It is always great news to discover that you've been invited to interview for your dream job. However, after a moment of joy, you start thinking. What do I wear to the interview? How do I speak? How do I say my name? All these questions you ask yourself are directed to making sure you are at your best so that the employer falls in love with you and employ you. The good news is that we’ve compiled this list to help you out. So, jump in!
Prepare. We know that sounds like a no-brainer, but we often overlook it that we end up wishing we had not. Preparation includes getting everything you'd be going with, from your pen and notepad to an extra copy of your resume. Pack the things you'd need as well as the ones you'd wear early to avoid forgetting anything.
Research the company. It is natural that your interviewer expects that you know a thing or two about the organization. The inability to answer when asked about the basics can lead to a red face moment. Making research may even give you insights into how they conduct interviews, which would come in handy just in case they still use it.
Update your social media handles. Employers these days do not joke with the online presence of their employees. Ensure your social media handles, especially the official ones like LinkedIn or Twitter, is free from anything that may paint you badly.
Finally, it is important that you do not lie about anything before and during the interview. You don't want to give any information different from one in your resume or a false statement that could be discovered later.
