5. Enhance your chances of getting selected

Even though you cannot control the entire selection process, there are parts of it that can work in your favour if you play your cards right. Make sure you link your resume to the job description. Convince the recruiters through the interview and your resume that you are the ideal fit for the job. Send them a thank you email. Show them that you’re grateful for the opportunity given and you hope to be a part of their team.

You can mention points that you missed out during the interview. Keep a calm and cool mind. Interact with everyone at the organisation in a pleasant way. Nobody is too big or too small when it comes to the interview process. From the janitor to the security guard, greet everyone with a smile. You never know how things play out.
