What you need to know and do before attending a job interview

Want to look for a better paying job? Why not stick to business? Whereas business is the surest way to becoming rich and wealthy, you can as well as invest part of your your salary into equities such as mutual funds, stocks, REITS, property, etc. You can even use your payslip to take up loans for business or property development. Hopefully, you’ll retire while still young but rich and wealthy. Here are a few tips that you need to know before attending that job interview:

1. Do your research about the company. Never walk into an interview without knowing about the products and services provided by the company. Find out about its corporate culture and future projects so that you can demonstrate how you can contribute to the company as it continues to grow. Have a solid understanding about its mission and values so that you can inquire about the company's aims. 
2. Plan your schedule - Find out the exact location of the office where you will be interviewed and make plans to arrive at least 15 minutes before the interview. If you must, look up bus schedules or plan alternate routes if you anticipate traffic jams. It is impossible to recover from a late arrival at your interview, so avoid being late altogether.
3. Dress appropriately - Dress a notch above your day-to-day work attire. For example, if everyone wears blue jeans to work, arrive in dress slacks and a sport shirt (for men) or in a skirt and a blouse (for women). If applying for a job in an office environment, both men and women should wear a business suit.
4. Rehearse - Prepare a list of interview questions you can expect to be asked at an interview. Know what you are going to say before the interview. To be best prepared, write down your answers, and go over the information several times the day before the interview. Ask a friend or relative to assist as you practice answering those questions in a mock interview. Despite all the practice, however, always anticipate questions you did not expect to be asked. Such questions help to demonstrate your adaptability and ability to think on the spot.
5. Prepare - Prepare two or three questions to ask the interviewer. The questions should seek some specific information about the responsibilities of the job, future projects, and organizational structure.
