Are you on Job Hunt? Do you feel Unsuccessful and Unfulfilled? I presume I can give you hints which made me successful...

I also think that job interviews are nerve-wracking and tear-inducing in the same way you do. My goodness they are.  All in all, making a job interview fall under the “successful” category takes preparation and commitment. You already know that you have work real hard to get where you are and that you are looking for improvement in your career.  And same time also you know the situation on job market. Might have sent 100s of resumes and you might have taken all the right steps that you can take. After waiting for Months and Years suddenly your mobile rings and it says “Yes, we'd like you to come in for an interview. Is next Tuesday at 10:00 alright with you?”

Now where are you going to initiate? First you need to know your resume very well. Sure that you know by your heart. Re-examine your resume being the person who is going to interview you. Then Visit this particular company website (if they have any) and take note about them such as Corporate information, Press Releases etc. Gather as much as information you can.

Okay now here comes the real challenge. Now the first Question comes to you is “How should I dress? And what should I dress for this interview”.

• If you are a boy then the best outfit should be a light colour Shirt with black Trousers.  

• For Ladies is a two piece skirt/trouser suit, preferably in a darker or neutral colour. Black, navy, or gray are best. The top always should be a blouse with three quarter or long sleeves. Let's talk about earrings. 

• Many women have pierced ears. For your job interview, wear one simple pair of small earrings. If you have more than one set of holes, leave them empty. If you have any other visible piercings, do not put any jewellery in them. They do not look professional. 

• If you are a guy, leave all of your earrings at home if you want the job. 

• Men, get a haircut and a shave before a job interview.

• Men, make sure you are wearing Socks and Shoes that match your Pants. For instance, do not show up in white Socks with black Shoes/Pants. 

• Ladies, wear good neutral heels. Nothing fancy, just a dark, medium heeled that goes with your outfit. Make sure your purse/handbag matches your shoes. Black is always a great idea because it goes with most things.

There you go.. you are all ready to go... Now, arrive about 15 minutes early for your interview. Do not chew gum or suck on a mint or eat candy. Just sit and relax and wait. Say a pleasant “Hello” to the receptionist but offer nothing more. Anything you say can and probably will be used against you. When the interviewer comes and introduces herself or himself, stand and give her/him a firm handshake as you introduce yourself. Do not grab him/her too much. Be very warm and friendly. Just imagine you're meeting an old friend from high school. Remember: First impressions are really key.

Now time to show your colours.. Really listen to the person who interviews you. People love to talk about themselves. Get the interviewer to do most of the talking. Respond to what they say. Make the interviewer feel important by complimenting him or her. Everyone has an ego. IF the interviewer comes in to personal relationship building start grabbing his information as well. This will make a bond between the two parties. Talks open hearted. Don’t let them feel that you are hiding information. Laugh together. Laughter in the interview will help you land the job. But never go beyond the limit. Don’t even think of arguing. This will help them to come in a decision as you are short tempered.  

Same time you have to really concentrate on the language. True the used language might not be your first language. But try to avoid using poor language. Same time you need to have high confidence and energy level. Don’t ever show you’re desperate for this job. Don’t ever lie. Answer questions truthfully, frankly and succinctly. And don't over-answer questions. Last but not least ask at least few important questions back from them at the end of the interview.

Say "Thank you." Show them you appreciate their time. People want to feel valued. When you're done, ask yourself: "Was this just an interview, or did I start a relationship here?"

One last reminder: How ever you face the interview "Don't forget to smile"

After the job interview is over, you still have some work to do. Send a note or e-mail to thank the interviewer for his or her time and consideration, and let them know that if they need any further information, that you are happy to provide it. It will show them that you are really excited about the position. If they have interviewed many applicants, then following up like this will set you apart from the pack.
