You will want to do your best in this step because here lays the climax of all your job hunting endeavors. Spoil it here and all your endeavours from application to examinations will go down the drain.
1. Create a Great Impression
Dress as well as you can afford for your interview. Dress as an employee for the company should. In general, you should dress a little more conservative than you might feel natural dressing in. For guys, wear a dark suit. For ladies, wear a smart and business like suit.

One of the best ways to make a good first impression on your interview panel is to do a little research on the post you are applying for. This will equip you with material to answer many of the questions the interviewer will ask. One of the main points of the questions you will be asked is how your skills can profit the business. If you discover a thing or two about the post, you will find it a lot easier to answer this question. Also, dripping a few meaty titbits about how much you know about the business will go a long way in affecting the panel.
3. Watch Your Body Language
Many of the interview panel will be knowledgeable in body language, and you will discover that, throughout the interview, they will be looking for hints about your persona from the way you act, speak, and move. It would be abnormal to assume a different set of body language during the interview. Aim to take note of your body language so that at least it communicates openness and honesty.
Avoid telling lies or embellishing your answers. Experienced interviewers will always know. Always keep your palms open and try not to keep crossing your legs or your arms together. Don’t be afraid to make eye contact while speaking; just make sure that you do not come across as intimidating.
4. Display Confidence
Walk in with a purpose. Answer with a purpose. Try not to be too self-conscious. Make sure you are confident in what you say. If you hit a snag and find yourself in a compromising situation, make sure you handle the situation with confidence – even when saying that you do not know the answer to a given question.
Confidence reflects competence. Employers always look for competent people to fill their posts.
