Start with analyzing the job description and understand the roles and responsibilities. Gain insights from the "About section" on the Company's website to know what kind of candidate they are looking for. This is the first step in your preparation which will let you know whether this job even fits your skills or not.

Once you are sure that is job is really meant for you, do in-depth research on the Company and the services it offers. Research about its reviews on Glassdoor.com and Ambitionbox.com to have a sneak peek in its inside culture. You can also visit Indiabix.com to see if former candidates have shared their interview experiences over there.

An Early Preparation helps

Your resume would be the most important thing you would want to keep in your bag. Before that, sit down in peace make sure you draft it in the best possible way. Understand that a lot of questions will be asked from it so make sure you don't over express yourself.

Once you are satisfied with the contents of your resume, you should then start preparing for the common interview questions and their answers. Getting familiar with the prospective interview questions will keep your confidence high during the interview. Another important piece of advice would be to keep your statements crisp and precise while practicing. You can practice speaking about your skills and what value you can add to the Company.

You can also prepare a set of questions that have crossed your mind while you were analyzing the Company's website and ask those questions if given a chance in the interview.

Practicing with Mock Interviews

 The best way to prepare before an actual interview is by taking part in the mock interviews. You can give the list of questions you have prepared for your friends or family and request them to observe your gestures and see where you can improve. Such inputs can greatly enhance your performance in the actual interview. 

Brace yourself

You need to plan other basic things like what you will wear and keep it ready beforehand. The clothes should be well ironed and neat. For boys, if you think your beard needs to be trimmed or hair needs to be cut, then do it.

Eat light yet nutritious dinner and try not to overstuff food. You do not want to attend the interview with burps and hiccups. At last, get a good eight hours of sleep. And, avoid thinking about the following day.
