On the Day of the Interview

a. Before the  interview

Clean and make  up yourself,  clear  your  dress

Have  a good sleep

Have  a good bath, brush  your  teeth and  have  a shave

You can use deodorant,  cologne  or perfume,  but  remember  not to overuse  it

Try not  to smoke  or drink  any alcohol  since  it  is  very easy to cause  a bad impression

Be on time:  punctuality  is essential

Arrive  10-15 mins  earlier;  contact  if  you may be late

Go to the  receptionist  and ask for the  meeting  schedule;  fill  in forms,  if  any

b. During  the interview

Never chew gum  or anything,  do not play  with  your  hands  or dresses or hair

Turn  off  or silent  down your  phone  (vibrating  mode  should  be justified  if  there  is anything  more  important  than  the interview)

Greet  the interviewers  with  a smile  and  firm  handshake

Address the  interviewers  by proper titles  (e.g.  Ms. Potter, Dr. Smith);  it  is  ok that  you can ask how to address them

Maintain  your  positiveness

Keep a good eye contact

Be attentive,  nod showing  ―yes‖  and your  understanding

Impress  the interviewers  by selling  your  strong  points

Maintain  your  confidence

Keep using  affirmative  words such as 'I Have',  or 'I can'

Avoid  using  'Maybe'  or 'I don't'  or 'I cannot'

Avoid  slang  words or expression  such as 'uhh'  'you know'

Only  sit  down when you are invited

c.   Follow-up:

When the  interview  is  over, send  a written  letter  or email  to thank  the  interviewer  and take this  opportunity  to restate  your  strong  points  and interests  and express  your appreciation  as well.

After  a week, contact  the interviewers  to ask for  interview  results.
