You have to be convinced that you are the person he is looking for. If
you exude that confidence, the panel will pick it, and you are in
business. If you are jittery and not sure of yourself, you will fall be
the wayside.
So find out what the job is about, what the need is. Then come up with a
solution. Become an asset. The background information you garner about
the company will stand you in good stead in proffering solutions, and
discussing the company knowledgeably.
Before applying for the position, you would have made sure that you are suitably qualified for the post.
Dress smartly and corporately for the interview. Dress formally. Don’t
overdress, or wear something that is uncomfortable which causes you to
fidget and shift in your seat. Be well prepared, with your credentials
intact. As you come in, greet the members of the panel courteously, and
wait to be shown to your seat. Don’t be too forward.
