Tips for a Successful Interview
The impression you make on the interviewer often can outweigh your actual credentials. Your poise, attitude, basic social skills and ability to communicate are evaluated along with your experience and education.
Research the Company
This is first on the list for a reason, it is the single most important step of the interview preparation process. Before you walk into an interview, it's important to have a good understanding of the company and the role you are applying for. Spend some time researching the Company's mission, values, culture as well as any recent news or developments that might be relevant to your interview. This information can help you tailor your answers and demonstrate your interest in the company.
Review the Job Description
Before your interview, make sure you know job description, understand the responsibilities and qualifications required for the position almost by heart. This will help you prepare thoughtful answers that align with the Company's expectations and demonstrate your fit for the role. It's also a good idea to think about any relevant experience or skills you can highlight during the interview.
Practice your Answers
One of the best ways to prepare for an interview is to practice your answers to common interview questions. This can help you feel more comfortable and confident during the actual interview.
1) Tell me about yourself.
2) Walk me through resume.
3) Why do you want this Job ?
4) Why should we hire you ?
5) Give me some example of when you have done (exactly the skill they are looking for) in the past.
6) How would you go about doing (thing you need to do) ?
7) Do you have any questions for me ?

Dress for the Role
