Here are some handy interview tips that will help you get the perfect job you've always wanted.

1. Prepare Well: This might seem really obvious, but most people actually walk in for interviews unprepared. When an employer calls you for a job interview, they expect you to know the organization, the kind of work they do and their mottos. This information was not easy to fetch in the early days, but thanks to technology and company websites, all the information you need is a click away. So gather the information you need and prepare for the interview.
   
   
   
   
   
2. Practice Your Answers: You might think you know everything and you'll feel confident about the interview, but if you don't practice your answers well, you might go blank at the time of your interview. A famous interview guide states that practice is essential and the more you practice, the less room you'll leave for error.
   
   
3. Dress Well: This is one of the oldest interview tricks you can follow. If you dress well, an employer is impressed by the first look and this increases the chances of you getting the job. When you dress well it shows, and employers love to have a well-dressed staff. Dressing well also proves you're interested in the job and this automatically increases the chances of you bagging the job.
   
   
4. Stay Calm: The tenser you are, the more you'll fumble and tend to forget. Remember that when you go in for an interview, it's not a one way street where it's just you who's looking for a perfect job.The employer is looking for the perfect employee. The most important of all interview tips you'll come across is this: When you're calm, you deliver better and the best in you comes out. So focus on the positive and impress in a way that the employer is wooed.
   
   
5. Talk: An interview is not a one-way communication system where the employer keeps questioning you, and you answer. You need to make the effort to question the employer. Ask a few questions since this proves you're interested in the position and it helps in building a rapport with the employer. This is one of the best interview tricks that helps you connect with the employer before you're hired. When it comes to choosing between applicants, employers tend to favor the ones they like, so get the employer to like you.
