Step 1 : Start by researching the company and
your interviewers .

•Understanding the specifics of the company you are applying for can
help you pass the interview with confidence. You will be able to
estimate how your experience correlates with the information
published by the company on the website and in social networks and
what exactly in your experience makes you a great fit for the vacancy.
Step 2 : Dress for
interview success.

The first impression you make on a potential


employer can make a big difference in the
outcome of your job interview. Therefore, it
is important to look in accordance with the
company’s dress code. Nevertheless, the
classic style (shirt, pants, shoes) will always
look better than the informal one (sweatshirt,
jeans, sneakers).
Step 3 : Try to handle stress.

•Try not to focus on negative thoughts. You can imagine that a person
you know is sitting in front of you instead of the recruiter and you are
presenting your experience to him. This will help you feel more
comfortable and confident
Step 4 : The power of gestures.

•Crossed arms can appear defensive and offputting. Try to


be focused and confident, which will immediately have a
positive impact on your interviewer.
Step 5 : Prepare smart questions for your
interviewers.
•Interview is a two-way street. Employers expect you to ask questions:
they want to know that you’re thinking seriously about what it would be
like to work there. Here are some questions you may want to consider
asking your interviewers: What my day-to-day responsibilities on this
position will be? If I were in this position, how would my performance
be measured? How would you describe the team culture? What will be
the next step of the selection? If there are no questions left to the recruiter
by the end of the conversation, then you can say that during the meeting
you have already received answers to all your questions and thank him
for the meeting. For candidate it is better not to initiate the question about
wage. If the recruiter did not ask you about this, it means that he already
has this information, or he intends to clarify this at the next stages of
selection
Step 6 : Be positive and friendly.

•Smile.You should not talk about experience in a negative way, even


if it took place in the past. If the recruiter did ask you about this, then
talk about it as neutral as possible and emphasize what useful lessons
you could learn from this situation.
