Therefore, make sure that you look your best and conduct yourself in a professional manner right from the time you enter the interview venue until the time you walk out. To avoid last minute trouble, make sure you have everything ready a day before the interview right from your clothes, shoes, and accessories to your documents.

  1. Close the interview properly
What sets a job candidate apart from the rest is the way s/he closes the interview. Closing the interview on the right note is an art which involves leaving an impression on the interviewer that lasts long. Ask the interviewer if s/he has any more questions for you. Thank him/her for taking an interest in your profile, reiterate why you think you are a good fit for the position and that you look forward to hearing from him/her soon. Lastly, don’t forget to send a follow-up mail after the interview is done.

Follow the tips shared above to make sure that you stand out and leave a lasting impression at every step of the interview process.
All the best!
