" Have you ever heard Henry Ford's famous quote? The key to success is believing in yourself. So take a deep breath and go ace that interview! If we can't get you going, we're sure this extra dose of motivation and self-belief will!

6. PERFORM YOUR BANK RESEARCH

Conduct extensive research on the bank and the job profile you're interviewing for. Two to three of the interviewer's questions will be about the company and the job profile you're applying for. Before attending the interview, go to the bank's website.

7. BE POLITE IN FRONT OF THE INTERVIEWER PANEL.

After entering, greet the panel with a firm handshake and wait to be asked to take a seat. A simple 'Hello' and 'How are you?' will suffice, and you will not need to engage in small talk with the interviewer (s).

THANK YOU TO THE INTERVIEWER

Last but not least, do not leave the room without thanking the interviewer(s) for their time.

You've worked hard and prepared to get here. You can move forward with confidence. That concludes this blog. We hope these tips help you ace the SBI and IBPS PO interviews.
