Now that you have mastered the first step of the application process and have been invited to an interview with your potential new employer, you naturally want to make the best possible impression.

How to prepare for your job interview.

Firstly, find out about the company you have applied to. Visit the company's homepage and find out as much as you can about the company's background and product.

Practise a job interview with a friend who asks you questions that the potential employer might ask you.

Choose the right outfit for the job you are applying for. A suit or costume is not always appropriate. If you have the opportunity, get an idea of what the employees are wearing beforehand, depending on their rank. The shoes must match the rest of the clothing.

Make sure your hair and fingernails are tidy.

Turn up about 15 minutes earlier than your interview starts. This shows punctuality and makes an important first impression.

Bring a copy of your CV to the interview as well as other documents that you can show during the interview if they are relevant to your skills. It's all about impressing the potential employer.

When you meet your employer for the first time, smile and shake their hand confidently but not too firmly.

Listen carefully to all questions and answer them as truthfully and confidently as possible.

At the end of the interview, thank your interviewer for taking the time to talk to you.
