1. Do thorough research about the company
Are you going for a walk-in or got an interview call from a company? In any case, you should never go for it without having any detailed information about the company like its work domain, etc. Make a little effort to read the company page on the internet, it will help you to understand their offered services and how you fit into that. If the recruiter finds out that you have no idea of what they do, it puts a negative impact on you.

Pressurize on your strengths like your training experiences, internship records, special certifications and previous job expertise (if any).

3. Prepare a good crisp resume
A crisp and clear resume is always expected from a fresher. You can get the help of the other experienced in the field to prepare a good resume for you. Use short points and more bullets. A fresher’s resume should be one or two pages only. Mention all your skills and educational qualifications in short. And, never forget to highlight the important skills suitable for the job you are applying for.

4. Show your uniqueness
Since you have no prior experiences of working in any company, the recruiter has not many options to get an idea of your strength. And, remember you might be competing with hundreds or thousands of fresher candidates for that job who are also having the same educational background as yours. So, you need to be distinct from them so that the interviewer chose you for the job, right? Just look confident, positive, calm, focused and the original you.

5. Prepare well for the interview – before and after
Several different types of online questionnaires are available online dedicated to specific job roles. Before heading for an interview, you can certainly download those from the internet and prepare your answers for the most basic questions among them.

You can build job profiles on a couple of popular job boards online. This way you will be able to make a range of targeted job searches in a quick manner.
