Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Hi, I have given almost more than seven interviews, since being a fresher & first attempt CA. Qualified I received call from Big 4s & many other companies.
Something that I find common in almost all the interviews is that:
1. One should go through over your CV, as it is the basis of most of your questions. You should be able to share your articleship experience, client dealing & your work in a proper manner.
2. Be confident throughout your interview irrespective of whether you know answer to the question asked or not. Infact, when I gave my interview in PwC, I remember I was unable to recall few of the current affairs in a row, but I politely & confidently addressed that situation & I feel its my confident that made me pass through the tough situation & made me to be the part of PwC.
3. Be honest. No matter what. Don't lie your interviewer.
4. Be presentable. Try to be in formal attire as it reflects professionalism.
5. Answer with a smile on your face. This will infact let the interviewer know that you aren't nervous but are confident.

I hope you guys find this useful.
