This is nice tips. I will like to this to the above mentioned tips.
When ask to enter an interview room. You are supposed to knock the door and wait for permission to enter before entering the room. I have seen a case of someone that went for an interview. And when he was asked to enter the interview room. He just banged in the room without knowing. So the interviewer was disappointed with his rudeness. Without asking the guy question, he asked him to go out and that is how he failed the interview before starting.
And also when in the room. Before you sit, you must be permitted to sit. This are manners that is expected from the employee after they are employed to the company.
One more thing. Whenever we go for an interview, we must be bold and be convident on our area of specialization.. I could remember a book a read few years ago. It was about a man that went for an interview. During the interview he was proposed to be paid some amount of money as salary. But because I knows his worth, he said it means he is not the right person the company is look for. The interviewer now ask why. So the reply of the man was that "if I am to be paid that salary then I am not employed for my profession". We should know our standard. With the man's response, he was given the job.

Going for interview is more than answering questions correctly but to prove to your employers that you are skillful and a suitable candidate than the rest of the candidates.

You need first to have self confidence and ability not to get intimidated even when you are faced with what can intimidate you. You face the team as if you are talking as peers.

Another thing is that you need to dress modestly. Remember it is not a beauty content. So you must not exaggerate in your dressing. Wear a nice shirt as a guy and be moderate while wearing perfume and other deodorants.

Make sure you have done research about the company and practise how to face the crowd by facing the mirror while you at home. You don't need to answer all questions the correctly but you must make an attempt.

I agree with you researching about the company is very important. you don't want to be taken by surprise that a little information you would have given about the company you are applying to couldn't be supplied by you. These are the little things that employers want to find out to see how versed you are with the company and the job applied for

Yesh Definitely, if there are other skills that you believe that you can get add to your resume to make it more enticing then you can go ahead with it. you know you are competing with others so whatever you think will give you the edge shouldn't be dropped. So add more skills but it should be relevant to the job role or almost close to skills that must been stated.

I had the experiencing of doing the interview of applicants for the programming job when I was operations manager of a Japanese software house. The first thing I look at is the appearance particularly the face - he may be nervous or the opposite. During the interview, it is common to see an applicant to look tense but that is all right. What I note down are the answers to my question regarding the job. What I want to hear is their experience when there is a crisis in the job like trying to beat an impossible deadline or how to handle a bad boss. Small things are also important to me like giving the exact answers to my question and nothing more. When the applicant gives more information then that may be bragging already and I do not favor that kind of behavior.
