Mycollege provides you with the valid key points for successful job interview. Follow these simple rules and you could achieve success on your job-hunting.
Know the exact time and location of your interview. Arrive early. 10 minutes prior to the interview start time should be fine.
Bring 2 - 3 copies of your resume and a list of references with you to the interview.
Before entering into the room, enquire by asking, 'May I come in sir/madam'.
Offer a firm handshake, make eye contact, and have a friendly expression when you are greeted by your interviewer.
Do wait until you are offered a chair before sitting. And do remember the body language and the posture, sit upright and look alert and interested at all the time.
Listen carefully to the interviewer's question before replying. Ask for clarification if you don't understand a question.
Your answers should be two to three minutes per question unless you are asked to explain it in detail.
If you do not know the answer to a question, it is better to acknowledge it, rather than trying to bluff through it.
If you make a mistake, don't feel bad about it. Continue concentrating on the rest of the interview.
Stress about your achievements but don't say any negative information about yourself.
Have a high confidence and energy level. Ask intelligent questions about the job, company, or industry.
A positive attitude is the most important facet of a successful interview. Give positive answers to negative-based questions.
What Not To Do...
Don't chew gum or have bad breadth (including smoking).
Don't have your cell phone on ringing mode during the interview.
Don't be nervous. Be cool and confident.
Don't make excuses. Take responsibility for your decisions and actions.
Don't make negative comments about the previous employers or professors or others.
Don't be unprepared for the typical interview questions.
Don't give the impression that you are interested only in the salary; don't ask about the salary and benefits issues until the subject is brought up by your interviewer.
