General Suggestion for facing Technical Interview Facing a technical job interview can very nerve racking, if you are not properly prepared or sure how to market yourself keeping your background and skill in your mind. Mind it; you only get one chance to make a first impression, en-cash it guys. It doesn’t matter if you are seeking for your first job or in course of making a move for a change in your career path. One should have to be clear that your career goals are worthy of your skill set.  Write your Resume and Covering Letter properly and try to include professional touch to it. Don’t hesitate to get assistance from your seniors or other working professionals. Their help can really add value in it.  Always be on time, late candidate is a bad impression and it prevents from having a few extra minutes to relax and collect your thoughts. Ask for proper direction, reconfirm the date and time of your appointment, always try to reach the place of interview early by say around 30 minutes to avoid traffic conditions or possibly getting lost. Settle down with a cup of coffee at some nearby café and then hit the interview venue, you will feel completely relaxed and full of confidence.  Again, it is important to dress properly. An appropriate dress for the job can give a good impression. Try to find the dress code of the company and industry culture. Avoid heavy make-ups and perfume or cologne  Introducing yourself well, while your resume has explained your skills and experience, one should always introduce yourself properly. Be confident and start with a firm handshake and smile. Look directly to the interviewer’s eyes while answering questions. Always be prepared to answer the questions and be attentive and listen properly. Do not intrupt, allow them to finish their part and respond accordingly.  Try to relate yourself to the position they are looking for as if you are the only or perfect match candidate for the respective position. Do ample research on the company and on the position they are looking for. Try to add examples of your success and your own work experience in your answers and support your answers with latest updates and latest news in the industry to highlight your knowledge in the field.  Asking good questions always impresses everyone. An interview is not only presenting your capability for the respective position required, but also a chance to know more about the job and company and whether it is right for you or not. Ask relevant questions regarding the company and the position such as what your job profile includes, what are the responsibilities, management practices, etc. Don't bring up salary information, vacation time or personal days etc. in the first interview unless you are specifically asked.
