As a part of recruitment team, I observed that, even the most intelligent and competent job candidates need to be ready for the interview. 

You might be curious as to why?

Since you only have one chance to make a good first impression, interviewing techniques are something you can study.

You can convince the hiring manager that you are the best candidate for the position by using these interview tips to help you respond to questions during the interview.

Develop the habit of communicating well nonverbally.

It all comes down to projecting confidence by standing erect, maintaining eye contact, and giving forceful handshakes. 

Your first nonverbal communication could be a great way to begin or end the interview.

A good video for you. must watch : 

Put on appropriate work or business outfits. Look professional.

These days, informal dress codes for interviews keep you from looking like "them." Being well-groomed and knowing how to dress for an interview are essential. 

The dress code of the organization and the job for which you are seeking will determine whether you should wear a suit or something less professional. 

If at all feasible, give the recruiter or employer a call in advance to find out their dress code.

Pay attention

Among the most important interview techniques is paying attention. Your interviewer is giving you information from the beginning, either directly or indirectly. 

You are losing out on an amazing opportunity if you don't hear it. Listening and acknowledging what the other person stated are crucial communication skills. Take note of the interviewer's demeanor and cadence and imitate them.

Do not look here and there during interview. Maintain your eye contact with interviewer. 

Our recommendation : 

Avoid Talking Too Much- Most important

Providing the interviewer with more information than he needs could be a disastrous error. 

If you haven't prepared in advance, you can ramble on when answering interview questions and ultimately talk yourself out of the position. 

Read the job specifications carefully, make sure your talents align with the position's requirements, and only bring up relevant information during the interview.

Discuss point: May be your first question is the last one.

Tell Me Something About Yourself” 

I am willing to share the guideline with all.  So that you must prepare yourself to win the confidence of the interviewer to prove

"why you are the right person for the job."

I observed in a number of cases that this question might be the first and last one for mid- and senior-level

Point to remember

• Connect personal strengths with supporting examples.
• Focus on details and outcomes you can quantify.
• Avoid summarizing your resume word for word.
• Mention past experiences and proven successes.
• Align your current job responsibilities to the role.
• Avoid mentioning personal information related to your marital status,
  children, political or religious views.
• Highlight your personality.
• Avoid rushing into deeper conversations about the role and company.
• Connect your skills to the job description.
• Briefly mention about hobbies, intellectual development and community involvement.

Avoid Being Too familiar 

The interview is a business encounter for executives. 

This isn't the place to make new pals. Your degree of familiarity should reflect the style of the interviewer. 

It's crucial to ask questions and show enthusiasm and energy during the interview, but don't go above and beyond what is expected of a job seeker.

Make Use of Proper Words

It should go without saying that during the interview you should speak in an executive tone. 

Avoid talking about age, racism, religion, politics, sexual orientation, or any other inappropriate slang terms at all costs as these subjects will quickly wear you out.

Avoid Being Ignorant

You need to look your best in order to do well in an interview. 

There is a delicate balance between acceptability, professionalism, and religion. Even if you're putting on a show to prove your abilities, being overconfident ruins a situation just as much as being too quiet. 

If you are discovered to be an overconfident individual to work with, no amount of interview tips will be of any assistance.

Be Careful When Responding to the Questions

The purpose of interactive interview questions, which ask about specific instances of your past behavior, is to get a sample of your past behavior from the interviewer. 

Not only are you unable to provide a credible example in response to the question, but you also miss the opportunity to demonstrate your ability and share your expertise.

Address Queries

The majority of candidates say "No" when asked whether they have any queries.

This is not the proper way to respond. Being ready to pose inquiries that demonstrate interest in the business's activities is a necessary skill for interviewing. 

You'll be able to determine if this is the right place for you by asking questions. The finest questions arise from paying close attention to the questions asked during the interview and then following up to get further information.

Interviewer : “So, do you have any questions for me?”

Questions about the specific job

What goals do you have for me in this position?

What is the most crucial task I have to complete within the first ninety days?

How does this place go about its performance reviews? 

What is the frequency of my official review?

What standards or objectives will be used to assess my performance?

Which projects would I embark on first thing in the morning?

How much longer before I'm... [interacting with other departments, managing my own accounts, dealing with clients, etc.]?

Questions about the team

What types of skills is the team missing that you’re looking to fill with a new hire?

What are the biggest challenges that I might face in this position?

Do you expect my main responsibilities in this position to change in the next six months to a year?

Can you tell me about the team I’ll be working with?

Who will I work with most closely?

What other departments or units will I interact with?

Can you tell me about my direct reports? 

What are their strengths and the team’s biggest challenges?

Questions for your potential boss

If the interviewer is your boss, you want to ask questions along these lines as well.

How long have you been at the company?

How long have you been a manager?

What’s your favorite part of working here?

Questions about the company

One important note here: Don’t ask things that you can easily find with a quick Google search (more on this in the “Questions to Avoid” section).

What are the current goals that the company is focused on, and how does this team work to support hitting those goals?

What gets you most excited about the company’s future?

How would you describe the company’s values?

How has the company changed over the last few years?

What are the company’s plans for growth and development?

Questions about the culture

How do you typically onboard employees?

If the position will be remote, ask specifically about how remote employees are integrated into the company culture.

What do new employees typically find surprising after they start?

Is there anything that I should read before starting that would help me have a shared understanding with my colleagues?

Asking this question not only signals your interest in the position but also shows that you’re eager to have “shared cultural references with the people you’ll be working with”.

 
What’s your favorite office tradition?

What do you and the team usually do for lunch?

Do you ever do joint events with other departments or teams?

What’s different about working here than anywhere else you’ve worked?

How has the company changed since you joined?

Avoid Coming Across as Needy

You appear weak and desperate when you go into an interview with a "please, please employ me" mentality. 

Remember the three Cs during the interview: cool, collected, and confident.

Bonus Advice: Focus on Your Responses

Make sure the interviewer knows as much as you do that you are qualified for the position. 

One way to achieve this is to prepare thoughtful responses to the questions they are most likely to ask. Do you need help with this at all?
