You've attracted the interest of the company and was called to attend an interview.
What's next? Time to ace the interview! Here are some tips to help you.
1. Dress appropriately
Dress appropriately. If you have doubts whether the outfit is suitable, it most probably isn't appropriate. Trust your instincts.
2. Do your homework
Research about the company you are applied for. Know about their history, what they do, what their plans are.
3. Prepare to tell your story
Create a short story about yourself. It should cover your educational background, your previous work experiences, and how you progressed through each stage.
4. Questions interviewers always ask
Tell me about yourself
Why should we hire you
Where do you see yourself in five years?
5. Always smile and look the interviewer in the eyes
5. Use the STAR method in answering questions
STAR is an acronym that stands for.
Situation: Set the scene and give the necessary details of your example.
