In a rough economy, it will be a tough job marketplace and how will you stand out in the crowd? After all the interviews have been conducted by your employer, how will you be the most memorable candidate that the company has seen? How can you stand out and win that job you deperately need? 

Here are some top job interview success techniques that you can make used of immediately to give you an edge and be the one to answer the question, "Can you start Monday?"

First, arrive ten to fifteen minutes earlier at the interview location and know in advance how you should get there. You couldn't believe how many people arrive very early which can show you are desperate or turn up late. You should aim for the middle ground a little early. At least, you now have one tick in your favour.

Dress for success, its a must in neat and clean attire. For the gentlemen, a shirt, tie and suit is the normal choice, conservative colours and perhaps a bold but not outlandish tie. For the ladies a matching pant suit or blouse and skirt, again just be conservative. Depending on the type of position you are applying for, dress for the role or better.

Prepared yourself and do some research on the company background. What types of product or services do they provide? Know the company key products and find out a little about the competition. Most likely, you will be asked some questions and ignorance about your new employer will diminish any chance of winning the job. A very good sources are the employers website, Google and read the last annual report.

The day where it is time for the interview. The arrangement can be a single interviewer or a panel. Many companies now use the panel approach with 2 to 3 people. You are most likely to be asked two main types of interview questions, behavioural and technical. 

The behavioural kind of questions typically start with, "Tell me about a time you... made a mistake or made savings or solved a problem". This is the time for you to shine and provides you with the opportunity to discuss how good a fit you are for this company position. These questions are designed to discover how you work and operate as a person. Practice the answers with a partner or friend so you can answer easily and comfortably. 

As for the technical type of questions, these are specific to the role and again do your research and be prepared. Keep in mind that a lack of preparation will not lead to any degree of success.

Lastly and the most important, do remember to smile and make eye contact. When you are asked a question by the interviewer, respond directly to that person but also make eye contact with the other panel members. And again, give a smile and before you leave the interview ask for that job.
