First Impression Counts
Wearing a pressed shirt could never go wrong but you don’t need to empty your pockets to impress us, just try to dress comfortably. Having said that, avoid ripped jeans and crumpled shirts. For the ladies, wearing anything too tight or too revealing will make you and your interviewers uncomfortable, while putting on casual attire like sneakers and t-shirts will make people think you are not taking things seriously. Being comfortable and presentable is key.

Put Forward Your Amazing Personality
A cheerful greeting and a smile wouldn’t hurt anybody. Doing just that when entering a room full of interviewers will put you in a better spot. Shake hands like you mean it and show us your genuine enthusiasm. Don’t come tired and uninterested because if you are, the employer can sense that from a mile away and it might jeopardize your chance even before you started.

Present Yourself
The very first thing you’ll be asked in an interview is to introduce yourself. So, how do you go about it? Do you just state your name and age and consider it done? Or do you craft an interesting story about your life, hoping it might get you noticed better than the rest of the candidates? Put your best foot forward.

Do Your Homework
An employer always finds it comforting when a candidate has knowledge about the company. We don’t expect you to know everything about us inside out, but the ability to demonstrate that you are aware of our operation; our products and our vision are definitely a plus point.

Tell Us Why We Should Select You
Don’t be shy to display your knowledge of your field because this is where you need to shine. For example, why should we hire you as our International Sales Executive for a certain region? How would you appeal to our customers from that part of the region? You yourself know best about your field and how you could be an asset for us, so don’t hold back.
