do's : Eye contact, Honesty, confidence, mutual respect, open mindedness, realistic expectation.

Dont's : Lie about your qualifications, wear an unsuitable work attire, avoid eye contact, talk too much and don't listen. 

What to do First gather the largest amount of information about the activity and size of the company and the size of its business and know the largest amount of information about the activity of the company and the quality and size of their work and methods of work and the extent of their spread in the market and of course know the extent of matching the type of job with my experiences So as not to put myself in a job greater than my abilities because it will be a weak point in the interview will cause my attempts to circumvent the interview until I raise my qualifications in an illegal way and if not circumvented my position in the interview will be weak because I am less than required .. If honesty is required with a little bit of beautification This is not a circumstance, but it is an indication of the extent of my psychological equilibrium, whether with clients or colleagues at work .. The clarification of experience is required, but with titles so as not to put myself to the provisions of my suitability for the job and disqualify the referee who runs the interview, this may not be suitable for some .. Not to develop the expertise of my experience, even if the experience is great because I make you educated to learn because I must clarify that no matter what I got the experience For the job do not learn more and tell the company what I know and what I will learn from this function .. Finally not to collapse psychologically if I found that the interview takes the curve of non - approval I stop the positive energy that I should enjoy from the beginning to the end .. I try to reach him that even if The interview is not successful because I have benefited from it that gave me new experience In dealing with interviews and if I did not get the job, I have benefited from other things of information and new relationships
