Do's

  • Be Pantual: If you go to interview late, anyone can guess how you will come to office daily if selected.
  • Answer with Clarity: Make sure that you have understood the question and answer to the point. Don't beat about the bush.
  • Know the expectations: Askthe interviewer to explain the job responsibilities early in the
    interview so you can relate your skills and education to the role.
  • Emphasize the accomplishments that are most relevant to the role.
  • Be professional. Mind your language and don't cut improper jokes. Mind your body language.
  • Anticipate tricky questions. Be prepared for the tricky questions so that you can turn apparent weaknesses into strengths.
  • Dress Code. Dress makes the first impression. So make a good first impression.
  • Ask questions . An interview should be a
    two way conversation. You should ask relevant questions apart from
    answering the interviewers questions.
  • Read the interviewer: This is probably the
    most important ability of all. By concentrating not only on the
    employer's words, but also on the tone of voice and body language, you
    will be able to pick up on the employer's attitude. Once you
    understand how a hiring authority thinks, pattern your answers
    accordingly and you will be able to better relate to him or her.
Don'ts

  2. Never interrupt the employer. If you don't have time to listen, neither does the employer.
  3. Don't put on heavy perfume or cologne. You should not get noticed by the
  4. Don't ramble. Long answers often make the speaker sound apologetic or indecisive.
  5. On the other hand, don't answer questions with a simple "yes" or "no." Explain whenever possible.
  6. Do not lie. Answer questions as truthfully as possible.
  7. Do not make derogatory remarks about your present or former employers or companies.
