On August 4, 2025, Don Bosco Tech, Kollam, hosted an insightful guest session on interview preparation from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM. Led by Mr. Alen Alex, Project Counselor at Don Bosco Kollam, the session offered students practical strategies and fresh perspectives to succeed in job interviews.

Mr. Alen began by stressing the importance of time management and arriving early to manage pre-interview anxiety. He encouraged students to research the company and role thoroughly to give relevant and genuine responses. Rather than rehearsed answers, he emphasized sincerity, active listening, and self-awareness as keys to success.

He also highlighted the importance of non-verbal communication—confident posture, eye contact, and professional appearance—all of which shape first impressions. Dressing appropriately and maintaining a composed demeanor, he said, can make a strong impact before a word is spoken.

Two industry professionals shared their feedback: Ms. Thasni Mol appreciated the session’s clarity and simplicity, while Mr. Vivek C highlighted its relevance to the fast-changing tech industry and praised the focus on behavioral awareness.

The session concluded with a Q&A round, where Mr. Alen addressed student concerns and encouraged regular practice and reflection. The session was well-received and left students feeling more confident, informed, and better equipped for real-world interviews.

Events like this reinforce Don Bosco Tech’s mission to prepare students not just academically, but professionally and personally for future success.
