A job interview is the most `dreaded' event in the life of an individual. There is no fixed procedure or one `best' way to go through an interview. The mantra for success in interviews is how well the candidate is able to project himself. This article focuses on the importance of displaying one's inherent and acquired skills meticulously at the time of interview.

The present scenario of recruitment is extremely competitive and intense. Employers today are looking for candidates who have the `killer instinct' and those who are `go-getters'. The candidates should endeavor to rise above the crowd. Just as a product having multiple uses fetches a greater value in the market, similarly, a candidate with multiple skills is a valuable asset to the prospective employer. In other words, the candidate should promote himself to the best of his ability in order to have an edge over others. However he should focus on what is actually desired by the organization. Employers need people who can `drive' and not those who can be `driven'. No matter how best the schooling has been, no matter how good the Grade Point Average (GPA) has been, eventually what matters is the performance in the interview.

Every interview is a learning experience; hence, the candidate is required to showcase his caliber in those few moments of the interview. It is a chance to display the skills that the candidate possesses, which suit the required position. So, no matter how brilliant the credentials are, it is ultimately the ability to `sell the skills to the interviewer' and thereby clear the interview. In order to sail through the interview process smoothly, candidates need to keep in mind.
