The key to a good interview is through preparation. If you have prepared yourself well, the interview will most likely run smoothly and you will present yourself confidently.
As soon as you are invited to attend an interview—or, better still, before you are called—start researching facts about the company. Probably, you will have done some re search before sending your letter of application. Now you need to identify additional information, such as the number of persons the company employs, specific fields in which it is involved, work for which it is particularly well known, its major products and services, places of branch offices, and the company's involvement in community activities.
You also need to prepare for different questions an interviewer may ask to test your readiness for the interview and the sincerity(诚意)of your application. You may be asked:
-Why do you want to join our organization?
-How do you think you can contribute to our company?
-Why do you want to leave your present employer?
-What salary do you expect?
If you have not prepared for such questions, and so hesitate before answering, an inter viewer may interpret your hesitation to mean you find a question difficult to answer or there are things you would rather hide. In either case, you may provide an entirely misleading impression of yourself.
