Hi.. I have a question to ask.. I have received a confirmation email from one of the companies that asked me to go for interview. But the interview date they gave was wrong. I said that I would prefer the interview to be on Thursday but the mail they sent me stated Wednesday. I replied back their mail and stated that the interview date was wrong and I wanted it to be on Thursday.

I am worried that they did not see the mail and hence think that my interview is tommorow. Am I supposed to expect a reply from them or should I call them directly and ask them to change the date?

Hmm You will be lacking some working experience (maybe you've worked part time?), so start with some simple intro of your family, education, your interests etc. I know it's boring and they are stated in the resume. There are ppl who advise better not repeat what you've written in the resume. But I beg to differ. I have been to numerous interviews and it's a standard question.

Bear in mind that usually it's the HR who did filtering process and reading of resume. They will select several (or a pool) of candidates whom they think fits the qualification. HR will then pass the details to the interviewers, and set up interview date/ time and all. Do remember that your interviewer are usually managers. They are far too busy to read and remember the details in your resume... and also keep in mind that you're just one of the many. The ONLY time when the interviewers actually know about you is when you talk to them bout yourself. I have seen a lot of them actually reading my resume for the 1st time DURING the interview.

Conclusion, it's fine to repeat what you have in your resume.

Now back to the question on what to talk about... you can highlight on your College/ University. If you have been to overseas, talk about your experience and observations there. Or, talk about your college/ university projects that you've done. Maybe in your final project you have some difficulty but managed to get through it due to ability, you can tell him/ her about it. And if you've done some part time/ internship, talk about it too - your experience and observation as well.

Right.. Thanks for the tip. My first interview is with a big company and it's very early in the morning. Hope I don't encounter a brain freeze.

Also as far as I know, it's important to be consistent when talking. So I guess when you're answering a question. you can't stop half way and think about the remaining things to talk about?
