1. Knowledge about the company.

2. Mock interview.
First mistake that most of us will do in the interview room is a blank look that we give which creates an uneasy situation for the interviewer to question you and few considers us to a dull person without any stuff. The best way to avoid this is by having confidence in you and trying to hide your internal fear which is achieved by attending mock interviews or practicing with your interview considering your friend to be the interviewer.
3. Dress yourself for success.
Your appearance is crucial. This extends to your clothing selection.
Make sure it’s not flashy, but appropriate for a business setting. Take extra time to prepare before you leave your house.
Again, you may want to try on some outfits and ask suggestion to your friend who will be honest in their assessment.
4. Professional filing (Resume/Documents).
Take with you copies of your resume ,cover letter, other relevant documents as your mark sheets, TC, Bonafide certificate etc. and a perfect pen. Another important factor in filing things is that you have to arrange the documents in the order that’s easy for u to provide interviewer the docs when needed or when an interviewer examines your file,he should be able to get all the best credits at a glance. (Always keep resume at first)
5. Be early.
This may sound like insensible but if you keep them waiting you have virtually no chance for success and last minute appearance will also create stress ,tension and fear (Just imagine your running to the interview hall, sweating badly, panting like a dog ) . Show up at least ten minutes early. If the interviewer happens to be ready before the scheduled time, it will make you look that much better in their eyes if they can start the interview at their convenience.
6. Gesture and non verbal communication.
Nonverbal communication such as the eye contact ,warm smile,perfecting sitting gesture etc will tell your interview what kind of attitude you have .So give a warm smile when you are brought in for the interview. Give a firm handshake, and express your gratitude for the opportunity to be considered for the position.
Don’t be too gushy when talking, as this will come off as groveling and will make you seem too needy.
Be confident and concise in your answers.
7. Be comfortable.
The interviewer knows that you’re bound to be a bit nervous -– it’s human nature -– but you want to come off as cool as you can. Wait to be seated and then move your chair a little closer to the interviewer to make yourself look more interested. Don’t sit too close, but close enough to let the interviewer know you’re serious.You have to be seated in the limited comfortable zone ,don’t squeeze your hands, don’t keep your legs wide apart,don’t put a hunch bag .
8. Eye contact is crucial.
Maintaining eye contact is one of the biggest ways to show your sincerity. It lets the interviewer know you’re listening to what he or she has to say.
You want to be careful that you’re not staring, but also try to limit the amount you look away or around the room. You want to create an impression that you’re comfortable in this setting, and eye contact is one way you can make certain that you’re doing so.
9. Follow up with a thank you letter.
Always remember to thank the interviewer and depart with a warm smile what ever may be the decision he made earlier,or expressed his unlikeness over the course of the interviewer,Within a day or two you should send a thank-you letter or e-mail reiterating your gratitude for the opportunity to interview for the position.
