Why I was not selected? - What went wrong at my Banking Interview?


Why I was not selected? - What went wrong at my Banking Interview?

There are only 15 reasons for not being selected in a PSU bank interview as far as my knowledge is concerned.

So many times students have asked me this question. Well, No one can tell you the exact reason for yourself not being selected after the interview, BUT, based on the inputs I am going to provide over here, you can certainly judge yourself. Because a person can tell a lie to everyone, but not to himself.

A candidate might not be selected if:

1.       He has not adhered to the announcement of the coordinating officer, (The officer who verifies your certificates prior to the interview).

2.       He has not followed the standard dressing code.

3.       He has not been confident enough at his entry inside the interview room.

4.       He has not utilized the “first 40 seconds factor”

5.       He has more interest in telling about the influence his parent or relatives are having.

6.       He was the one and only reason because of which his last company was surviving.

7.       He has created an impression that he is dissatisfied with either his family or his college or his    present or ex-employer.

8.       He has not been able to maintain an eye contact.

9.       He has not been able to judge the “blanks”.

10.   He didn’t have the courage to say – “I don’t Know”

11.   He didn’t have the etiquettes to say – “I apologize”

12.   He has been allergic to a “smile”

13.   He has appeared for the bank examination because no one was offering him a job.

14.   He is more comfortable in getting a posting at his own hometown.

15.   He has not been aware of what is called a finishing touch of an interview.

Now, anyone who has not been successful till now can easily guess “what went wrong”

Biggest blunder candidates do at the Bank PO interview (Part – II)


Biggest blunder candidates do at the Bank PO interview (Part – II)

Being negative in their approach is the reason of not being found in the final selection list.

Being dissatisfied with your employer or with the institution in which you have studied or with the circumstances you have faced is not uncommon. But yes it is a real blunder if a candidate expresses such points and such feelings during a Banking interview.

If a candidate has no regards for the institution where he or she has spent at least 3 best years of life during graduation or having no regards for the ex-employer, he or she certainly does NOT deserve to be part of an industry which needs active public dealing.

Secondly, giving absolutely vague answers like –“I want to join the PSU banks because of the social status associated with these jobs”

“I didn’t get any job after my graduation hence I started preparing for the banking examinations”

“My employer didn’t treat me well in my past job so I quit and decided to prepare for PSU Banks”

For god sake, if possible, try to avoid such things. Do you want them to get an impression that as nobody is giving you a job, they should?
Or are you trying to tell them that you are not able to take right decisions at the right time hence you couldn’t pick up a good stream and college to study, a good employer to work for?

You are there to sell yourself,
Do it intelligently,


Rest in next post,
Stay tuned,
And yes, please provide your valuable feedback,
