Reading Time: < 1 minute

To avoid unforeseen obstacles, plan your schedule for interview and keep interviewer’s contact information handy.
Dress appropriately for your interview, carry your identity card – in-case building might have security check.
Carry extra copies of your resume and cover letter because you may be interviewed with more than one person & also keep references ready in case asked for references.
Constantly beeping or ringing phone can create distraction during interview, so make it a priority to turn your phone to silent and keep it away in your bag during interview.
Mentally prepare yourself for weird questions.
Go for the interview alone, never go with your friends, or boyfriend or girlfriend.
Be polite, professional and attentive during an interview. Start with introducing yourself and on a positive note. During an interview try to learn as much as possible about the job and be ready to sell yourself to the hiring manager.
Be honest in your answers to the interviewer.
Ask for the Job responsibilities in brief and discuss about your career aspirations and future growth prospects within the organisation. Have a list of questions to ask when you are given a chance to ask questions you have for them to answer. If you are not prepared well in advance, it is difficult sometimes trying to come up with a meaningful question off the top of your head.
Finally, you should thank your interviewer in person for taking the time to interview you.
