It is not easy nowadays to get a job interview, so you should make the most of every chance you've got. So it goes without saying that you must be well prepared for any job interviews that come your way. Ok so what can you do to secure that job? Firstly, you should be taking steps to research and prepare before the job interview itself if you already haven't. Secondly, when you go for the actual job interview, be sure to go alone. Why do i say that? Well, imagine that you are the interviewer and one of the applicants comes along with their parents. Or friends. Or relatives. What would you be thinking? This person isn't very confident of themselves right? That's exactly what they'll be thinking. Next point: don't be late. While you may be late a few minutes from time to time with your friends, understand that your job interviewer has never seen you before. They will base your potential and ability based on first impression. So what you want to do is try to come in a few minutes early so you are relaxed and ready. Next, always be polite and friendly to the people working there. While you may be applying for that manager position and think the 'little people' may not matter, think again. Give a bad impression and after the interviewer is done with you, they are mostly going to ask around, 'so what do you think of him/her?' So it pays to be cordial and polite to the people working there. When you meet the interviewer, give a good handshake to give a good first impression. What is a good handshake. Firstly, it should not be flinmsy and lacking in grip. Secondly, you should not be trying to crush the interviewer's hands either! Go for a middle ground: Grasp firmly but not tight. Keep steady eye contact and smile while you're at it. Ok, so now we've come to the interview itself. What should you look out to maximize your chances and what should you avoid? Firstly, when you are not sure of a question an interviewer is asking, ask him or her to repeat the question. You can try to re-phrase what they were asking to see if it was what they meant. Nothing can be worse than answering a question that you did not understand. The interviewer is going to think you don't listen very well. So what other critical things you should look out for during the interview? And what about after the interview?
