Does the idea of going to a job interview make you feel a little queasy?. Many people find that it is the hardest part of the hiring process. But it doesn't have to be. The more you prepare and practice, the more comfortable you will feel.Increase your odds of landing the job you want by brushing up on your interview skills.
Prepare before you go.
Find out all you can about the company before you go to the interview. Understand the products that they produce and/or the services that they provide. It's also good to know who the customers are and who the major competitors are.

It will also make you feel more confident and relaxed. So, practice your answers to common questions. Make a list of questions to ask, too. Almost all interviewers will ask if you have questions. This is a great opportunity for you to show that you have done your homework and have put some thought into your questions.
Make a great impression.
The interview is your chance to show that you are the best person for the job. Your application or resume has already exhibited that you are qualified. Now it's up to you to show how your skills and experience match this position and this company.
The employer will be looking and listening to determine if you are a good fit. He/she will be looking for a number of different qualities, in addition to the skills that you possess. To make the best impression, dress appropriately; sell your strengths; arrive early, by about 10-15 minutes; be enthusiastic; shake hands firmly; be an active listener; sit up straight and maintain eye contact; ask questions.
Say "thank you".
After the interview, follow up with a thank-you note. This is a chance for you to restate your interest and how you can benefit the company. Your best bet is to try to time it so that the note gets there before the hiring decision is made. You should also follow up with a phone call if you don't hear back from the employer within the specified time. Check out some samples.

한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.

❌ I will prepare the interview tomorrow.
✅ I will prepare for the interview tomorrow.

한국어로는 "면접을 준비하다"라고 해서 'prepare the interview'라고 직역하기 쉽습니다. 하지만 영어에서 'prepare the interview'는 면접 자체를 기획하거나 만든다는 뜻이 됩니다. 면접에 대비한다는 의미로는 반드시 'prepare for the interview'라고 전치사 for를 붙여야 합니다.
