Be Conscious of Your Personal Grooming, Be Completely Honest, Attitude is a Major Factor

Be pleasant and easy to talk to. Don't be afraid to tell an interviewer about yourself. Be enthusiastic without being loud. Keep your voice modulated. A "Yes" or "No" is usually an inadequate answer to a question. Take the opportunity to tell the interviewer about your goals and strong points. Perhaps an important attribute will come out that you had not previously considered. Misrepresentation is usually an attempt to hide some problems that might get in the way later. It is better to deal with a potential problem immediately, in a straightforward manner, than to have it become a major issue later in the interview and perhaps result in making your entire interview suspect. If it is a matter of being unable to answer a question say so. DO NOT BLUFF. There is no substitute for neatness. Dress in a professional manner. During interview, always keep the primary objective foremost in your mind. If you are qualified for the job and feel you can handle it, say so. SELF-CONFIDENCE IS REWARDED INITIALLY BY EMPLOYER'S CONFIDENCE IN YOU -AND LATER ON WHEN YOU ARE SUCCESSFUL ON YOUR JOB.
