      Job interviews can undoubtedly be the most difficult stage to cross. It can't seem to get any easier even though one have gone on more interviews in his life then he can count. Meeting new people and selling yourself and your skills are always difficult each time you go in for a fresh interview. Here are some suggestions that will help you in preparing for an interview effectively. Proper preparation can help lessen the stress of a job interview to an extent.   Self-assessment: The first and the foremost step to begin with is your self assessment. This is the most important and vital part in preparations for a job interview. Here you can do assessment of your talents, abilities, interests, current skills, strengths, interests and work values. This will help you know your true capability and therefore will give you confidence.    Updating your resume: After the self assessment another important task is to build or update your resume as per your skills and abilities. The resume should ideally be in bullets with as less description as possible. Making it clean and simple will eventually attract the interviewer and encourage him to go through it from top to bottom.   Research: Do research about the company where you are going in for an interview. The better way is to visit the Company’s website first and get knowledge over what the company do, how they operate their business, what are their major products, who are their potential customers, what is their recent turnover and most importantly learn about the seat you have applied for that include your future job responsibilities etc.   Practice for typical and targeted interview questions: After completing the research part it’s time for you to prepare for the basic and most frequently asked questions in an Interview. Some of these questions are given below. Why are you interested in this company? Why are you interested in this position? What are your greatest weakness/ strengths? Why you left your previous job? You can practice these questions with a friend, career counselor or in front of a mirror. This way you can improve, enhance, develop, or revise your answers and or delivery. Final preparations: Select suitable attire that you are comfortable in, keeping in mind the culture of that organization. A business suit is always a good option. Make sure your suit is clean and well pressed. It should be of proper fitting. Try to reach your designated place 10 minutes before time. Be confident in your movement and posture, asks for the business cards from every interviewer. Inquire about anything relevant that you need to know about the potential position or the company. Do not ask about the salary or benefits. The interview may be your first and the last opportunity so try to make it count.

  It is perhaps the very difficult to sit in front of someone who is the master of that work for whom you are being interviewed. So just try to be confident and relax and be a bit original. Don’t try to be over smart by using some accent in talking and ending up being looking foolish so it’s better to be original.
