You have to communicate firmly through body language and verbal expression to the interviewers that your educational attainment, skills, relevant experience and outstanding performance is a perfect fit for the job.

I totally agree with Mr. Fazlur's answer. May I just add that aside from proving that you're a perfect fit for the job because I presume a lot are fit for one specific job, you must also show that you are passionate towards the job not just qualified. Ask more questions about the job to display an interest for the same.

Start by gathering data on your interviewer(s) and the company

Assess the data and draw some initial conclusions

Consider how to weave in your own credentials: Now you know more about where you’d fit into the team

Develop questions that reflect your hypotheses

Listen for clues in your initial discussion

Write a thank you note that summarizes conversational themes

Few key points-

1) My non-verbal communication must be as per standards, variably explained in various write ups.

2) Must have completed homework in term of clarity about the Company and various related variable.

3) Resume need to be standard talking key performances in term of facts and figures including awards, recognition, certification etc.

4) Must have gone through JD of the position and be assured that I perfectly fit into expectations held from this position.

5) Must be confident, self-assured and at the same time, soft, well & freely communicative and it must not be virtual form rather, be reflected in my body-language.

6) If I see/feel that interviewer is not appearing to be impacted/influenced, should take liberty to translate interview-questions in giving behavioural interview type answers. 

7) Also if suitable rapport is formed between Interviewer and interviewee, prompt him to go for behavioural-interview type of questioning so that he may have practical feel about my performance

Crux of the issue is that I must be before interview as Candidate be sure that I perfectly fit into slot and is loaded with needed competence, suitable qualification and experience.

And in spite of all this, if I am not getting selected then I need to and would believe that Interviewer either had different design or isn't an effective interviewer/assessor or had some other candidate in mind. In that case, when he will give chance that 'if I want to ask anything', I must try to extract the feel/reason of it.

I think I'm all administrative job role of the total jobs in their roles the latter and the extent of coordination and communication between them purposefully to solve problems and conduct of operations in the direction of achieving the goals and the belief that everyone has his role in the group without the indispensable because the one who determines the exit or the continuation of a person in the performance of his role is the social behavior on for example laziness, lack of separation between work and life outside of work lack of honor and honesty lack of enthusiasm ....... etc environment and then if the work environment and the team performed its roles properly would choose then for new people who are ready to enter the work force is important to the environment very training and educating and goal setting for the characters selected for the position of what and how to play its role so as not to suffer the same employee does not work for small and large mistakes environment with address any deficiencies in the roles quickly and is warning his role Balkhtae committed by usually three warnings so as not to be separated from his job. .. Justice is the basis of progress in the job, income, and I see that which defines it as I mentioned is abnormal behavior for humanity ... I may not have expressed my view correctly I may be, but ultimately the work and life of two sanctity can not be separated from each other without work there is no life nor no life without work

 

We must strive to be the technological development and communication tools to be a good opportunity for the human element and development not because eliminate the human element and indispensable.

This is your chance opportunity to personally promoting the all important things that you read the employer. As it should also be noted that the personal interview is a double way you conducted a major search of the company before submitting your order to them, but the personal interview is your chance to find out more information about the company, and interview some of the people who work the company and decide on whether these represent your company where you wish to work in it or not.   Setting personal interviewA search for the company

Convince Them That You Really Want the Job

 

 

There’s really nothing new in this Chronicle of Higher Education article–we’ve been offering similar advice forever–but reminders are always welcome of the importance of convincing a potential employer that you’re eager for–even passionate about–the opportunity. This goes for industry jobs at least as much as academic ones. Nobody wants a new employee who comes in lacking enthusiasm.

 

Note that this doesn’t mean you should get all bubbly or do lots of pretending. In fact, if you don’t really want the job, you probably shouldn’t be wasting their time or yours. Your “interviewing experience” might be costing another candidate–someone whose enthusiasm would more than offset your superior pedigree or whatever–a shot at a dream job, and your own time could be better spent seeking a position about which you’re truly excited. If you don’t want the job, get out of the way.

 

Having written that, I now believe it’s a little too simple. Certainly there are reasons to accept an interview for a job you’re not sure you want. The best reason is that you can’t really know for sure until you’ve done the interview and learned more about it. You might decide during the course of the interview that it really is a great opportunity.

 

Another reason for interviewing for a job you don’t think you want is because you think you have no alternative. If it’s true–if you really will be defaulting on your mortgage, or if you’ll be deported (or something) without that position and its salary, fake it, take the job, get that visa, pay those bills. But if you’re merely worried about turning down a good opportunity–even if it’s not the one you want–I think it’s best to be patient. Keep exploring. Think hard, look hard, and look beyond the usual suspects. Just as you wouldn’t want to marry someone who’s just ‘good enough’, you shouldn’t settle for a job you won’t be excited about showing up for. And if you don’t know what that perfect job might look like? Be patient and keep exploring. 

And if, over the course of an exploratory interview, you decide you really aren’t excited by the job, what should you do? You may get a range of advice on this subject, but here’s mine: Be very gracious, but be honest. Thank them effusively for considering you, express respect for their institution (or company) and the opportunity they might offer you, then tell them that you’ve decided the job isn’t quite right for you. Save them the trouble of trying to figure out how much you want the job.  If you handle this well, they’ll thank you for it.

Secrets of the personal interview success
