NPS Recruitment Shortlisted Applicant Update

If you’ve been shortlisted, then you’ve got your foot in the door. And it’s time for you to shine at the final stage – the interview.

However, when shortlisted:

• Endeavour to get information about the company.

• Also, ensure you have a clear vision. Try to figure out why you want the specific position. And how you would be a good fit.

• Also, go through your application.

• Additionally, be interactive. It’s an interview, not an interrogation. There is much more to you than your resume.

• The practice goes a long way. Thus, take mock interviews with your friends or practice speaking before a mirror.

• It’s rare, but sometimes you do get an offer letter directly based on your application.

• You start planning the celebration but remember some points before you go into that party mode: Get it in writing.

• Also, go over the written offer in detail. And make sure all important details are mentioned and ask questions if you don’t understand anything.

• Such as work profile, start date, duration, and stipend, etc.

• Send a thank-you letter to the employer, once you accept the offer.

• Also, follow up with an e-mail confirming your start date and expressing your enthusiasm for your new role.
