Be on Time
Candidates who are late loose half the battle, not from the outside but from the inside. You are late and you tend to panic. There is no focus on the purpose why you are there and how you should spend the first few moments to create first impression.




Be to the point
When asked a question be very precise and to the point. If you talk beyond what is asked you are giving unnecessary information which may not be favoring you. Most people put themselves in difficulty saying undesirable things about themselves.

Right attitude
Some people play for fun or to pass time. Others play to win. Your attitude should not show that you need this job desperately. Neither should you show that you don't care to be their. The best message to convey is that you are there because you like the job description and always wanted to do the kind of work.

Dress to impress
You win half the deal with smart dressing. In a bunch of candidates the chances of a well dressed male increase by two times then the ordinary dressed one. Also be particular to carry yourself well. Walk straight and convey an active attitude. Sluggish movements like support one side of your body or limbs on the chair are easily noticed.

Ask the right questions
When it is your turn to talk ask all the right questions that will sketch a clear career path for you. Remember this is the time you can clarify all doubts. After joining you will kick yourself for some answers which you will never find easily. Typical questions to ask are:

• What is the project about?
• How can someone like me grow in this organization?
• What was the reason the employee working in this position left?
  

Research the company
Visit the company's web site and read about its business. Read about the most recent changes in the organization. Read about the company goals and expectations. Then incline yourself to those parameters and project yourself as one who understands what the company wants.

Thank you note: After the interview is over call up or e-mail to thank the company representative for taking their time to interview you.
