Appearance

Your appearance and body language create the first impression as you enter the room. Give utmost importance to the type and colour of clothes you wear, as well. The code for such an occasion is to be dressed conservatively. It should be simple. You need not wear expensive clothes. Clean clothes would, of course, create a good impact.

Body Language

Many candidates focus on oral and written communication and ignore the body language. The way you project yourself is also through your body. Your posture whether standing or sitting and hand movements while talking can be a distraction. They can draw the attention of the interviewers from your responses. Avoid those kind of distractions.

You want to convince the interviewers. Don’t try to be smart. Honest and frank opinions are appreciated far more. Your resume is the basis on which the questions are put to you. Since many questions would be from what you have specified in the resume, be thorough with it.

Your language matters. The kind of words you use while expressing your thoughts are crucial. Do not use slang. Avoid big words. Simplicity is the key for communication.

One must do

It is important to be absolutely relaxed before the interview. Arrive well in time giving enough margin for travel and breakdown of vehicles. Sometimes locating the venue can take time too. A clear 15 to 20 minutes should be fine. It will help in gathering your thoughts as well.
