organize their thoughts and process them to
find a solution”.
However going through a tough interview

worth it, too. Overall, McKinsey earned an
average employee satisfaction rating of 4.3
out of 5 from its workers.
Applications

your resume would make your friends read it
and recognize you?”
 P&G suggests if you have an opportunity to
speak to a recruiter or hiring manager on the
phone before you walk into an in-person
interview, ask them who you’ll be meeting
with, how long you should plan to be there,
what the interview setup will be like, and so
on.
 Big names like Google, P&G, Microsoft, and
Facebook also rank among the top 25.

In India, most reputed Job interviews are of
1 . SSB(service selection board)
Because the way the interview is being conducted
is so different. It will be conducted for five days
and those who failed to clear the 1st day will be
sent off. Those who clears it proceeds to the next
round which will be held for the next four days. It
will be surprising but our former president Dr.APJ
Abdul Kalam failed to clear SSB.
2 . UPSC
This is a Big Deal as it requires a year long
preparation at-least as clearing this exams will
give you some of the highest positions in Indian
government like IAS(Indian Administrative
Services),IPS(Indian Police Services),IFS(Indian
Foreign Services) and so on.
Applications

 Although, regardless of application, the
one-to-one face-to-face interview is the
most common form, multiple interviewers
and/or multiple interviewees will be found
in some circumstances.
 Verbal content is the main focus of
attention in most interview situations, but
non-verbal information, especially body
language, is sometimes examined.
 Limitations in the effectiveness of selection
interviewing are well established, but
interviews remain popular.
