- Gather as much information as you can about the company or organization that has invited you for the interview. This will give you a clear idea about the philosophy, work environment and reputation of the company.
- Read the job description carefully as to what they expect from you. Evaluate your qualifications, experience, and core competences, areas of strength and accordingly draw up a questionnaire along with your replies to the expected questions.
- Interviewers normally ask you to highlight your positive and negative traits. Positives can be emphasized more but even the negative traits can be presented in a positive light. For example, ‘I am a little impatient with the people who are not focused enough, or non serious about the work in hand’
- Do not forget to confirm the date and venue before you head for the interview. Sometimes the interview schedule can get changed or cancelled or you have somehow missed the communication.
- Arrive 15 minutes early for the interview.
- Put together in advance a copy of your Resume/The Application Form and the original Interview Letter along with all your Testimonials. Organize them in such a manner that any paper can be presented to the interviewer(s) quickly as per demand.
- Dress Up Formally – Men should keep to a smart suit, shirt, tie and a pair of shoes for the day. Ladies have to choose their dress more carefully, taking into account the type of organization, its culture and the product line etc. A neat business suit or an Indian dress can be chosen. No Jeans, Floaters or Funky Shirts
- Go with a positive frame of mind.
