BEFORE YOU ATTEND THAT INTERVIEW.

Job interview is an opportunity to meet in person with the employer

Remember you are most likely to be asked the question . WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT OUR COMPANY?

2.PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
   Appear neat neat and cute. Do not over dress ,after all they know you are a job seeker. Keep your hair tidy. Remember to shine your shoe. Ladies, must you use perfume? What if the interviwer is allegic to deoderants?.Your appearance speaks volumes about you

3. MANNERISM
   Employers are looking for a corteous and respectful employee. you will be assessed in this area. Greet and smile when you enter the interview venue. The tradition is not to sit down until you are offered a sit. let them know that you appreciate it when you are asked to sit down ,simply say ,THANK YOU.

4 ORGANISE YOURSELF
  Employers valued a well organised employee.Demonstrate this at the interview ; arrange your CV and credentials neatly. When asked to tender your CV do not mistake it for other documents.Be composed.

5 ARRIVE EARLY
   Never arrive late to the interview venue. You will not be taken serious.Ensure you locate the venue before the interview date and know the best route to the venue.By arriving late .you are proned to emotional distability and nervourness ,this will have negative impact on you

6  MASTER THE INFORMATION IN YOUR CV AND LETTER OF APPLICATION
   Questions will be asked from this documents.Please and please do not contradict youself. The employer can simply test for your degree of honesty here.

CONFIDENCE
Never panick before the interviewer, they are human being like you.They were once interviewed.The secret is, do not see this particular interview as do or die affair. Put in your best and leave the rest to GOD

8 REHEARSE COMMONLY ASKED INTERVIEW QUESTIONS.
   This is the best way to build up confidence and dazzle the interviewer.
   Let your answer flow. Demonsrate that you are not under tension.

9 RAISE UP YOUR VOICE
    Never allow the interviwer to ask you to speak louder.By speaking to yourself you are showing that you are not sure of yourself.you are afraid or that you are not confident

10  NEVER ARGUE
  Interview venue is the wrong place to argue.Do not let them see you as someone who is very difficult to get on with
        SEE YOU LATER
