After gathering data and answering every doubt or query, the candidate will be better prepared to show the interviewer he knows the company and demonstrate that his hiring will be an asset. The candidate should reread his CV, prepare the necessary documents and choose suitable clothes for the interview. During the interview The candidate should take a CV to the interview because the interviewer may not have read it recently and it may be necessary to remind some information. He may also take his portfolio, which is not the same thing as a CV, which can be useful to display while describing and detailing experience. A CV is a brief of the candidate’s academic achievements and experience; the portfolio is a collection of material you believe best demonstrates the quality of your career. All the candidates have the right to be treated with elegance and perfect manners, be heard with attention and delicacy and also have the right to be taken seriously. Always stand up for your rights. The interviewer has also the right to be treated politely. During the interview adopt a positive attitude. Never mention people (former employers, for example) to defame, complain or criticize.
