HOW TO MAKE GOOD IMPRESSION IN JOB INTERVIEW

Common mistakes that candidates make in job interviews, including not preparing enough for the interview. Candidates should be ready with clear statements about their experiences, goals, and achievements. This begins with the first contact with a potential employer, and in formal and informal interviews. The resume is also important, and should be easy to read. it should say something meaningful about a candidate's accomplishments and goals, and how those are related to the available job and the recruiting company.

 

An important way to create a great first impression is to dress well. For example, if a company's dress code is business casual and you are going to interview there, should you dress in sharp business casual attire or in a suit?

If you are highly uncertain about whether your dress is appropriate, call the human resources department and inquire about the appropriate interview dress (Formal or Casual)
