Let’s just say that your resume has made it to the interview. Congratulations, that is one step ahead. Now all you have to do is to prepare for the much awaited date wherein you have to sell yourself in front of their human resources staff. First things first is to wear appropriate clothing; no to sleeveless, backless and plunging necklines if I were you. You might as well have a wristwatch; carry a leather bag and a coat with you.

Know your resume inside and out. Make sure to do a thorough research of the company that you are applying and anticipate questions. Consider it old school but questions about strength and weaknesses are almost ubiquitous. Practice makes perfect so make a list of possible questions and do the answering by yourself if you can’t grab a friend to do it for you. During the interview, relax, be yourself and break a leg!
