ABSTRACT

This chapter provides some key ideas regarding the advice to a person about to be interviewed. Before you go for your interview find out as much as you can about the post for which you are a candidate. Appearance counts for a good deal with interviewers, and a knowledge that you are suitably dressed improves your own morale. Make certain you know where you have to go and whom you have to see. Be on time, and get to the interview without rushing. Remember that most interviewers and interviewing Boards are out to discover the best work that candidates are capable of doing. Speak clearly, and not too quickly. Speak up particularly if the interviewer is old, since he may well be hard of hearing. Sit upright and not just on the edge of your chair. Avoid fiddling. Look at your questioner.
