What You Need To Do For Interview Success by mjksho(m): 6:06pm On Nov 25, 2014
Yes! Finally!
You jumped up for joy at the receipt of the mail inviting you for the job interview. You are extremely elated. Who wouldn’t be? You cannot even remember the number of applications you sent in your CV for but evidently, it’s worth the effort.

Then slowly, fear began to creep in, taking the place of excitement because you really do not have an idea of what to do for interview success.
This is why I’ll take my time to digest the following paragraphs if I were you.

Research properly

Begin preparation as soon as possible. Research all the details about the organization, responsibilities tied to the position you applied for and work on how you can sell your strength during the interview process.

Research from the internet (Check the company’s site and other reputable sites to get information) and people that work in the company or the same industry. Know the kind of interviews the organization usually stage for candidates so it can guide you in the preparation process if you want to achieve interview success.

Hold mock sessions

If you can, prepare a list of possible interview questions and get a friend or family member to run a mock session with you. This would help calm your nerves and allow you to review the way and manner you speak and answer questions before the interview.

Dress appropriately

A key factor to achieving interview success is picking out your interview attire a few days earlier. Try it out. Ask friends and relatives for opinions. It advised that you dress to suit the job you applied for. Also find out the company’s policy on dressing.

Prepare your own questions

Yes! You really should. You may be given the opportunity to ask questions towards the tail end of the interview. Do not evade this section if you really want to achieve interview success. Ask questions. However, they must be meaningful.

You can ask question or seek clarification about what had been said during the interview or about important changes the industry might be going through. You will be seen as intelligent, confident, and up-to-date with happenings in the industry. That’s why you have to prepare.

But if you do not have a question, you could prepare a comment about recent happenings in the company or the industry or proffer solutions if it was a problem you pointed out.
