The Top 100 Interview Tips. What are they?

When approaching new opportunities, one of the main and first challenges is to ace an interview since your performance will be the only impression you will be capable of demonstrating in order to be hired. Here are my top interview tips:1. Research the company before going to show that you are excited and enthusiastic to work for the company and that you aren't just throwing your resume everywhere.2. Look good. Dress properly and make sure you are in great hygienic condition.3. Always be prepared for a phone interview.4. Be confident and don't get intimidated even if it turned out to be a group interview.5. Promote yourself, demonstrate your skills and your strong point and never show your weak points.6. Never say no. If you were asked whether you know something don't say no even of you didn't - teach yourself the skill required. If you can't then being honest would be the right thing to do since you don't want to be let go in the first month you get hired in. Continue the list, lets reach100 Tips. What are your tips?

The interviewer will ask you to tell him/her about yourself. He/she doesn't want to hear your life story or an in-depth recap of your prior work history. Tell the interviewer what you have been doing lately and how you feel you are qualified for this position. Report where you received your education and how different jobs have molded your work goals. You will most likely be asked about your strengths and weaknesses. Be prepared to explain your strengths as they relate to the specific job for which you are interviewing. While explaining your strengths requires you to talk about things you do or have done well, you do not want to come off as egotistical or arrogant. When you respond to the answer about your weaknesses, do your best to make a strength look like a weakness. For example, you might say you sometimes get too caught up in your work. If you cannot think of a specific weakness to share, saddle the question by admitting that you are not perfect in every way but that you believe your strengths perfectly match the job's requirements.
