PREPARE THE INTERVIEW
Research the company you want to work with. Once you have approved your resume and decided which of the companies offered you that you would like to join, it is time to prepare for the job interview. For them it is very important that as a first step you analyze the company in which you will work, learn more about the history, values, and true purpose of the company.
You need to show that you know what you really want, and you should convince the interviewer that of all the applicants out there, you are the best for that position.
It is also helpful to know the name and position in the company of the person you will interview. It has been shown that people always react better and are more friendly when called by name.
Attend well presented. One of the most important things is to dress during the interview, because this is what you see. Most of the interview time is going on you should go to that job, that is, if it is an office, then the dress is formal (jacket, optional tie and shirt, in case the women are dark pants and shoes most of the time), although if the information is very informal it can also be conveniently dressed formally as well.
Arrive 15 or 20 minutes before the interview is agreed, do not be late or on time.
Be sure to present your achievements. Your interviewer really does what he or she is going to do to ask you about the things you have insured on your resume, so it is very important not to lie or exaggerate the things in it. You should make sure that you have demonstrated all of your skills or even explained them.
This is where your university career is most important, because if it is related to the position you want, you will probably be asked about your performance and your qualifications and it is important that you support yourself with the certificates that are in your curriculum.

Send a thank-you note to the company. When the job interview is over, the best thing you can do is send a thank-you note and thank you to the company (you can do this via email) thanks for the opportunity to be a part and goodwill of your interviewer.
If you later realize that there is something you can add to the interview, you can do so in the letter, as long as it is short, and make sure you can relate it to the topics discussed in the interview and the company’s main interests.
It also clarifies in the letter that you want to discuss any of their questions, this way you are more open to conversation, and through the letter you open up a more informal way of communication to be able to talk more openly interviewer.
So patience and perseverance. The main problem with work after university is the lack of experience, so sometimes it is more difficult to get the job. For that reason you should be patient and be patient with this issue. If not this time it will be next. The important thing is not to despair, and, as mentioned before, not to keep one company but try many at once.
Usually the contact time between the interview and the moment they talk to you is, above all, two weeks. If the company does not already know you, do not despair, you can send an email to ask about the status of your job application.
If you are called after Congratulations !, it is very important that you be responsible and enjoy your new job, always continue to practice and strive to be better at what you do, this way you will get promotions very easily.
