Don't entirely depend on your skills. You should prepare well for an interview. Do you know how to go about it? Take the help of a friend or a family member to be your mock interviewer. Make a replica of an interview room. Then take the following tips for both your mock and real interview to be successful:
Do your bit of homework
Know what all you can about your potential employer. Share this information with your mock interviewer so that you can be grilled properly.
Watch TV interviews
Carefully watch people being interviewed on TV and get lessons from it. See what makes them (people being interviewed) likable.
State that isn't obvious
The most popular question at an interview goes like this: Tell us about yourself. Instead of speaking about your experience and skills and what you have achieved in your present position. Tell something about your attitude and traits that aren't obvious and relate them to your work and performance.
Visualize what you can do
Think about what you can do and speak about that. If you have nothing to fall upon to symbolize your capabilities, look for some of your interests or talents that aren't mentioned in your resume and explain them interestingly. Don't dig your work history.
Know your answers
Memorize a few quotes that help you articulate your answers and field any question.
Sum up your career
Usually you are asked to tell about yourself. Be prepared for this. Maybe you are being asked to give a brief overview of your career. You should prepare a short succinct synopsis of your career.
Make it like a walk in the park
Think of probable tough interview questions and give them to your mock interviewer so that you will be grilled in that path. Also look for chinks in your resume and ask your friends put questions on them. If you prepare yourself like this, your real interview will be just like a walk in the park.
Get your mock interview videoed
You can ask somebody to video your mock interview and then study your dy language to know whether it is disclosing confidence, poise and enthusiasm.
Listen to your replies
Listen to your replies and analyze them. Ask yourself whether you will be hired on the basis of these responses. If needed, make some amends to your responses.
Be relaxed
Before attending the interview, be relaxed. While you are waiting for the interview, work on a brainteaser that calms your nerves and takes your mind off the interview.3
