Jobs are hard to come by and most people do not even get offered any interviews. But there are some individuals who are getting interviews and they often mess them up.

Once you have been invited for an interview, chances are that the company is interested in you. So you have to make an extra effort to know who your prospective employer is.  Before rushing to the interview, get to know something about the company. Find out how long they have been around, what they do and their general business. Today, we have the internet and there is absolutely no excuse for not knowing before hand something about the company.

When you arrive for the interview you will often be asked “What do you know about the company” and saying “Nothing” is not a great answer. You have to say some thing better than nothing. T

he other thing important for the interview is the dressing. Unless you are going for an interview at a fast food store, you need proper attire. Look decent; wear appropriate clothes- coming to an interview in wrinkled  clothes shows that you do not care much about the job- and the feelings will quickly become mutual. Always carry copies of your resume and a pen. The more effort you make, the greater are the chances that you will get the job
