When you receive a phone informing that you are invited to an interview for a job you have long desired for, be sure you are prepared for the best to succeed in this interview. Some tips below will help you to achieve that. 

Tip 1: Research about the company/employer: 

Recruitment interview is a very important step to get to your desirable job. If you can prove yourself to the employer that you have a deep knowledge about their company, you have made such as very good impression on them. If you want that, when entering the interview, research carefully about the company. 

Researching about the company before the interview will not only equip you with knowledge and information which will make you feel self-confident in the interview, but also show your especially care for the job. No employer may refuse such enthusiastic candidate as you. So, be confident that you have not wasted time researching about the company. 

Tip 2: Dressing: 

A beautiful and suitable dressing will make good first impression to the employer. Dressing will also show the trait and attitude of the wearer. A nice and comfortable outfit will make you feel comfortable and more confident when entering an interview. 

Note: You should choose to wear office clothing and avoid wearing Low-necked or too-colorful dress...As they are totally unsuitable to an interview in spite of their great looking. 

Tip 3: Punctuality: 

Being punctual when going to an interview is very important. One of the biggest challenges to a labor user is dealing with workers with habit of being "late". Therefore, if in the first meeting with your future "boss", you show your "habit" of being late, your chance of being employed will be decreased considerably. 

You should prepare a detailed plan: which time to get to the company? Any problem such as traffic jam or getting lost? You should be there by 15 minutes as you will have time to re-make up yourself, check the documents and make your mind comfortable to be ready for the interview. 

Tips 4: Be prepared for answering interview questions: 

There are certain questions that any employer will surely ask their candidate. For example, why do you choose this job? What are your career goals? Are you good at this job? Etc. You should prepare yourself for at least 3-5 questions of this type. This will help you less defensive when facing the employer. 

Tip 5: Be prepared to questioning the employer: 

At the end of the interview, the employer often offers the candidate a chance to questioning him any question. This is the time for you to "shine" in front of the employer, showing your difference between you and other candidates. Just asking them some questions showing your interest in the job or any special ability and skill you have. 

If this is the first interview, you should avoid questions relating to salary or compensation, number of days off, insurance policy, etc. Those types of questions will cause the employer think that you only pay attention to salary or benefit from the company rather than the job itself. They should only be asked when everything is over and finished - when you are sure you will be selected.

10 tips for a successful job interview. These rules will help job-seekers to maximize potential employment opportunities.

1. Speak clearly and enthusiastically about your experiences and skills. Be professional, but don't be afraid to let your personality shine through. Be yourself. Don't be afraid of short pauses. You may need a few seconds to formulate an answer. 

2. Be positive. Employers do not want to hear a litany of excuses or bad feelings about a negative experience. If you are asked about a low grade, a sudden job change, or a weakness in your background, don't be defensive. Focus instead on the facts (briefly) and what you learned from the experience. 

3. Be prepared to market your skills and experiences as they relate to the job described. Work at positioning yourself in the mind of the employer as a person with a particular set of skills and attributes. Employers have problems that need to be solved by employees with particular skills; work to describe your qualifications appropriately. 

4. Research information about the company before the interview. Some important information to look for includes what activities are carried out by the employer, how financially stable the employer is, and what types of jobs exist with the employer. Researching an employer during the job search can help determine more about that organization and your potential place in it. Know how you can help the company and prepare questions to ask the interviewer about the company. 

5. Arrive early for the interview. Plan to arrive for your interview 10-15 minutes before the appointed time. Arriving too early confuses the employer and creates an awkward situation. By the same token, arriving late creates a bad first impression. Ask for directions when making arrangements for the interview. 

6. Carry a portfolio, notepad or at the very least, a manila file folder labeled with the employer's name. 

7. Bring extra resumes and a list of questions you need answered. You may refer to your list of questions to be sure you've gathered the information you need to make a decision. Do not be preoccupied with taking notes during the interview. 

8. In many career fields, the lunch or dinner included during the interview day encompasses not only employer hospitality, but also a significant part of the interview process. Brush up on your etiquette and carry your share of the conversation during the meal. Often social skills are part of the hiring decision. 

9. After the interview, take time to write down the names and titles (check spelling) of all your interviewers, your impressions, remaining questions and information learned. If you are interviewing regularly, this process will help you keep employers and circumstances clearly defined. 

10. Follow up the interview with a thank-you letter. Employers regard this gesture as evidence of your attention to detail, as well as an indication of your interest in the position.
