General interview tips

Preparation:
If it is going to be a technical interview, review the relevant books before the interview.

Common questions:
Talk to your friend who might have attended the interview earlier.
Ask him the questions asked to him.
That can give you a rough idea of what to expect.
Prepare for those questions and believe me, you will feel a lot more confident if you do this.
Write down answers for the common questions like "Tell me about yourself".

Checklist:
Get your certificates ready. Keep a photocopy of them with you handy.
If you are asked to get references, get them ready the previous day.
Have the invitation letter with you unless it is a walk-in interview.
Few copies of your passport size photographs will be very handy.


Know the company:
Know the company you are going to attend interview for.
Look at the company's website.
Learn the products the company is dealing with.
Read press releases related to the company.
Talk to any of your friends or known persons working in the company.

Punctuality:
Be on the spot of the interview well on time.
Do not use public transportation facilities. You may endup late or have your dress in shambles.
If you cannot make it in time, promptly call up the contact person and inform him.
