There are several important points that have to be taken note of before attending a job interview.
Get as much information on the company by which you are being interviewed. One of the most important questions you could face during any interview could be that why do you want to work for that company. You should make a through study of the company and arrive at a conclusion beforehand as to what the company is expecting from you. And your answer should be according to what the company expects. This does not mean that you should fake your response to get the job. You should first make a study whether the job suits you and whether you are suited for the job. Any job you take, should suit your long time career interest as well as your talent.
Your posture is also quite important. Sit straight and don’t cross your legs. Don’t smoke before you attend the interview and smell of tobacco. And ladies don’t overdo your perfume and smell like a perfume factory.
Don’t hesitate to ask questions during an interview. Your clothes, your manners and your behavior are all extremely important during an interview. Your clothes should be immaculate and conservative. Your shoes well polished and hair well combed.
Take all the required papers and have extra copies of your resume, references and certificates.
Make it a point to arrive at least fifteen minutes early. Be polite to every one you meet. It is possible that boss might ask his secretary as to what she thinks of a particular candidate.
Just because the interviewer appears casual, don’t lower your guard. Always be professional during an interview. Maintain an eye contact with the interviewer. Don’t either be shy or over aggressive. You should be calm and self confident during an interview. You should be very careful of your body language. Your response to any question should appear to be honest.
