1) BE CONFIDENT IN YOUR ABILITIES :
Remember you have to be confident that you are the best candidate for this internship. Be energetic and communicate in a polite way , have good posture whether in-person or online in a zoom meeting and smile! Write down all your abilities that you have the utmost trust in and be ready to answer any
kind of question.
Be prompt and do not delay your meeting by arriving late. No amount of last minute preparation will help and it will only make you more tense. Make sure you are neat and tidy for the interview and make a great first impression!
Learn more about the company , read the job description, remember the ways you could help the company with your skills, most companies show their business information in the ‘about us’ or ‘work with us‘ page. This will help you ask more questions about the firm which shows how serious you are about the internship
and answer some basic questions about the firm.
Map the journey to the interview place in advance to avoid getting stuck in traffic . Remember to check your internet connection and your audio/video feed to avoid any hassle. Get all your documents ready to go. Get your interview dress ready a night before. Prepare three to five maximum key points that you must
mention in the interview.
Don’t loiter around the place , be patient to create a good impression. Speak crisply and take some time to think for a question if required. Answer honestly if you cannot answer a question, make yourself as comfortable as you can while maintaining your polite stature. Take some time to comfort yourself and stay focused , avoid any loss of focus due to straying thoughts and be sure of your opinion with
respect to any question.
Don’t be overly critical of yourself and review your performance after a few days, if it is your first interview take it as a never done before experience!
