But pay attention, the journey has only just begun! To win, you need to define a strategy. It’s time to draw the plan for success.

The truth is you can’t control much of what happens at a job interview but that’s where your preparation comes in.
Study the company you applied for
Most of the candidates take a look at the company’s official website. In order to make a difference, study in depth the treasury, values and mission of your, who knows, future company. Recruiters do many interviews a day. If you are able to surprise them with information that not everyone knows, great for you. You start to score points in your favour.
Study the job advertisement

Get ready for the questions – Good and bad
Nowadays, in an interview, recruiters seek to know more than what your qualities are. They want to know you, your personality and even your faults. So instead of trying to hide them, it’s best to find an advantageous way to present your faults.
Don’t try to be perfect
The perfect candidate doesn’t exist. If you prepare yourself the best you can and be yourself, you will be closer to perfection. It’s normal to be nervous, it’s part of the dynamics of a job interview. The important thing is to be able to control the nerves and to be natural.
Ask questions during the interview
Prepare 2 or 3 pertinent questions to ask during the interview. Usually, the candidates are nervous and don’t remember this point. With the right questions, you will make a difference and the recruiter will remember you.
Get there on time and with good posture
Arriving late to your job interview doesn’t convey anything good, right? Try to arrive about 20 minutes before the interview and thus avoid any problem or unforeseen event on your trip. In addition, pay attention to details. First impressions are very important. Dress appropriately for the job you’re applying for.
Finally, trust yourself. Prepare yourself and take a deep breath, the job is yours.
