INTERVIEW DO'S AND DON'TS

DO'S

1) Arrive early at-least some minutes early

Late attendance is never excusable

2) Make your hello effect impressive

Remember that first impression is long lasting for the interviewing board.

3) Clarify questions

Be sure you answered the questions the employer already asked.

4) Give your qualification

Stress the accomplishments that are most pertinent to the job

5) Anticipate tough questions

Prepare in advance so you can turn apparent weakness into strength

6) Conduct yourself professionally

Be aware of what your body language is saying. Smile, make eye contact, don't slouch and maintain composure.

7) Dress appropriately

Make your first impression a professional one.

8) Listen

This is probably the most important "do" of all. By concentrating not only on the employer's words but also on the tone of voice and body language, like that you will be able to pick up on the employers's style.
