This is common to be scared before going to attend an interview that also if i is the first job interview. But the easiest way to avoid this scary feelings is just think about your school/college days when you had to attend the viva. Though these two things are little different but still those past memory will help you to build the basic level confidence in you. So here I will be discussing the step by step process that will help you to prepare yourself for an interview.

Prepare Your Resume

Before going to attend any kind of job interview, first prepare your resume according with the job profile, for that you want to apply. Do the ground level research about that particular job profile. I mean, you should have the knowledge required for that job profile. High light those particular project or certification courses on your resume that related with that job profile. But be careful, you should have the proper knowledge about those project and courses. Because it is normal that an interviewer will be more interested to ask you question from those part of your resume.So take time to study some tricky / popular / uncommon question on those subject.

Research About the Company

Now is the time to do a little research about the company. For this go to the nearest cyber cafe or in the browsing center and take help from Google. Just open the Home page of the company website. And try to point out few important points like CEO of the company, objective of the company, mission of the company, head office of the company, current affairs and trends etc. Try to learn as much as you can about the company it will be better if you talk with some employee of the same company. research current affairs and trends

Prepare Your Dress

Be careful in this part of the interview preparation, because this will make your first impression and this should be great. Present yourself in light colour formal cloth. But make sure your outfit is comfortable and fits well. Don’t wear too much colorful cloth. Give proper attention to accessories by wearing nice, clean shoes and try to use minimum jewelry. Use a nice file to carry your all the document. You should keep all the document properly in the file. Below I am giving a list of dress code.
