6. Prepare questions for interviewer: Prepare some questions for the interviewer you want to know about like job role and responsibilities, policies etc.

7. Dress: Your dress shows your personality on first look. Avoid loud colors, heavy jewellery, non traditional dresses, heavy makeup, T-shirtsand slippers.

8. Arrive early: Arrive 10-15 minutes early before the interview. Set your energy and focus on who you’ll be meeting with, what you want them to remember about you, and what you want to ask them.

9. Body language: Body language is the best way to communicate. Make eye contact, use hand gestures while speaking, plant your feet on the ground, and nodding your head while listening is an additional way to show attentiveness.

10. Departing: At the end of the interview, gather your belongings calmly, rise smoothly, smile and nod your head. Shake hands with the hiring manager and the person who brought you to the interview location. You may be tempted to try to read your interviewers’ body language for signals about how the interview went, but avoid that – because they’re likely trained not to give away too much. “Don’t allow any thoughts into your mind that may leave the interview in a negative way”.
