First, go through the research of the company, check out all the profiles on social media, their exact plans, their recent uploads, recently shared comments, press releases, articles, recently hired candidates. One can get some ideas from the interview story of a candidate that how did he hire? Like this, stalk every background, and start preparing according to that. Remember realistic positive thinking and prepare for some answers for these questions, this will surely ask.

Examples — Introduce yourself, From where do you know this company? Why do you need this company? Why do you want to join here? What will be your contribution to the upliftment of the company?
So, prepare all answers in a little smart way and do practice in front of mirrors and in front of your friends and family as well. It makes your confidence high.

• Organize documents
  Now, it’s time to collect facts and figures to demonstrate your achievements. You have to organize all your documents before attending an interview. Keep 2–3 copies of all the important documents such as resume, cover letter, degrees, Mark sheets, identify proofs, your photographs and you can also show your additional certificate of online learning skills.

Example — You can mention, I have learned this course and skills on the Coursera, LinkedIn, and from wherever you find. But courses should be matched to your job background otherwise that will have no value there.
• Relax your mind
Remember first impression should be appealing. Don’t waste this time if your dream job is on the line. Try different unusual thing which makes your mind calm and fresh like music, games, conversation with your friends and families. Relax! And set an alarm for tomorrow and just sleep.

To-do list during the interview

• Present yourself
Arriving early makes you observe that place perfectly. When your turn comes, maintain your body language and ask politely from the door ‘May I come in sir’. You should be formal and avoid using strong perfumes also. Wait! until the interviewers say to sit. Are you hesitating and quivering? If so, just think about the movie 3 idiots. What was Raju’s behavior in the interview scene? Be true and be yourself.
• Communication manner
Keep your answers concise and clear. It is very important to tie every answer to that job background only. Share your experience and add some unusual things that interviewers will notice and will ask questions accordingly. It makes you leading the interview. Keep eye contact and be yourself.
• Share work experiences
If you are giving an interview for some profile in the company then you should share your experiences: what was your work, for how many years have you worked before, you can show your little work on the laptop also, tell your positive strengths, problem-solving attitude, etc. In short, you have to show that by selecting you that company will find an admirable candidate also. So, just showcase such a glimpse of your positive side.

To-do list after an interview

• Be thankful
It’s not over yet. The closing of the battle is now. Whether it is a win or bloodshed, you take it all. Just drop off your thank you note. You can e-mail them. It shows you are sincere, motivated, polite, and careful about your career. Feedback is the last assertion. Thanks for the interview.
• Keep your hopes high
Keep motivating and encouraging yourself and wait for the result. Be energetic, positive, enthusiastic, capable, to join a new company. And if you are feeling negative that you can’t be selected because your interview was not so impressive then just start your preparation again and always remember this dialogue of movie Chhichhore —
Everyone has a plan after achieving success… But if you fail by mistake…. Then how you need to deal with failure….No one talks about that.
