What is the reason employers prefer certified candidates over non-certified candidates?
In today’s fast-pacing and highly competitive corporate world, candidates, need a competitive kind of edge that will make them stand out among their peers, apart from their prior qualifications and work experiences. Professional certifications do the same for them.
Hiring a candidate that doesn’t carry the appropriate set of knowledge and skills affects the candidate as well as equally affects the employer. This doesn’t specifically say that certifications are the only pathway to achieve career success, but you are required to meet the prerequisites that are mandated by your interviewer.
Generally, in service-based companies, it is easier to get a job with moderate knowledge along with one global certification. As compared to product-based companies value your knowledge over the value of your certifications.
In simple words, certifications are a simple way to tell your recruiters that you belong to the niche professional’s category that can easily make a difference in the organization. They tell them that you have the required skill set to start working.
What is a Video Resume?
Unlike the Paper-based Resume, the concept of a Video Resume is completely different. It is a new way to represent your capabilities beyond the capacity of the Paper-based Resume.
To explain it to you in a simple way, video resumes emphasize your work experience, qualification, hobbies, in a video format rather than presenting them on a piece of paper. It is a convenient supplement to the conventional resume. The video resume helps you to effortlessly demonstrate your technical/creative, communication, and interpersonal skills, in a way that a simple Paper Resume cannot. An ideal video resume should follow the timeline of 60 seconds whereas; you can at the most stretch it to 120 seconds.
Why do we call it a Job Drive?
As the interview progresses, at times when you don’t have the correct answer to the question asked. Also, there will be a few times when you know the answers. The moment you get a chance to answer something which you know very clearly, you should describe the answer in such a way that you will try to end the answer at the point which you know already well.
Eg: While answering concept A, you should complete the sentence by giving a hint of concept B which you know better. Eventually, you will find the interviewer will be asking you concept B and so on.
The interviewer and interviewee are in a vehicle. Now interviewer will try to reject you and you, the interviewee will try to get selected. Unless you will come up with a strategy you will end up losing the job. The drive means, the opportunity to grab the steering of the vehicle to drive it by your way. If the interviewer will drive the vehicle he will reject you, but if you will drive the vehicle you will end up getting the job.
The mantra of answering one question after another in the interview is, All of your answers should be connected and elaborated in a way that you swiftly shift the interviewer to your comfort zone and make sure he does not go out of it unless you are selected.
