Resources
When you get a call for an interview, you can't afford to waste any time. The very first thing you can do is research and study about the company you are visiting for an interview. You can browse the company's website in and out, read brochures, articles and more about the company online. You don't really need to read or memorize all the information. However, it is important that you know a little about the organization.
Next, you need to prepare yourself with a list of a few basic questions like your weakness, your strength, reasons to quit the previous job, etc. No one else other than you yourself knows about your strengths and weaknesses. Think and prepare your answers for such questions. You should also know how to cut off your weakness and make a futuristic goal. A goal helps you to focus on improving yourself and also will enable you to see if the company will offer to help you reach that goal.
Wear the right attire. Ensure that you have your outfit ready a day before the interview. Apart from your attire, your body language and confidence also plays a vital role when you are going in for an interview. Stay calm, don't be nervous and be confident.
A lengthy resume does not really help you get your dream job! Get rid of your traditional and lengthy resume, if yours is still in that format. No one has the time to go through it. Draft it in a way that will grab the attention of the interviewer. You can view the latest resume samples online and draft your resume accordingly.
Don't rush and reach the office at the last minute. Try and reach it15 to 20 minutes prior to the scheduled interview time. Don't get nervous or try to take in any new information. Shake hands firmly and greet the interviewer with a smile once you are in the interview room. Be confident enough and maintain eye contact throughout the interview. Posture always defines the confidence level. Sit erect like you would sit in your school days in the classroom. Do not interfere while they are talking. Listen to the whole conversation attentively and then initiate with your answers. Later, you can shoot up with your set of questions, such as the nature of work, if any training is required, etc.
Once you are done, remember to end it with a 'thank you'. Best of luck in your interview!
