The Actual Day Of Interview

Here are some pointers for the day of interview.

Proper dressing. Do dress appropriately for the interview. For guys, if you are applying for an executive job to be on safe side do wear a tie. Do take your meal before you dress up just in case you mess up your attire while having your meal.

Things to bring. Original documents and an extra photocopied set of them. Would be good if you bring your own pencil, pen and correction liquid. The last thing you want is to scramble to look for a pen if you do not bring one or the one provided runs out of ink or is smudgy. Yes, do bring mouth wash if you think you may have stale breathe.

Attitude and Appearance. Be prepared mentally and physically as this will shows in your attitude and appearance. Have enough sleep the night before. Looking tired and haggard is not the image you would like to portray to your prospective employer.

Be punctual. Be there at least 15 minutes before interview time. This is to give ample time if you need to go for toilet break, calm your thoughts or if you need to fill in application forms.

Turn off your cell phone. The last thing you want is distraction to yourself and the interviewers. So if possible, turn off your cell phone one you reach the office of interview.
