Read about how best to answer these questions and review your responses. Be clever; the

people on the panel are experts, they do not ask you direct questions sometimes. They
may also ask further questions based on your responses. Be wise! Put on a beautiful

smile and be at peace with yourself. It is an interview, be bold and speak up, do

everything possible to make it conversational.

Ask reasonable questions if you are told to do so. Show good manners, be natural, be

yourself. At the end of the interview, thank the interviewers politely with a smile. How
you unpack at the interview table and the way you leave the room is also observed. Do

these movements confidently. Do not forget to greet the receptionist or secretary before
you leave the premises.
