Imagine walking into a room where one conversation could change your career. The interviewer smiles, the questions start flowing, and suddenly you realise,  it’s not your degree or your grades being tested, it’s your ability to think, speak, talk about your skills and carry yourself under pressure. This is the reality of every job interview, and yet, too many candidates walk in unprepared.

Reports by Times of India, Economic Times, NDTV etc., highlight a serious issue plaguing India’s job market: job interview preparation is lacking. Only about 32% of job seekers feel truly ready for interviews. That means nearly seven in ten are going into interviews without confidence or sufficient preparation. Among freshers (less than one year experience), that figure is even bleaker, only about 20-21% feel prepared. Patrika News

What Are Some of the Key Causes of Unreadiness

• Lack of practice & feedback: Think of an interview like a performance. You wouldn’t walk onto a stage without rehearsing your lines, yet that’s exactly what many job seekers do. Most candidates have never sat through a mock interview or received constructive feedback. The result? They only discover their weak answers, nervous habits, or poor body language in the actual interview, when the stakes are highest.

  
  

• Digital fluency lag: Those who use digital tools like mock interview platforms or AI-enabled preparation report much higher confidence than those who don’t in surveys.This isn’t surprising: technology allows job seekers to practice repeatedly, analyse their own performance, and get used to the format of modern interviews, many of which are now virtual. Those who avoid such tools often enter interviews cold, unfamiliar with the pace, structure, or expectations of digital hiring processes. The result is a clear confidence gap that reflects not just knowledge, but readiness to adapt to today’s interview formats.

  
  

• Experience gap: More experienced professionals (6+ years) tend to feel more interview-ready vs. early-career ones. Professionals with 6+ years of experience feel more interview-ready because repeated exposure teaches them how to present and handle tough questions, while freshers often struggle without that practice.

  
  

Why does this matter? Because being unprepared in a job interview doesn’t just cost you that job, it undermines self-belief when you are starting out your journey. In competitive hiring markets, that gap between potential and preparedness often defines success vs rejection.
