With the birth of a baby, the expectations of his bright and successful future start emerging in the eyes of his family. As he grows up he starts working on making these expectations come true. He spends his whole life in studying. He does so just because of the belief that one day his hard work will return all his instalments. This belief leads him towards making his name in studies.
After completing his degree, the phase of getting job came. At this stage, all the students want to achieve a good job because they struggled hard for that day. Let's see the definition of Interview by Wikipedia.
"An interview is a conversation where questions are asked and answers are given. In common parlance, the word "interview" refers to a one-on-one conversation with one person acting in the role of the interviewer and the other in the role of the interviewee. The interviewer asks questions, the interviewee responds, with participants taking turns talking. Interviews usually involve a transfer of information from interviewee to interviewer, which is usually the primary purpose of the interview, although information transfers can happen in both directions simultaneously. One can contrast an interview which involves bi-directional communication with a one-way flow of information, such as a speech or oration."

Unfortunately, most of the members failed to get the job. Many people are jobless besides having remarkable degrees. This is due to the fact that they failed in clearing the interview. Still giving a bundle of interviews they did not hire. This phase is much devastating for a person and it will lead him to depression.

The success of a job interview starts with a solid basis of knowledge of the organization. You should understand the need for a job. Do homework about the employer so that you would answer the questions about the company. The more research you conduct, the more you will understand the employer. Try to relate the knowledge you gain about the company in your answers. Completely understand the nature of job and skills required for that. A successful interview will be generated only when you know what you are applying for. If you don’t even know the nature of job it will generate a negative impact at examiners.

All the things like a resume, CV(Curriculum vitae) or reference list must be prepared a day before the interview. Be calm and don’t think that an executive is sitting in front of me. Talk to all the members politely like you do with others. Overthinking and getting afraid will make you rejected.
>>Make an impressive first impression

It’s one of the famous quotes we are all familiar with. Often while entering the room of executives, interviewers lose their confidence. They step in into the room with a lot of nervousness on their face. The executives initially get an idea about their edgy behaviour. So, hide all your fears and wear confidence. If you are confident then sometimes they get impressed with your cool behaviour and accept your application.
Make them fascinated with your personality and words. Try to show some unique and plus point of your personality so that they feel something special in you. Almost every candidate is confused and nervous. So, try to overcome your shyness so that you may stand out.
>>Correct your body language

Your body language says a lot about what you are. An active body language impresses people while a dull and down body language will mask all your skills and talent. Your talent is tested after the approval of your personality. Body language can consist of the way you walk, sit, stand or talk. You should stand properly with a straight neck. Don’t bend down while sitting rather sit active and straight.
