• Quick tip… Go with the thought process with the thought that - you will NOT get this job. You have nothing to loose, but to be yourself
• Before interview – Research about organization – Research and understand the job you are called for
• During interview – Greet warmly and keep it short – Be a good listener… talk less, listen more – When a question is asked, take the opportunity to explain – Show your willingness to learn quickly and be productive…
