You must know the nature of the Interview:
Firstly, you must be clear what type of interview you are going to face. This is because regular job interviews are different from contract job interviews. Again, get certain that government job interviews are different from Private Sector job interviews. That is why the interviewers ask questions as per the nature of the job. In this connection, depending on the level of assignment, you have to check the role of language especially English in that job. This is especially important if you have to interact with the people in English. The same apply for any other language relevant to your job. In fact, you have to prepare questions as per the requirement of the organization.
Have fluency or mastery of the relevant language:
I have mentioned this in the last paragraph. So, find out what language is relevant to the organization. That will help you prepare for the interview questions. I had ones witnessed a situation where an interviewee was just employed because he could peak the language of the employer. There reason was that, no matter what, they will not have problem in communicating with him. In fact, the employee’s first assignment was to mediate for other interviewee going forward.
That tells you the power of language n job places. So, try you best to work on having good fluency over the language of Interview. To keep your language flouncing make a lot of use of it every time before, during and after interview. In this case, speak with your friends, relatives, known and unknown in the language.

I once interviewed someone who came for a job interview and does not know the name nor the address of the office he is coming for interview. I know you know that the result for such a person will be before he gets there. So, my dear, do some homework now.
To get ready the more – Introduce yourself:
