How To Prepare For An Interview
This is part of a new series on career related tips by http://www.education4321.blogspot.in
Research The Company
Do thorough research on the company that has called you for an interview.
Nothing impresses an interviewer more than a candidate who knows about the company. This depicts your interest and initiative taken in knowing in detail about a potential employer.
Be Punctual
Be on time. The importance of punctuality can not be stressed enough. Plan to arrive about 15 minutes early. It shows your regard for the interviewer's time. If you have to wait, use the time to go over your notes.
Dress Professionally
This is critical as it conveys that you care enough about the interviewer and the company to present yourself in a professional manner. In today's work place, most companies do not have a strict code but one must play it safe and dress formally. Avoid overdoing the attire and the look.
Rehearse
It works well to rehearse for an interview as one can prepare a list of all the questions that the interviewer may ask and rehearsing the answers can be helpful in the final one-on-one. Have a friend go over the questions with you until you are able to answer them promptly without stuttering.
Intimate References
Make sure to intimate each individual whom you have mentioned as a reference in your CV about an upcoming interview. Don't forget to request them to give their genuine opinion about your past work experience.
