Dress appropriately. Arrive in good time. Polish your shoes. Bring any appropriate exam qualifications that you might need with you, any references that you might need, any evidence of anything that sets you out above the crowd. Don't chew gum. Look people in the face and answer their questions in sentences, not in "yes no" answers, have something to say for yourself, know something about the company you are going to work for, what they do at least, understand what your duties will be and demonstrate by your answers that you are capable of carrying them out, have a couple of questions - no more than a couple - ready for when they ask you "Do you have any questions". Stuff like: "If I'm succesful in this post, where do you see me in five years' time?" Anything that shows you are interested and committed.

In short, imagine somebody sitting on the stage in a Jerry Springer show AND DO EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE!

Don't worry you are in good hands.



First if possible try to know about the firm. Because they do ask why do you want to join if you are going in a firm.



Follow this:

1. Use nice dress if possible.

2. When talk use louder voice and talk with confidence.

3. When sit on a chair, do not cross legs keep back your back straight.

4. If you have done anything good in previous job you can mention that too.



5. Try to answer slowly and firmly.

6. Before sleep do some imagination exercise that you are in real interview and you got job do it until you feel it in real then sleep.



7. If you are nervous type then better practice in front of a mirror.



I am not aware of your job, so I can not be specific.

Being helpful is the main to get for the period of the interview. As there is far less time left for the interview there is not any longer likely plenty u can do. Revise even if you think of you're smart at. look contained in the eyes of the interviewer so as which you look extra helpful. think of properly previously you start up answering the question. desire you success cheers

Dress clean and casual. Smile a lot, sit straight, use a lot of eye contact, shake hand firmly, relax, speak slowly and be confident...good luck!
