1] Always remember to breathe plenty and remain calm before and during an interview. You mustn't have an approach that makes you look non-talkative. The interviewer likes a candidate based on his or her friendly nature and a positive attitude.

2] Always highlight your strengths to be aligned with the job profile. This makes them feel that you are confident with the job atmosphere.
Mention your weaknesses and keep in mind to stay confident and say it being playful by not taking yourself too seriously.

3] Always point out that you believe the industry is going to reach on a higher achievable level and that you see potential for you to showcase yourself.
And to sum up the cheery...
End by saying that you would love to be a part of the journey.

4] Start by mentioning your strengths and correlate it with how you could bring value to the company and that your willing to give it your all!!!

5] Always be self-aware that when an interviewer talks about where you see yourself in 5 years.................
They only look towards you, ready to get your answer and decide whether or not to hire you. And that is if your going to stick to their company for a short or long term.

6] Remember this will determine on how you answer the question because they are testing you on whether you are willing to put in the hard work or looking to only work for the sake of it.

7] A sales mock based on your previous company should be easy for you as you must be rehearsed prior notice, but this comes in occasionally.
So...........you could also be asked to sell absolutely anything.

Trick to selling anything :
i) Always start your pitch by having a conversation on the benefits of the product (channel only benefit that you think the buyer would be interested in by asking questions about buyer's likes that could be related to the product).
This leaves a humongous impact as people only care for what could help them.
ii) Then talk about the features of the products (mention what the product can do).
iii) Finally speak about product details on its performance.

8] This is where they judge your confidence level. So don't sweat it, just calmly start by saying you know that you have a good calibre and are confident that your skill set recommends the job profile.

9 + 10] Keep in mind to always research on the company and stay up to date on it's activities.
This will give you a clear understanding on what points of the company is a success, where your intentions are aligned with the company's mission and vision.
