Maintain good eye contact during the interview and show your confidence. Respond to questions and back up your statements about yourself with specific examples whenever possible. Show that you have great knowledge or experiences. Give the answers seriously, exhibit a positive attitude and avoid fidgeting or slouching. Be honest and be yourself — your best professional self.
Don't be late, then make excuses if you’ve done wrong and don’t make any negative comments about previous workers. Don't show any negative attitude such as talking too much, not pay attention to the interviewers, treat them casually, or worse unpolitely. Don't give a bad impression by answering without any preparation and make you look unprofessional or less of knowledge. Don't act as though you would take any job or are desperate for employment. Don't act carelessly such as sit rigidly, slouch, chew gum or smell like smoke. Don't play with your cellphone during the interview, bring a drink to the room or take your parents/pets.
