Don,t be tensed, Hey! its just an interview.
Generally, things needed to be taken care of is your appearence, you should dreesup your self elegantly. Then your hair and shoes should be perfect b'coz they shoe how you carry yourself.

Then if it is for a job you need to do some homework on knowing about the company its several departments and the most important about the department you will be working in.

If it is for admission to a college then you should be just clear with what all you have filled in the form. Like your co-curricular activities, your percentage, interests etc. You may go through some revision on related topics.
You should reach th venue atleast 10 min. before asked.
As soon as you enter the room of the interviewer give a smile greet them and keep your face a smiling one with direct eye contact with the interviewer. And the most important you should be confident and never hesitate to say no if not knowing the answer rather giving a wrong one and falling into problems.

Just be the Best and show your best. Good Luck!

Avoid these common mistakes when interviewing job applicants

By Max Hitchins APS FASI AMAMI at: max@hitchins.com.au

There are serious time management and PR issues at stake when you handle a large number of job hopefuls. It's possible to keep them as friends and future customers, even if you don't offer them a job. But this needs a strategy.

If you run smart job advertisements, you can attact many high-quality applicants. Make sure you put filters in your ad so unsuitable people won't bother to ring, eg 'must have at least 5 years experience', 'must be a permanent resident', 'must be a qualified chef'.

Now the responsibility is over to you to handle inquiries and manage the shortlist so no one feels wounded or rejected. There is also a major time-management issue here - you can't tie up hours and days interviewing or even seeing people who would never be suitable.

Let's assume you've had a strong response, now you need to handle the selection quickly, efficiently and fairly:

* Do a quick cull over the phone and look for clues as to suitability eg a person who wants to know all about the money and the roster before even meeting you may not be the one you want, or a person who has only worked in nightclubs may not be really suitable for a waiting position. Many of their questions about the style of the business can be handled by referring them to your (good) website.

* Make an open time for selected applicants to visit eg 'come in between 2 and 4pm for an interview' - when they get there have coffee and magazines available, and see them in order of arrival. They can fill out the application form and read the menu and other information while they are waiting. Now you're using time efficiently. This is better than doing appointments on the quarter-hour or half-hour - if applicants don't turn up (as often happens), time is not wasted.

* If you have interviewed and narrowed it down to a small number of preferred applicants, ask them to think about the job and call you back if they're interested (eg later in the day) - again giving them a chance to 'opt out'. Those who are still keen after knowing all the facts will certainly ring - you now have some very enthusiastic people!

* If you have a large number of applicants, run a group information session first. Tell people to come along at, say, 5pm for an hour, and let them know all about the work, the business, your philosophy, pay rates and other information. Let them ask questions, then ask those who are still interested to stay behind and fill out an application. Some will leave, and you've had a chance to do a preliminary assessment of the others (and their interest) during the group session.

* When you've finished the session, let applicants know when one-on-one interviews will be held - this will be the opportunity for them to bring their CV along. You may also ask them to be ready to discuss certain topics eg food topics for a chef, or customer issues with floor staff. Explain that 'if you don't hear from us by Friday, it means we haven't got a position for you this time but we will certainly keep your application on file for the next three months'. This is where the right communication can keep virtually all applicants on side, even if you would never offer them a job!

* A letter to all those unsuccessful? Nice idea, but it rarely happens in the busy world of restaurants (or most other businesses), and if you've used the method above you won't have anxious people waiting for a call that will never come.

* Finally - dress the part. 'You never get a second chance to make a first impression' and if you want applicants to know you are serious about business and financial success, make sure your clothes and grooming send the right message!

Change your voice every other sentence so that anything you say sounds like a conversation between Big Bird and Mr. Snuffleophagous. When the other person is talking, wait patiently and look into his/her eyes as though you really GET what they're saying. When they pause or stop, step up onto the desk, shake your butt and sing "La, la, la-la-la!" in a high-pitched little girl's voice. At the end of the interview, grasp the other person's hand firmly while saying in a deep voice, "I've really enjoyed meeting you. We should do this again sometime. That's a hell of a philosophical quandary you're carrying around on your shoulders. Good job! Good job!" Pivot and abruptly walk out of the door.

Confidently. Also, be as formal as they are. If they are all jokey and buddy-buddy, be the same, but watch what you say. If they are stock serious, be that too.
