In my opinion, you need to expect the questions you may be asked so you can prepare good answer. Second, sleep well, choose suitable outfit and don't be late as you should be on time. Third, show you confidence by looking in the eyes of the interviewer and don't show any hesitance.
ı have a couple of tips for a job interview. Firstly, you have to be planned and ready. before the meeting starts you have to review your personal features and occur your strong sides. During the meeting, you have to be confident and stay awake. I attended a job interview 4 months ago with the attorney company. They asked 3 questions. One of them is what are you want to feel when you retired? The other one between Money, career, good work, and good relationship which one is your first choice?
1. Show interest in the company.
2. review information about the company.
3. show your career plan.
4. Prepare your responses to questions from the interviewer.
5. Explain how your skills match with the company.
I have many tips success in any interview. Interviewer seek only three things from candidate.
Firstly, candidate experience in last job what he is works for,in which area he worked. I think every interviewer want to know nore about your experience. Experience leads to success in interview.
Secondly, knowledge about your field, interview want to know about candidates knowledge. How much you understand about your field. Thirdly, candidates personally . Is candidate hard working person or not. A company wants to person who worked hard work for company and always stands any time for company.
