Remember confidence is the key to success, if you converse confidently it will surely impress your interviewer. Always greet your interviewer with a firm handshake and a smile. Make eye contact while talking to the interviewer. Keep in mind that you have to sell yourself before you get to sell anything else and if you fail to convince your interviewer that he needs to buy you in the first thirty seconds then the rest of the interview will only be a time wasting event.

Prepare well by doing your homework before the interview. It is always wise to re-read your resume and the job advertisement beforehand. Have some backhand information about the company which can easily be obtained by visiting their web site. Know what salary you want as you will be asked about your expected salary package.
