How to Stick Out In an Interview
Looking for job might be stressful but actually getting a call to come in for an interview boosts that stress level to new levels altogether because you are worried about messing it up and ultimately, failing to get that job you have always hoped for.
In these tough economic times, getting called in for an interview is a big step towards a secure future already as it is, but going in prepared and confident will definitely make you stand out above the rest of the hopefuls also competing to take that spot that you have worked so hard for.

1
Research the Company
Most hopefuls when going in for an interview barely know the company they are willing to work for. That is a big mistake indeed. Whoever is going to be interviewing knows you will only be impressed by one way and that is if you actually show interest in the company he is working for and by doing a little a research before going in will greatly improve your chances of winning his grace. -
2
Confidence
Confidence is probably one of the most important aspects of anyone going into an interview. There is not a single company out there that is looking for someone nervous and not prepared. Being confident about who you are and your capabilities is what will make you different from all the other professionals looking to grab that post. HR managers are not looking for those who want to waste time, but instead, are there to get what the company is looking for. -
3
Dress for the Job
One of the biggest mistakes people make when going in for an interview is either under dressing or over dressing. You should always dress accordingly to the position and that does not mean, in any case, that your clothes should be messy and untidy. Wear clean, pressed and proper clothes and if you know that the company is not against casual dressing, do not hesitate to mix things up a little. -

Come Prepared
Not bringing a resume or any other necessary documents is just a real turn off for whoever is interviewing you and it certainly deems you as unprofessional and unwilling to really work hard for the company even if the company may not have directed you to bring one. Coming as a person who is ready to start from day one is what all hiring managers are looking for and not making that impression just takes you way down a long list of potential candidates.
