• Plan to arrive at least 20 minutes before the interview time. However, enter the reception area of the employer's office no earlier than 5 minutes before the scheduled interview time.
• Turn-off your mobile phone before the interview (leaving it in vibrate mode is not sufficient).
• Greet the interviewer(s) and introduce yourself by name. Shake hands firmly.

• Look in to the interviewer's eyes when answering a question posed to you.
• Leave discussion about compensation, package etc... towards the end of the interview.
• When asked, mention the benefits that you'd like to receive as remuneration. Don't be vague about the benefits.
• Clarify whether retirement-benefits (e.g. 401k matching) and medical/dental insurance is part of the offer.
• When asked, present the list of work/character references.
• Always thank the interviewers at the end of the interview (whether or not you think you did well).
• You may receive a call or an email on the very same day or a few days/weeks after the interview. Answer/respond promptly and try to remember the interview you had with that potential employer.
• Be prepared to negotiate remuneration. Don't always accept the first offer, negotiate and accept what you think is reasonable for your strengths and qualifications.

• Research market rates for the position available. Consider what will be the minimum rate you will offer and the maximum rate you can offer.
• Schedule the interview with the candidate for no more than 45 to 60 minutes.
• Select at least two interviewers - one should be from the area of expertise that is being sought, and the other from the H/R department.
• Inform the receptionist about the candidate and who/where the candidate should be directed to when he/she arrives at your office.
• Have printed copies of candidate's résumés to distribute among the interview panel members.

• Introduce your company and the interview panel briefly then ask the candidate to introduce himself/herself. Make sure this whole process does not take more than 5 minutes.
• Pose general interview questions first and then move on to more specific questions. The interview panel should be posing questions and waiting for the candidate replies. Make sure the interview panel does not interrupt the candidate too many times. Overall the ratio of panel to candidate speech duration should be 1 to 3 or better.
• Watch for signs that the candidate is interested in this position with your company. If you notice the mobile phone ringing or beeps from incoming text messages, it's best not to consider that candidate any further.
• If during the interview, it is felt that the candidate is not suitable for the position, it is best to end the interview at that point in a polite manner rather than continue with the process.
• If during the interview, it is felt that the candidate is suitable, towards the end of the interview ask about compensation expectations. Write down the expectations.
