It depends on how you sell yourself for the role to land every job you interview for.

Below is a list of the things you should avoid doing at all costs in an interview when you explain why you should be considered for a position you have applied for. Don’t be generic: An example of a generic answer is, “I have the qualifications, I am smart, and I want this position.” This is what most candidates want and will most likely say in their interviews. It does not add any unique factor to your character.  Be humble: An interview is about selling your skills, abilities, and knowledge. Elucidate your experiences and skills to emphasize why they should hire you. However, try not to memorize as if you are reading out from a script.  Avoid talking too much: Don’t blabber too much in your response because it may lead to your interviewer losing interest in you. State your qualifications and abilities crisply and concisely.  Don’t Lie: Hiring managers expect efficiency with minimal drama and no excuses. You don’t need to put on a performance and highlight the positive aspects of yourself and be honest about your abilities. Most importantly, do not over-explain or make promises you cannot keep. Interviewers are highly experienced, and they can quickly call your bluff. So, own your truth! Avoid financial Talk: Let’s face it. Everyone wants to earn money and gain financial stability. It’s one of the most important driving forces for job seekers. However, it’s highly inappropriate to be overly blatant about this aspect in a job interview – nobody will appreciate hearing that you only want the job for the money.  Don’t undersell yourself: Although you should be humble, do not undersell yourself. A job interview is an opportunity to make yourself shine. While it is advisable not to brag about yourself, it is also important not to be overly critical of yourself.  Explore our Digital Marketing Courses & Articles in US Advanced Certificate in Digital Marketing and Communication from MICA SEO Optimization Tips: Tips , Tactics & Tricks How to Increase Views on YouTube?

Top 10 Best Jobs in IT without Programming

Coding is one of the top skills in this digital age. However, while it is handy in the IT industry, some of the highest paying IT jobs don’t require exponential coding or programming language skills.  Of course, most IT roles require basic programming knowledge, but many supporting and supervisory positions do not require any programming skills.  Top IT jobs for non-techies As a non-techie, you can opt for many, not coding-related roles that suit your abilities and interests.  Let us look at some of the best jobs in IT that don’t require any programming knowledge. 1. IT Project Manager In a tech project, there are multiple areas requiring supervision and management. The role of IT project managers is to manage as well as monitor the progress of the project from the start to its finish. IT project managers need management skills more than programming skills. However, they must have a basic understanding of the technical operations. IT managers should also have excellent communication skills for conveying the crucial and specialized areas of the project to the client. It is one of the best non-technical highest paying IT jobs. 2. IT Support Specialist IT support specialists build the setup amongst the clients and the customers. They have to learn how to use new software and equipment and troubleshoot errors. They mainly work with technical equipment and programs that do not require coding.  This role involves handling both technical aspects and customer support. You need to have the basic skills required for detecting and solving project issues. Besides having specialized data restoration skills, you should have good time management and communication skills. Learn Software Development Courses online from the World’s top Universities. Earn Executive PG Programs, Advanced Certificate Programs or Masters Programs to fast-track your career. 3. User Experience (UX) Designer Apart from just looking good, websites, software, and applications should also provide a good user experience. UX itself stands for “user experience” and how users interact with a product. UX designers need to follow the basic standards to ensure that consumers can use their products smoothly and access the required information. Their primary role is to conduct in-depth research to understand user needs and pain points and cater to their requirements accordingly. While UX design does not require programming skills, UX designers should have extensive knowledge of working with Adobe Creative Suite applications. They should be creative, research-minded, and have exponential problem-solving skills to create designs that the target audience will seemingly love. 4. Software Quality Tester The role of a software quality tester (SQTs) is to guarantee that a software product is of the best quality before it is publicly launched. It is pretty similar to quality assurance, but SQTs number customer scenarios to “break” the software to detect anomalies and enhance the product quality. Knowledge about coding and programming is not required in this field.  5. SEO Specialist SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, and the role of an SEO specialist also falls under the umbrella of the technical field. Although it is often linked to digital marketing, it also has its technical side that deals with growth rankings in search engines where the algorithms are constantly changing. SEO experts collaborate with web designers and developers to ensure that the best SEO practices are carried out.  SEO specialists must conduct keyword research, work with content teams to prioritize SEO in content creation, improve search engine rankings via page copy optimization and track and evaluate website analytics and PPC campaigns.
