Interview is the first (if not the only one chance) to get hired for a job, no matter you're just graduated or you're a veteran in a specific work fields. And first impression is the first thing you have to win. The lucrative perks available in today’s hiring climate may encourage a candidate to forgo the basic strategy of selling his or her strengths to a prospective employer. Don’t make that mistake. Your mission is to find out what a company is trying to achieve and position yourself accordingly.
Before going to the tips, use your many research options to prepare answers to the following questions:
(-). What problem is the business trying to solve?(-). What solution can you provide?
(-). Why should they hire you?
Here are the tips :
Dress Well
Because you never get a second chance to make a first impression, be sure to dress well—especially when interviewing in the finance profession. If you suspect the work environment is very casual, ask what’s appropriate. For an informal office, men might consider sports coats
and women something less severe than a suit. Remember, there will be plenty of time to wear khakis if you get the job.

Showcase your talent and prove your value -The most crucial component of the recruitment process
Besides assessing an applicant’s skills, an employer wants to determine how the job seeker will fit the office culture and enhance it. Candidates who are hired based on the company’s perception of them as valuable contributors experience the most long-term success.
Put The Company’s Needs First
Remember one thing; To a hiring company, potential staff members who are skilled, reliable and put the company’s needs first are the ideal. The present market so strongly favors job seekers, some candidates have developed a “what is in it for me?” attitude. If the first words out of your
mouth are “What are you going to pay me?” it’s a turn-off to the employer.

Don't Divulge Salary
Of course you need to know if a job is in your desired salary range from the start, so you don’t waste time. And you may want to ask general questions about benefits you’re particularly concerned about. But there is an unwritten rule that says the first person to divulge salary
specifications loses.
Salary Negotiation
It’s all about negotiation tactics. If you, the job seeker, reveal to the employer that your salary requirement is $5,000 and she’s willing to pay $6,000, then you just lost out on $1,000. But many employers use salary as a screening device, too. If an employer has a $5,000 job, she/he
doesn’t want to consider applicants making $8,000. The best advice is still probably to save specific questions about salary and benefits for the negotiating stage. If you simply must know more about pay and other aspects of the position before you get too far into pursuing a job, online research or an insider at the company may be able to provide the information you need.
