Another stressful part as a beginner on your Job Search is prepping for a job interview, the experience can be scary, especially if it’s your first one — but preparation makes all the difference.
Below are the guidelines on how to ace your next interview:
Before the Interview
Research the company
Read the job description carefully
Prepare answers to these common questions:
“Tell me about yourself”
“Why should we hire you?”
“What are your strengths?”
What to Wear
Clean, neat, and professional
Avoid flashy clothes or strong perfume
It’s better to be overdressed than underdressed
During the Interview
Arrive 10–15 minutes early
Greet the interviewer politely
Maintain eye contact

Be honest — it’s okay to say you are still learning
After the Interview
Thank the interviewer for their time
