Tell me something about yourself' - This is the interviewer's invitation for you to own the interview. In this video, we look at how you can tackle different aspects of the interview. Reliance Industries and InsideIIM bring you Summertime Madness, a unique series to help one tackle interviews for a job and internship.
The next set of questions will revolve around your CV and your knowledge. So prepare well enough to be able to substantiate every point mentioned in the CV with stories and specific insights/learnings. If you have lied in the CV, it will come through in the interview. Also be prepared for questions on the lines of "Tell me of a time when.." Where you need to bring out relevant stories from your life. We have tackled case studies in a separate video, but also be thorough on the subjects that may be relevant for the particular company you are applying to intern at. Prepare so much that you can be spontaneous during the interview, without having to think. I have noticed that practising some of these answers in front of a mirror helps immensely.
