Steps

  1. Research about the company's profile and background. Arm yourself with the knowledge about the industry to impress your employer.
  2. Set your mind to why you are the best candidate for the job, and explain what you can do.
  3. Prepare your questions too. Participating actively during the interview gives a good impression of interest on the job.
  4. Learn to listen when needed.
  5. Know your resume, especially your weaknesses. Prepare to defend them.
  6. Be aware of your posture - stand straight without slouching.
  7. Mentally prepare for the interview by taking deep breaths. Focus on a positive result which will work better for you.
  8. Don't munch on junk food while waiting for the interview. You wouldn't want to shake hands with crumbs with the employer.
  9. Don't play with your chair while waiting to be called.
  10. Secure your clip-on tie so it won't fall off during the interview.
  11. Consider printing your resume on scented paper. Be distinctive!
  12. No lunch bag please.
  13. You must dress professionally! Suits usually look best.
  14. Practice, practice, practice your script to boost self confidence. You will shine!
  15. Go to bed early the day (or the days) before the interview. Showing up at the company looking fit instead of sleepy leaves a much better impression.

Tips

  • Preparing for the job interview should be taken seriously. The competition against another candidate with a better qualification is fierce. Preparation helps you keep what's in your mind, and not slip it when you're in a most uncomfortable position. An interview is the key before a company hires you, so you better discover how to sell yourself before meeting with the prospective employer.
