Q&A for How to Have a Good Job Interview

Do your homework! Search under every rock and stone to see if you know someone who works at the company and can give you insight into the interview process or even put in a good word for you — check your social media sites, LinkedIn, friends, family, neighbors, colleagues and classmates. Research each of your interviewers and the company in depth and study the job description. If possible, prepare answers to the most commonly asked interview questions.

Sure! You should have good and calm posture while making eye contact and smiling to create a better connection with your interviewer. If possible, research the company and its interviewers beforehand so you can better prepare yourself.

Just present yourself with confidence. Be sure to answer the questions asked using the research you've done and give clear, concise answers.

Perfectionism is one. A tendency to micro-manage ("If you want something done right, do it yourself") is another. If you have to mention your weaknesses in an interview, it's best to also talk about how you're working on them and even, if applicable, how you've improved in these areas.

What would my responsibilities be? What does the training entail? Who will be my supervisor?

Thank the interviewers for their time and smile pleasantly as you leave the room. After an interview, you will have to wait for the outcome. The interview panel or boss have to decide to either hire you or not hire you. Another thing you can do following an interview is to send the interview panel or boss an email, thanking them for the interview.
