During the Interview
BE PHYSICALLY PREPARED FOR THE INTERVIEW
Eat well before the interview to have enough energy. If the interview is in the morning and you are not an early riser, try getting up early before the interview.

CHECK YOUR APPEARANCE BEFORE ENTERING THE OFFICE
If you are a person who is fond of hand gestures, think of ways to minimized them. you can try putting your hands on your lap, carry a book or folder to hold and maintain your posture.
USE FAMILIAR WORDS

ALWAYS BRING ALL THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS
Be organized! bring with you any document that the interviewer may require from you. (Resume, transcript of records, pictures, certificates,etc.)
