Within the interview, while discussing your interests and aspirations, you may be focusing on saying the right things at the right time, although you could forget how your overall appearance may look.

Firstly, I noticed that my body posture seems to be very tense and that I am a bit nervous. Good posture will show the interviewer that you are prepared, professional, and confident. So sitting straight in the chair and keeping your head high as you walk in, on the other hand, do not let the interviewer see you slouched in the chair while you are waiting, so stay on your best behavior even when you think they are not watching.

So to prepare for a following interview, you can surly make a list of things that should and can be said, compared to things that should never be said. One slightest answer and / or the way you word a question can be easily become your ticket back home without the
