Know about the job
It's advisable that you must analyze what your prospective employer is looking for. To know about the job, we'll recommend you to go through the job description completely & take out some main points from there which you think employer is stressing on. Once you get those points try to relate your experience, job profile & personality with them. Try to show what employer is looking for in a candidate.
Research the company
Every employer expect from the candidate that he/she must go through the company profile & background before coming to the interview. They also expect that the candidate should know about company future plans & goals in advance before he reach the venue. Be ready will all the information before you reach the reception & also be ready to talk in depth about the industry, the organization, and the position you are applying for.
