What SHOULD be done
1. Prior Planning. Conduct extensive research about the company to which you are applying to. Also, conduct mock interview questions and practice answering them.
2. Relax. Nonverbal communication is critical during an interview.
3. Give a firm handshake. Shaking the interviewer's hand is basically the selling point of the first impression.
4. Be positive. Speak of the things which you can do in great details, and don't speak down of previous employers.
5. Talk about your resume. Your resume is your life saver.
6. Be a problem solver. Employers look for individuals who solve problems, not cause them.
7. Ask questions. Asking the interviewer questions reasserts your interest in the job opportunity and it could potentially allow you to talk a bit more about your strengths.
