Cracking Tips

Remember these TOP 10 Gulf Interview Cracking Tips:

1. Greet your interviewer with a firm handshake and a smile, address your interviewer by his / her first name, and look into the eyes while talking or listening.

2. Never sit until asked to.

3. Before going in for the interview, make sure you try to get as much information about the organization and the job position as possible. Visit their website, read about them, inquire about the job position and the salary range offered etc.

4. Read your own Resume thoroughly. Chances are someone else made your Resume. Be sure you know the dates of your previous jobs well too.

5. Be sure about the exact location of the office, and how you can reach there. It is advisable to reach at least 10 to 15 minutes early, so you can be well adjusted.

6. Dress smart. Don't dress too flamboyantly. Be decent, stick to formals. Look confident & successful.

7. When asked to say something about yourself, DO NOT talk about non-work, personal life. No one is interested in it, except yourself. Stay right on the path related to work, your duties etc. Remember never ever to speak in negative tones about your past organization.

8. At the end of the interview, the interviewer may ask you if you have any questions for him / her. Be enthusiastic and ask some questions about the organization, it's goals, about the job position etc. Do not forget to thank the interviewer for the time they took out for you.

9. A Thank You Letter should be sent after the interview, particularly if you know the interview went well and you are interested in taking up that position. This will refresh the interviewer's memory and keep you on top of the list. If you do not receive a response a week later, go ahead and call.

10. If you went for the interview through a recruiting agency, then let them know whether you are interested or not. Many a time the organization is waiting for an answer from the employee, before they say yes.
