What are the preparations for a first job interview?

     Nowadays, the highest qualifications can't land you a job. University graduates are often called in for sessions of interview before it is decided whether you are chosen or not. Well, i know many often say do not judge a book by its cover but i believe that is not possible. This is because it is in human nature that we judge a person when we first meet them, whether we like it or not, because we do it subconsciously.  Hence, it is important to make a good impression on the interviewer at your job interview.

     One of a few tips in excelling in your interview is to dress professionally, of course. Dressing professionally shows that you want this job, that you are willing to try your hardest to make it work. I mean you would be crazy to go to a job interview in your casual clothes, right? the interviewer will think that you just couldn't be bothered and immediately cross your name out of the list of potential candidates.

     Besides that, we should be polite and enthusiastic. Who would want to have a disrespectful worker in their company? Well as for enthusiastic, a candidate who shows enthusiasm and passion in something will appeal more to anyone rather than a candidate who has a cool unwelcoming demeanor and only nods and answer one's question in yes or no.

     Also, a trick i learnt from a teacher is, when they ask you something and you don't know the answer to it, you should say something related to the question though you are not answering the question instead of saying the three word i don't know. Some would say that being honest is good but being able to save yourself from a difficult situation is all the more impressive than being honest.
