The most tensed time in everyone's life, When we receive first Invitation to an Job Interview in any big organization.
I failed once and I failed twice in written test i appeared, but third time i cracked the written test and recieved an Invitation for personal Interview to the Job.
This was my first major Interview and I self-believed that i will be able to crack it successfully.
I thought to take it easy and approach it just like a formal conversation in our normal life.
This approach worked wonders and the panel of Interviewers were convinced with how i attended this interview and was hired for the Job.
Normally people are totally stressed before attending personal Job Interviews.
You may take One Job Interview or 50+ Job Interviews before you land your first dream Job.
Never lose faith in your abilities, Always have the belief that you are the right person for the Job.
Remember we lose in our minds and not in person.
I landed my first major Job after two years from completing my graduation.
I never lost faith, self-belief and more importantly I never gave up.

Below I am sharing some common tips which I applied in getting my first major Job and may be uselful for candidates looking forward to landing their first dream Job.
10 useful tips to crack a Job Interview:
1. You can do mirror tests to prepare before a Job Interview.
2. Take a normal and light breakfast or lunch before the Job Interview, never ever go empty stomach for a Job Interview.
3. Dress comfortably and use formal clothing for Job Interviews.

5. Appear confident while appearing for a Job Interview and it will start with formal shake of hands.
6. Even if you are unable to answer a particular question, reply confidently that you don't know about it, don't try to pretend and present false guesses.
