Watch your excitement level as you clear the rounds it may pinn you down..be confident and steady .Dont jump to conclusions while answering think from all possible angles.
Mind your body language you shouldnot sound unsound. Final 2 is somewhere ur in HR round so HR'S are the ones who looks for your personality and confidence who will assign you the job.Win over them its importent that you keep your eye contact while conversation.Be thorough with your skill sets and the role which you can play in the company and tell them how well you can handle such situations. Open up and think yourself in his/her position and try to analize if u were in their position what kind of emplayee you would like to take.Thanks a lot .Hope for the best

I am 70m years old and have had many job interviews in my long career. I have ALWAYS been selected , and offered the job.
Read so very carefully what the company is asking the person to do. Give them this information back in several different ways.
Give a list of references on the day of the interview that is rel event to the position.
Research the company and the job. I always go out at least two days and watch people come and go from the business. I see how they are dressed, what they drive, how their hair is cut etc. When I show up for the interview, I look like I am already on the team.
Because I am good at what I do, I exude confidence that I can exceed the expectations for the job.

Usually what I do after I get through the initial stages of an interview and they call me in for the next round, I ask the first person I interviewed with if there is anything I should know about the next person I'm meeting with and what I should be expecting. I ask this because the first person who's giving me the green light to move ahead to the next round obviously thinks I'm qualified enough, so it's almost to his/her benefit to give me some pointers to succeed and in a way make him/her look good in selecting me.
Also, after your first interview, it's always a good idea to send a thank you email and to keep in touch if the process is taking longer than you expect. Your communications with the company when doing this should be kept at somewhat of an informal level because, after all, these are potentially going to be your co-workers one day and they need to see an easy-going side of you that they will be willing to work with.

Having been an interviewer for 15 years for the postal service, it's been my experience that some people just do not interview well. I usually chalk it up to a case of the nerves.
In some cases the interviewers do not know how to interview properly and have predetermined expiation's.
I'm not saying that is your problem with jobs. Try to think about the interviews you had and build off those.

A lot of times the interviewer knows who he wants to hire before the process. Connections are the best way to land a job. The fact that you got so far in the interview process means that the interviewer actually considered not giving the job to his nephew.

Why not ask the companies that are rejecting you? They might gve you a bland bs answer but it's possible they'll give you the truth. You must be pretty good to always get down to the last two so whatever weakness you have can't be a major issue.

Call the last 3 places you interviewed at and politely ask them why you were #2 and not #1. Maybe you were chewing gum, or had a nervous laugh, or maybe they felt your skills were slightly below the other candidate. Be BOLD, ask them.

instead of complying with all their questions, and be a yes person, make your own stand on what you can contribute to their company if they employ you. Do a background check on what the company does, and tell them in what way you can help the company earn more money if they hire you. Or in what way you can help them cut down their expense cost.
If I am the owner of the company, I would want to increase my profit if I hire you.
