I have seen quite a few interview books that claim they have every possible interview question and although they can help, fundamentally it really is down to whether the company likes you or not, because at the end of the day no matter how well qualified you are, if they do not like you you will not get the job, it maybe just B.O. or dirty shoes but it can be enough to put the interviewer off.

Also there is something that will always make the difference is personality, in fact you can go a long way on this alone, even when you may not be suitable! There is this gut feeling you get when you interview a candidate when you know they arejust right.

I suppose the question is why? Not an easy answer but there is this quality that stands out when the interviewer just knows that this candidate is the idea fit. It is when all the other points come together, the way you dress, the research you have done and then the way you present yourself. The final key is to be confident, smile and you get on with the interviewer

As I said "if you have enjoyed the interview then so have they". You also need to remember this point, you wouldn’t have the interview if the company didn’t think you were suitable in the first place, so don’t disappoint them by turning up late, not doing your research, and make sure you are dressed smartly and finally you believe in yourself!
