Group Discussion:
Train yourself to be a good listener. Develop the patience to listen attentively.

Admit that everyone has something valuable to say.

When speaking in a GD, your job is to clear your point of view in a way that is easy for others to understand.

Inculcate the good habit of structuring your thoughts and presenting them logically.

Tips for Personal Interview

Always remain positive during the interview even if things aren't going well as you had hoped for.

Try not to leave the interviewer with at least one thing about you that might be unique from other candidates that would be valuable to the company if they hired you.

If during an interview you realize that the position is not of interest to you, complete the interview and answer the questions as you would do if you were interested in the job.

Never speak negative about your former or current employer or divulge confidential information that you shouldn't.
