  1. The first is company research. This should always be the first step and it involves gathering all the background information on the potential employers. Thus, one should be able to answer such questions as "What do you know about the company?" This will also make the interview more interactive and relaxing.
  2. Review the company's website and get what you can about it.
  3. Don't hesitate to contact the prospective employers to request information as to the position. Be sure to look for outside sources online that pertains to the company.
  4. The fourth point is to practice what your responses will be, with either your friend or by recording your responses and playing them.
  5. Think of actual examples of times when you have used your skills. This provides credibility to what you are saying and to your resume.
  6. Get ready by having your attire neat and tidy long before the interview day.
  7. Bring along your portfolio and copies of certifications and resume .
  8. Do not forget to carry a pen and paper on the interview day for note taking.
  9. Arrive 5 to 10 minutes early before the interview begins.
  10. During the interview, try to stay calm and relaxed. It is always advisable to regroup.
  11. When being interviewed, maintain eye contact with the one interviewing.
  12. Listen to the questions and wait until the interviewer is through before answering.
  13. Take note to pay attention when you are being questioned since forgetting the question will leave a bad impression on the interviewer.
