hmp, this is a good topic that even i can relate to it when i was still seeking for a job.. base on experience, just be yourself when you apply and look the interviewer in the eyes. be confident and be smart. sometimes, law of attraction will come on handy. ;-)

I have learned that it depends on the job. Most jobs it is best to go in with confidence, not over the top almost rudeness, but not timid either. Some jobs require you to be very caring especially if it is one where you will be helping people. Most jobs want you to know what you are talking about and show that you have some understanding about what you are applying for. If you can mix them all together it is even better, but I am saying it depends on the job you are applying for.

hi darkraj be sure to be dressed not overly but look good and have
a neat clean appearance . Be su re you know something about the job you are applying for and try to be confident and honest with the interviewer.Ask a few questions too as you go along so the interviewer will see y ou are knowledgeable about the job or if its a trainee ask what it will entail? good l uck as thats all I remember as its been decades since I had to apply for a job.

I've been through a lot of job interviews already and all I can say is just to be yourself. Don't pretend that you know something but you really don't. Be confident that you are qualified for the job and not just merely saying that I think I am qualified for the job because you are not sure that you are.
Also. Just be calm and don't panic when the interviewer asked questions to you. Make sure that you know what you are applying for and how can you help uplift the company's profile in any way you can because employers want their applicants to be a person that is productive, not a stagnant one.
In addition, observe eye contact. Don't lose your sight in your interviewers eye. They are very vigilant to it so be careful. They should feel like you are a professional person so what you should do is to observe respect the way you make conversion with the interviewer.
