13. Interview Tips The “right” thinking. Ask yourself:
Why the company wants to employ someone?
Who makes the final decision? (One person or many?)
What are the “pass” criteria?
Who is the most important person during the interview?
How can you help the company achieve their goals?
What kind of person are they after?
The “right” approach:
Think Positively (Experience, Questions, Answers)
Be honest with yourself and others in a positive way.
Focus on the needs of person who interviews you!
Be Optimistic.
Have “can do” attitude.
Be helpful.

14. Interview Tips Before the interview:
Write down key info about the job from job spec.
Practice with a friend (avoid memorizing)
Go through Interview Q&As examples / Job Spec req.
Fill in the key gaps if you have the time.
Find out who will interview you (LinkedIn)
Stress? What is the worst that can happen?
Accept it
Prepare
Still Negative thoughts? Try EFT (Tapping) or Anchoring (NLP)
Prepare portfolio of SSRS Samples.
Print them out and organize nicely in a folder.
During interview tell you have samples and you would like to share it and they can either view it or keep it.

15. Interview Tips During the interview:
Keep eye contact (relaxed and not constant)
Control and observe body language (react to it)
Avoid overconfidence.
