4. Be Prepared!
Preparation means not only preparation of your syllabus etc. but also look at the company's website and learn something about the company before you attend your interview. Many interviewers like to know your interest level in the organization.

5. Write down and practice possible questions!
If you collect the job interview sample questions and practice for it then it will make easy to remember when you get to the interview. Avoid sounding as though you assume the job is yours. Refer to the common interview questions.

It is fine to ask about the package on offer and accommodation - living in and living out are particularly relevant. Do not forget to find out if the company will guarantee a resort or chalet - many will only allocate you a country. You could also try a fewer more testing questions such as how they differentiate themselves from their competitors or what they think the toughest/hardest part of the job is.

6. You never get a second chance to make a first impression!
First keep in mind that you never get a second chance to make the first impression, so be careful.

Some points to ponder:

Smile is one of the things which may matter in your impression. Good smile always please people.
You should make your appearance professional by dressing formally.
Do not forget for a firm handshake and don't offer a hand shake unless you are offered.
Eye contact without glaring is showing your confidence.

7. Do not talk too much!
Always remember that communication is always two-way, so give them a chance. Also don't interrupt the interviewer when he/she is talking. Give him/her full chance to talk.

One common mistake candidates make when interviewing is talking too much. It is important to listen to the question asked and answer that question. Keep your answers to two to three minutes at the most. When you limit your time, you tend to stay more focused. It is very easy to stray off the subject and ramble about things irrelevant to the job if your answer is too long.
