Kiss At An Interview

KISS means Keep it Short and Simple, this the most important thing, you should remember when you are at an interview. Let it be any interview, for a job, for admission at some college, high school or any other institute. Always follow the technique of KISS. If you KISS, there is a 90% chance that you, they will select you. Most of the interviewers are looking for this quality in your answers.

When the interviewer ask you a question, listen to it; if you did not understand say ’PARDON’. However, be very careful do not use the word PARDON, more than two times at an interview. If you cannot understand most of what he says then just make a GOOD GUESS and answer what you think the interviewer might have asked. Asking someone to repeat question continually is often considered offensive.

Now while answering the question you will have to keep kiss in your mind. Keep your answer concise, it should neither be very short nor be very long. One word answer such as YES or NO should be avoided, try to add something, some detail with such answers. However, do not make your answers so long, that it begins to irritate the interviewer .

To keep your answer simple, use very simple and understandable language, do not use very difficult vocabulary words. Do not use uncommon vocabulary, if your vocabulary is very good you can mention it on your resume. Another thing, if you use difficult vocabulary, the interviewer might not understand you, “why will he select you if he did not understand what you said?"

Use different words to create a colorful effect in your answer but avoid using difficult words For example, instead of dead you can use expired, or passed away, do not use demise. This way you will not make any pronunciation mistake, and another thing that these words are used at certain situations if you are familiar with the use of a word perfectly then go ahead use it, but it would be better if you avoid heavy vocabulary.

If you KISS, it will not be a problem for the interviewer to judge your capability, if he understands everything that you say, then you will pass the interview
