Interview is a challenge which the candidate has to face with his personality. Interview is an opportunity which a clever candidate takes full advantage of. In the interview, it is assessed in what way the candidate has been able to make use of his book-knowledge in practical life or how far he has been able to assimilate all that he has read. Power of discretion and decision is also assessed at the time of interview. To prove ones worth on this touchstone, the candidate has to undergo regular practise for the discipline himself for the occasion. For this, it is desirable for the candidate to be in touch with men of ability and experience.Good luck for your Interview friends :)
